Pressure washing for driveways, walls and pool decks

Why do Florida driveways turn dark?

Heat, humidity and months of afternoon rain are ideal for mildew, algae and mold on concrete, pavers and stucco. Shaded spots, north-facing walls and areas next to sprinklers go first. Some HOAs send notices when driveways and walks get dark enough to stand out from the street.

What can be pressure washed?

• Driveways and walkways, concrete or pavers.
• Pool decks and patios, including the area inside the screen enclosure.
• Exterior walls, stucco or siding.
• Curbs, entry steps and fences.

The right pressure for each surface

More pressure isn’t always better. Concrete can take a strong surface cleaner; pavers, stucco, paint and screen enclosures need lower pressure, or the joint sand washes out, the stucco gets etched or the paint lifts. We pre-treat mildew so the surface comes clean without blasting it, and we rinse nearby plants and grass before and after.

How often should you pressure wash in Florida?

It depends on shade, sprinklers and how much the surface gets used. Many owners do it once a year, often at the end of the rainy season; rentals and homes getting ready to sell often more. Sprinklers that hit the driveway leave orange or dark streaks that come back fast; an irrigation adjustment fixes the cause.

Before you paint or seal

Paint and coatings only stick to clean surfaces. Pressure washing is the first step of driveway crack repair and painting and exterior painting, and it should come first if you plan to seal pavers.

What to expect on the day

We need access to an outside water faucet. Move cars off the driveway and bring in anything you don’t want wet (doormats, outdoor rugs, pet bowls). Surfaces are usually dry in a few hours on a sunny day.

We pressure wash in Celebration, Davenport, Four Corners, ChampionsGate and Clermont. Pair it with window cleaning for a full exterior refresh, or see all property services.
