Driveway Cleaning Sydney
Deep driveway cleaning that lifts oil, tyre marks, leaf tannins and ingrained grime to restore concrete, pavers and brick to an even, like-new finish.
What's Involved
Driveway Cleaning done properly
Driveways take more punishment than any other surface around a home: tyres, oil drips, leaf litter, tannin stains from trees, soil wash and the black mould and algae that grow in shaded strips. Driveway cleaning removes that build-up so the surface looks even again and is less slippery when wet.
Every driveway is cleaned by Lucky, the owner. The method is chosen for the surface rather than using full pressure on everything.
Surfaces
Driveway surfaces we clean
- Plain and coloured concrete
- Exposed aggregate
- Brick and concrete pavers
- Natural stone such as sandstone, where the surface allows
- Kerb crossings, side strips and the paths joining the driveway
Assessment
Looking at the driveway first
Before cleaning, the driveway is checked for the surface type, any existing sealer or coating, the condition of joints and jointing sand, cracks, oil and rust marks, and where the rinse water will run. Painted or coated driveways and soft or weathered stone need a gentler approach than bare concrete.
Process
How a driveway is cleaned
- Loose leaves and debris are cleared and nearby walls, cars and garden beds are protected
- Stained or heavily grown areas are pre-treated where needed
- The cleaning method and pressure are selected to suit the driveway surface and its condition
- Edges, joints, kerbs and steps are included in the agreed cleaning scope
- The whole area is rinsed off, including the surrounds
Limitations
What driveway cleaning can and can't fix
Cleaning lifts dirt, mould, algae and much of the surface staining. Deep oil soaked into concrete, rust, tyre marks on some surfaces, paint and old sealer damage may only fade rather than come out completely. Cracks, sunken pavers and worn surfaces are not repaired by cleaning.
Washing out paver joints can remove loose jointing sand. If your pavers need re-sanding afterwards, you will be told.

FAQ
Driveway Cleaning questions
- Can you remove oil stains from a concrete driveway?
- Surface oil and fresh drips usually clean up well. Oil that has soaked deep into concrete often fades rather than disappearing completely. You will be told what to expect after the driveway is looked at.
- Will pressure cleaning damage my pavers?
- The pressure and method are matched to the surface. Paver joints can lose loose sand during cleaning, so you are told if re-sanding is needed afterwards.
- Do you clean painted or sealed driveways?
- Painted and sealed surfaces are cleaned more gently because high pressure can lift a coating that is already failing. The condition is checked first.
- How do I get a driveway cleaning quote?
