Driveway, concrete, and paver cleaning
Driveways, sidewalks, patios, and hardscape areas collect oil, tire marks, dirt, mildew, algae, and years of everyday buildup. Professional driveway cleaning helps restore the appearance of concrete, pavers, stone, and other exterior surfaces while reducing slippery buildup. It is a practical choice before a showing, appraisal, HOA review, special event, or general property refresh.
The right cleaning can make a meaningful difference. In one case, we uncovered a high-quality paver section that had been hidden under accumulated dirt, which changed the client's renovation plans and saved considerable time, money, and effort.
Typical cleaning process
Most driveway and concrete cleaning work follows a simple sequence: surface cleaning with a surface cleaner, targeted pressure washing or stain treatment where needed, and a final rinse of the complete area.
What affects the result?
Concrete is durable, but it can still be etched, striped, or scarred by too much pressure or poor technique. Oil stains, tire marks, irrigation staining, algae, shade, plant debris, and surface age all affect the cleaning plan. Older oil or petroleum staining may improve significantly without disappearing completely, so pretreatment and expectations should be discussed before work begins.
Sealing is not automatic after every driveway cleaning. It can make sense for some decorative concrete, pavers, or stain-prone surfaces, but standard concrete does not always need it. CHD evaluates sealing, runoff, nearby landscaping, and surface condition case by case.
