Driveway & patio cleaning · Huntsville & North Alabama
A surface cleaner lifts the dirt and organic growth that darken concrete driveways, walks, patios and pool decks, for a more even look across the whole slab.
Concrete is porous and textured, so it holds onto soil and organic growth. Shaded walks turn green, patio edges collect dirt beside the flower beds, and driveways often look darkest where cars park and water runs off. A general layer of buildup is a different problem from a concentrated oil, rust or red clay stain.
One quote can cover the driveway, walks, patio and pool deck, or just the area you need. The general clean removes dirt and organic growth across all of it. Stains that have soaked into the concrete may need separate treatment, and we’ll tell you up front if some discoloration is likely to remain.

Widespread buildup and concentrated stains call for different work.
A surface cleaner gives even coverage to dirt and green growth across sound concrete.
Oil, tire marks, rust and clay are handled as stain work. More pressure is no substitute for the right treatment.
We pre-treat with detergent so pressure isn’t doing all the work, then run a surface cleaner across sound concrete for even, overlapping coverage. Our 8 GPM, 3,500 PSI machine is configured so compatible concrete receives no more than 1,200 PSI. We finish the edges and joints and pay attention to where the rinse water drains. Oil, tire marks, rust and clay are handled as stain work rather than blasted with more pressure.
See the difference
Oil, rust and red clay stains need separate treatment, and deep discoloration can remain. Cleaning doesn’t repair cracks, flaking or worn concrete.
From our work
The broad driveway changes from dark and mottled to a lighter, more even surface. Follow the concrete from the street toward the garage to see the difference across the whole area.

Not quite. Pavers, brick and stone need care for their joints, mortar and any existing sealer, so we quote them through our Paver, Brick & Stone Cleaning service. You can put concrete and masonry on the same quote request.
Orange marks are often red clay or rust. A general clean removes the dirt around them but not the mineral stain itself, which is what our Red Clay & Rust Stain Removal service treats, with a cleaner matched to the surface.
Send a close photo and a wider view showing where the staining starts, such as a soil edge, metal fixture or sprinkler. We can then quote the stain work alongside the rest of the concrete.
Wet concrete makes soil, growth, tire residue and older stains stand out. If one area stays darker than the rest once it dries, point it out when you contact us so we can look at what’s causing it.
It depends on the starting condition. Sound poured concrete, a patched section, a coating and an already worn edge each need their own consideration. We check the surface and joints before choosing how to clean, so tell us about any known repairs or damage.
Cleaning removes buildup; it doesn’t repair cracks, replace joint material or make patched and original concrete match. Existing wear can still show afterward.
A dark parking spot can hold ordinary traffic film, tire residue or oil that has soaked into the concrete. General cleaning handles the surface buildup, while marks within the concrete may remain or need separate treatment. Tell us about any oil leaks and what cleaners you’ve already tried, so we can set clear expectations for the stain as well as the slab around it.
We clean; we don’t offer concrete or paver sealing. If you’re arranging sealing with someone else, tell us about that plan and any existing coating when you ask for a quote, and check the sealing company’s own preparation requirements. A cleaning quote doesn’t include a new protective finish.
Every driveway or patio clean is quoted for the specific property, and quotes are free. The price depends on the square footage, how dark the concrete is, whether there are stains that need separate treatment and how easy the area is to reach. A wide photo and a close-up can start the quote, we can often measure with GPS-assisted tools, and we visit when the property needs it or you’d prefer it. Your quote spells out what’s included, and the price only changes if you change the scope. You don’t pay until the work is done.
List each area you want cleaned and send a wide photo that shows how the driveway, walks, patio or pool deck connect, plus a close-up of the worst stain. Mention coatings or repaired and crumbling sections. We can often measure the areas with GPS-assisted tools, and your quote will separate the general clean from any stain work.
Pick the service, add your town and describe the areas. A wide photo and a close-up can start the quote, and you can review everything before it’s sent.

How we work
Around the same property
Any of these can go on one request, or read the details first.
We clean soil and organic growth from paver patios, brick paths and natural stone, with a method chosen for the joint material, the surface finish and any existing sealer.
Red clay and rust leave orange stains that washing alone won’t lift. We identify the stain and the surface, then treat concrete, brick and siding with a stain-specific cleaner.
