Service
Driveway & Concrete Cleaning in Sumter, SC
Concrete holds onto everything — dirt, mildew, tire marks, spilled oil. We run a surface cleaner across it for an even finish instead of the wand stripes you get from DIY jobs.
What this service covers
Flat concrete gets cleaned with a rotating surface cleaner, which covers the slab evenly at a consistent distance and speed. That is what prevents the striped, zebra look.
Edges, cracks and tight spots along the garage and walkway are finished by hand with a wand so the whole slab matches.
What's included
- Full driveway including the apron at the street
- Walkways and front sidewalk
- Garage floor entry and edges
- Hand detailing along beds, steps and curbs
- Post-rinse so dirt does not dry back onto the slab
- Pre-treatment on heavy mildew and organic staining
Problems this solves
- Gray-green mildew shading across the slab
- Black tire marks and traffic lanes
- Rust and irrigation staining
- Dirt buildup in expansion joints and along edges
- Mismatched patches after a DIY wand cleaning
Why it's worth doing right
Benefits
Even, stripe-free finish
Surface cleaners give a uniform result across the whole slab, edge to edge.
Safer footing
Algae and mildew on concrete get slick when wet. Cleaning removes the slip hazard.
The first thing guests see
A bright driveway sharpens the whole front of the property, even before the house is washed.
Ready to seal
If you plan to seal the concrete, a proper clean is the right first step.

Questions
Driveway & Concrete Cleaning FAQs
- Will you get out oil stains?
- We treat oil and do our best, but deeply soaked older stains may lighten rather than disappear. We will tell you what to expect before we start.
- Why does my driveway look striped after a DIY wash?
- A wand cleans in narrow bands at inconsistent distances. A surface cleaner holds one distance across the slab, which is why the result comes out even.
- Do you clean pool decks and patios too?
- Yes. Any flat concrete works, and we adjust pressure for pavers, stamped and decorative surfaces.
- Do I need to move my cars?
- Yes, please move vehicles off the driveway and keep the area clear until it is finished.
- How long does the driveway stay clean?
- Usually about a year in our climate, less on shaded slabs under trees.
- Do you need my water?
- We use an outside spigot on most residential jobs. Let us know if access is an issue and we will plan around it.
