Driveway Cleaning in Canberra
Canberra driveways collect years of mildew, algae, dirt, and decomposing leaves, staining surfaces and causing safety hazards. Our high-pressure clean paired with a proper chemical pre-treatment (and post-treatment depending on the job) lifts it all — not just what a domestic pressure washer can shift. Whether you're in Forrest, Kingston, Griffith, Yarralumla or anywhere across the ACT, we bring commercial-grade equipment and technique to your front driveway.

Why Canberra driveways get so dirty
Canberra's climate is a perfect storm for driveway grime. Frosty mornings keep concrete damp for hours, deciduous street trees drop leaves that decompose into black tannin stains, and long dry summers bake dust and pollen into the surface. Add tyre marks, the occasional oil drip, and airborne algae spores drifting off shaded fences and lawns, and even a two-year-old driveway starts to look tired. Domestic pressure washers can shift the loose top layer but they don't kill the biofilm underneath — which is why the grime seems to come back within weeks. Our chemistry-first approach breaks that cycle at the root.
Concrete, exposed aggregate and paved driveways
We clean every driveway surface commonly used across Canberra: broom-finished concrete, exposed aggregate, coloured and stencilled concrete, brick and clay pavers, bluestone, and stamped concrete. Each surface needs a different pressure setting, nozzle and dwell time — exposed aggregate for example needs a lighter touch than plain concrete to avoid dislodging stones, and coloured concrete benefits from a gentler chemistry so the pigment isn't dulled. A commercial rotating surface cleaner does the main pass so you get an even, stripe-free finish, then a detail wand tidies edges, expansion joints and the transition to the garage slab.
Long-term care for Canberra driveways
A professional clean lasts far longer than a DIY job because we kill the algae and lichen spores that cause regrowth, not just the visible surface. For most Canberra driveways one clean every 10 to 18 months keeps the surface looking sharp and safe underfoot — driveways under heavy tree cover or on shaded southern-aspect blocks tend to need it a little more often. Every driveway job is backed by our satisfaction guarantee: you don't pay until you're happy with the finish.
