Why driveways go grey in San Diego
A driveway is the biggest hard surface most homes have, and it sits in full sun, takes car traffic and catches everything the sprinklers and the trees drop. Over a few years the light concrete turns grey, tire marks set in, and oil spots darken. Because it changes slowly, most owners do not notice until they see a neighbor's clean driveway next to theirs.
We clean driveways, sidewalks, patios, pavers and garage floors with a rotary surface cleaner, which gives an even finish with no wand stripes. Oil, rust and tannin stains are pre treated first so they lift instead of spreading, and the edges and steps are finished by hand. Pavers are cleaned at a lower pressure so the joint sand stays put.
How we do it
Pre treat stains
Oil, rust and organic stains get a treatment before any water touches them.
Surface clean
A rotary surface cleaner gives an even finish with no wand stripes.
Edge and detail
Edges, steps and corners are cleaned by hand.
Rinse and walkthrough
Everything is rinsed off the drive and walkway, then we walk it with you.

Driveway and Concrete Cleaning questions
Can you get oil stains out of my driveway?
Most oil stains lighten a lot or come out completely with a pre treatment and a full cleaning. Very old stains that have soaked deep into the concrete may fade instead of disappearing, and we will tell you what to expect before we start.
Will cleaning damage my pavers?
No. Pavers are cleaned at a lower pressure than plain concrete so the joint sand and the surface stay intact.
How often should a driveway be cleaned?
Once a year keeps it looking new. Driveways under trees or with a lot of car traffic may need it more often.
How do I get a price?
Send a photo of the driveway with the form or call. Quotes are free and based on size and condition.
Can you clean a garage floor?
Yes. Garage floors are cleaned the same way as driveways, with oil spots pre treated first. Clear the floor before we arrive and keep the door open while it dries.
Do you clean stamped or colored concrete?
Yes, at a lower pressure to protect the finish and the color. Tell us when you book so we plan for it.
Will cleaning remove rust stains from sprinklers?
Most rust stains lighten a lot with a rust treatment and some come out completely. Very old stains can fade rather than disappear, and we will tell you what to expect.
