Start with the areas you use
Concrete driveway, path and patio cleaning
Shade, rain and everyday traffic leave their mark on outdoor surfaces. Algae can build up along the edges of a path; tyre marks and general grime make a driveway look tired even when the house is clean.
Tell us whether you want the full driveway, only the front entrance, or several areas washed together. We’ll identify the surfaces and any delicate edges before quoting.

- Paths and entranceways
- Patios and courtyards
- Paved and brick areas, if suitable
- Carports and parking areas
- Agreed outdoor hard surfaces
The right method for the job
Water blasting, washing and spot treatment
People often call every hard-surface clean “water blasting”. The method depends on what is underfoot and what needs removing. We’ll talk through the surface and its condition first.
General build-up
Concrete pressure washing
On suitable sound concrete, controlled pressure washing helps lift accumulated dirt, grime and surface growth. The aim is an even clean across the agreed area, including the edges where practical.
Pressure and technique are adjusted for the concrete. A worn or fragile surface may need a more cautious approach.
Marks that need a closer look
Algae, oil and other stains
Green growth may call for a treatment as well as washing. Oil, rust and old stains behave differently: some can be improved, while stains that have soaked in may remain visible.
Point out problem spots in your enquiry so we can explain what is realistic and quote any targeted treatment separately.
A cleaner result starts with a clear plan
What happens before the driveway wash?
We need to know the size of the area, surface type, access to water and where the wash water can go. Please mention nearby garden beds, painted surfaces, stormwater drains and any area that cannot get wet.
Runoff needs attention, particularly where dirt or cleaning products could enter a stormwater drain. We’ll discuss the site conditions and planned approach before starting, including how wash water will be managed.

Show the full area and the problem spots
One photo from the road or entrance helps us see the overall size. Close-ups show algae, oil marks, exposed aggregate, pavers or damaged patches.
Tell us whether cars can be moved and where the nearest tap is. If you want a house wash at the same time, say so in the same enquiry.

Add the driveway to your exterior clean
A washed house can make a stained entrance look more noticeable. If you’re booking house washing, gutter cleaning or a pre-sale clean, ask us to price the driveway and paths in the same enquiry.

Questions before booking
Do you clean driveways in Auckland and Northland?
Yes. Send the address in Auckland, Whangārei or elsewhere in Northland and a few photos of the area. We’ll confirm availability and provide a quote for the surfaces you want cleaned.
Is driveway cleaning the same as water blasting?
Water blasting or pressure washing is one way to clean suitable hard surfaces. The right method depends on the concrete, pavers or coating and what needs removing. We choose the approach after reviewing the surface.
Can you remove slippery algae from a concrete path?
We can clean surface growth from suitable concrete paths and discuss whether a treatment is appropriate. A freshly cleaned path can still become slippery again with rain, shade and new growth, so keep an eye on shaded areas.
Will pressure washing remove oil stains?
It can improve some marks, but oil that has soaked into porous concrete may not come out completely. Send a close-up when requesting a quote so we can discuss whether targeted treatment is worthwhile.
Can you clean pavers, brick or exposed aggregate?
We can assess these surfaces, but they need care around joints, edging and any sealer. Tell us the material and share photos, especially if the surface is old, loose or flaking.
How long does a driveway wash take?
It depends on the area, the amount of build-up, access and any treatment needed. Photos and dimensions help us give you a sensible estimate when quoting.
Do I need to move my car?
Yes, please move vehicles from the surfaces being washed and make the tap accessible. It also helps to move pots, mats and loose items from the work area.
Can driveway cleaning be booked with a house wash?
Yes. Ask for both in the same enquiry and we’ll discuss the scope of each service. Driveway water blasting and low-pressure house washing use different methods.

OUR SERVICES
Exterior cleaning services
From the roofline to the driveway, choose the areas that need attention.
House Washing
Green walls, dusty cladding and cobwebs under the eaves can make a well-kept home look tired. Our house washing clears the build-up with the exterior surface in mind.
Roof Washing & Treatments
Moss, mould and lichen can spread across a roof before you notice them from the ground. We assess the roof before discussing whether a wash or a gradual treatment is suitable.
Gutter & Spouting Cleaning
Overflowing gutters often start with leaves and debris you cannot see. We clear accessible sections and look at the areas where rainwater has been spilling over.
Commercial Building Wash
Shopfronts, offices and larger buildings collect grime where customers and staff see it every day. We plan each building wash around the surfaces, access and activity on site.
Driveway & Concrete Cleaning
Dirt, algae and traffic marks can dull the approach to a property. We clean suitable concrete driveways, paths and outdoor surfaces using a method that suits their condition.
Deck & Fence Cleaning
A shaded deck or green fence can make the whole outdoor area feel neglected. We clean decks and fences with the material and existing finish in mind.
