Driveway pressure washing brings back concrete, pavers and paths that have turned green, black or grimy. In the Illawarra’s damp, shaded spots, mould, moss and algae can make outdoor surfaces dangerously slippery, especially after rain. A proper pressure clean restores the surface and makes it safer to walk on.

What builds up on driveways and paths

• Mould, moss and algae on shaded paths, retaining walls and the south side of the house
• Lichen on concrete, pavers and stone
• Dirt, tyre marks and general grime on driveways
• Leaf staining under trees

Signs your driveway needs a pressure wash

• Green or black patches that stay after rain
• Paths or steps that feel slippery underfoot
• Dark staining under trees or along the edges
• Weeds or moss growing in paver joints
• Grime that a garden hose and broom won’t shift

Surfaces we pressure wash

Illawarra Maintenance Group pressure washes concrete driveways, paths and courtyards, pavers, exposed aggregate, pool surrounds, retaining walls, carports and patios. Each surface is cleaned with the pressure matched to the material.

Why the right pressure matters

Too much pressure in the wrong place can etch concrete, loosen stones in exposed aggregate and strip jointing sand from pavers. Where pressure isn’t safe for a surface, a soft wash with a cleaning solution is used instead, the same approach used on fragile roofs. Read more in soft washing vs pressure washing.

A safer outdoor area

A slippery path is a real fall risk for children, older family members and visitors. Cleaning entryways, steps and pool surrounds is one of the simplest ways to make an outdoor area safer. For strata buildings and commercial sites, IMG completes safe work method statements on every job and carries $20 million public liability. See our work with strata and property managers.

Getting ready to sell or paint

Clean paths, driveways and walls make a big difference to first impressions when selling, and give a clean surface if you are repainting.

How often to pressure wash a driveway

A well-cleaned driveway stays looking good for a long time. Shaded, damp areas and spots under trees grow back faster and may need doing more often.

One visit, whole property

You can book pressure washing together with a roof wash, gutter clean or solar panel clean.

Frequently asked questions

Will pressure washing damage my driveway?

Not when the pressure is matched to the surface. Where pressure isn’t safe, a soft wash is used instead.

Can you clean exposed aggregate and pavers?

Yes, with care to keep the stones and jointing sand in place.

Do you clean walls and pool surrounds too?

Yes. We clean retaining walls, pool surrounds, carports, patios and courtyards as well as driveways and paths.
