Concrete Back To The Color It Was Poured In
Concrete is where we turn the pressure up. We run a surface cleaner over driveways, sidewalks, walkways and patios so the finish comes out even instead of striped, then cut the edges in by hand. This is the one that surprises people most. Your concrete is usually a few shades lighter than you remember it.
What Driveway & Concrete Cleaning Involves
Three stages. The middle one is what separates a clean slab from a striped one.
Pre-Treat The Growth
Concrete holds algae and lichen down in the pores, not just on top, so anything we only rinse will come back. We treat the slab first and give it time to work, so the surface cleaner is lifting growth that's already loose instead of trying to cut through it.
- We pre-treat the slab and give it time to work
- We sort the oil stains from the organic ones
- Joints and expansion lines checked
- We wet your beds and grass edges down first
Surface Cleaner, Not A Wand
A spinning surface cleaner covers the slab at one steady pressure and one steady speed, and that's why the finish comes out even. A hand wand on flatwork leaves stripes and wand marks that anyone can spot as a DIY job, and they don't wash out later.
- Surface cleaner across all open flatwork
- Consistent pressure and pass speed, no striping
- Edges and tight corners cut in by hand
- Overlapping passes so nothing is missed
Rinse And Detail The Edges
We rinse the slab clear so nothing dries back onto it, then do the parts a surface cleaner can't reach by hand. Curb lines, thresholds and the strip along your garage door are what give a job away if you skip them.
- We rinse the whole slab clear, nothing dries back on
- Curbs, thresholds and door strips done by hand
- We flush the loosened growth away from your beds
- We keep the run-off away from your planting
Why It Is Worth Doing
What people around Glennville and Claxton are really paying us to fix.
It Isn't Meant To Be Gray
Most concrete comes up several shades lighter than people expect once the growth and grime are off. The difference between your slab and next door is usually the first thing a visitor notices about the front of the place.
Green Concrete Is Slippery
Algae on a walkway or around a pool is a real slip risk once it's wet, especially on a slope or on steps. Taking it off is a safety job as much as a looks job, and it is the one people put off until somebody goes over.
No Stripes, No Wand Marks
A surface cleaner is what gives you an even finish. Wand marks stay there until the next clean, and they're the clearest sign a driveway got done in a hurry or with the wrong gear.
Driveways, Walkways And Patios
The same setup does your driveway, the front walk, the patio, the pool surround and the pad behind the shop. If it's flat and it's concrete, we'll quote it as part of the same visit, not a second trip.
