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.
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.

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.
