Our Surface & Flatwork Cleaning Process

Flatwork looks simple, but getting even results without damage takes a deliberate approach. Here’s how we handle driveways, sidewalks and pavers across the First Coast.

1. Inspection & surface identification

We identify surface type, existing coatings, joint conditions and drainage so we can tailor chemistry, pressure and tools accordingly.

2. Vegetation & property protection

Nearby landscaping, door thresholds and sensitive areas are protected where needed to minimise overspray and chemical contact.

3. Controlled cleaning passes

Rotary surface cleaners produce even, overlapping passes that avoid striping and minimise fanning or rogue wand marks.

4. Targeted stain treatment

Stubborn areas such as rust, tannin or oil receive spot treatments and agitation appropriate for the surface and environment.

5. Rinse, neutralise & final check

Surfaces are thoroughly rinsed and neutralised where necessary, then inspected from the street and entryway sightlines.

Even, consistent results

Surface cleaners and dialed-in techniques prevent stripes and tiger-lines that cheaper work can leave behind.

Landscaping-aware

We work around plantings, mulch and hardscape to minimise stress on your landscaping while still getting results.

Ideal for HOAs & amenities

Common walks, pool decks and monuments are cleaned to a standard your board and residents can both appreciate.

Pairable with sealing

When you’re ready, we can extend results with paver sanding and sealing or roof and house washing.

Scheduled maintenance

Routes can be set up annually or seasonally so flatwork is always within your standards, not just “before pictures.”

Surface & Flatwork Cleaning FAQs

How often should I clean my driveway and sidewalks?

Most properties benefit from annual surface cleaning, with high-shade or high-traffic areas potentially needing touch-ups more often.

Will your equipment damage my pavers or concrete?

We use controlled pressure, appropriate tips and professional surface cleaners to protect your hardscape while still delivering even results.

Can you remove rust, tannin or fertilizer stains?

Many common stains can be significantly reduced or removed with targeted chemistry. We’ll evaluate specific spots during your estimate.

How long until we can walk or drive on the surface?

In most cases, surfaces are ready for light foot traffic once dry and vehicle traffic shortly after, unless additional sealing is applied.
