Driveway & Concrete Cleaning in Jacksonville, FL
Concrete does not get dirty evenly, which is why a driveway cleaned with a wand comes out looking striped. I run a surface cleaner, a spinning bar under a shroud that covers a wide path at a constant distance, so the whole slab lifts at the same rate and there are no arcs left behind.
Driveway & Concrete Cleaning from $150
What driveway cleaning covers
The gray you are looking at is usually mildew and road film sitting in the pores of the concrete, plus rust from irrigation and tire marks near the garage. Most of it comes off. What is left after that is stain in the stone itself, and I will tell you which is which before you pay for anything.
-
Driveway slab
Full width, corner to corner, in overlapping passes with a surface cleaner.
-
Walkway and entry
The path to the front door and the front step, which is the piece guests actually see up close.
-
Edges and expansion joints
Cut in by hand, because a surface cleaner cannot reach the last inch cleanly.
-
Oil and tire marks
Pre treated before the main pass so they lift with everything else.
-
Rust from irrigation
Orange sprinkler staining gets its own treatment where the concrete will take it.
-
Post rinse
Everything flushed off the slab so the dirt does not dry back onto it.

How it works
- 01
Send a photo
One shot of the driveway from the street tells me the size, the material and what kind of staining you have.

Pre treat the spots
Oil, rust and tire marks get worked before the main pass.
- 03
Surface clean
Overlapping passes across the whole slab, then edges and joints by hand.

Rinse and check
Full flush, then we look at it together while the concrete is still wet.
Driveway & Concrete Cleaning questions
How long does a driveway take?
Under an hour for a standard two car driveway. Add the walkway and entry and it is still a short job, which is why it works so well alongside a house wash.
How much does it cost?
Driveway cleaning starts at $150. Size and staining move it, and bundling it with a house wash and gutters brings all three to $500 instead of $650.
Will every stain come out?
Most will. Deep oil that has soaked in for years and rust that has bonded into the concrete may lighten rather than disappear. I would rather set that expectation before the job than explain it after.
Can you clean pavers the same way?
Pavers get cleaned, not blasted, and then they need joint sand put back. That is a different service, and doing it right is what keeps the pavers from shifting.
Do I need to move my cars?
Yes, and anything else sitting on the slab. Beyond that you do not need to be home as long as I can reach an outside spigot.
How often should concrete be cleaned in Florida?
Once a year for most homes here. Shaded slabs under oaks green up faster and some people do those twice, especially heading into the rainy season.
