Driveways, paths, patios, pool surrounds and retaining walls. Professional-grade gear means most driveways are done in an hour or two, not a whole afternoon.
Concrete driveways, exposed aggregate, stencilcrete, brick and clay pavers, stone paths, pool surrounds, patios, retaining walls, garden edging, steps and pool fencing. If it is hard, outside, and covered in years of Brisbane grime, it is probably on the list.
The gear matters more than people expect. Professional-grade machines and surface cleaners move through a driveway in a fraction of the time a hire unit takes, and they leave an even finish instead of the stripey arcs you get from waving a wand around.
A big share of our work is properties going to market, particularly around Sunnybank and Sunnybank Hills. Driveway, paths, house and roof in one visit, finished inside a day. It is the cheapest thing you can do to a property before photos.
High pressure permanently etches travertine, sandstone and freshly laid concrete. On those we use a low-pressure chemical method instead. Anyone who takes a turbo nozzle to your travertine is about to cost you a lot more than the clean was worth.
A surface cleaner gives you an even finish across the whole slab. It is the difference between a driveway that looks cleaned and one that looks like someone waved a wand at it.
Unless the surface is very well sealed or a closed-pore tile, oil that has soaked into concrete usually cannot be fully removed. Not by us, and not by anyone else either, whatever they tell you on the phone.
What we can often do is lift it significantly — sometimes to the point where you stop noticing it. But we would rather set that expectation before we start than have you standing in the driveway afterwards feeling short-changed. If a stain is going to survive, we will say so when we quote.
The longer explanation, including why it happens and what actually helps.
A realistic result on unsealed concrete: much lighter, not gone. This is the honest version of what to expect.
A standard driveway is an hour or two. Add paths, a patio and a retaining wall and you are looking at half a day.
No, as long as windows and doors are closed and we can get to an outdoor tap.
Your water, yes. Not your power — we bring our own.
Sound concrete handles pressure cleaning fine. Concrete poured in the last few months does not, and neither does natural stone — we switch methods rather than push on regardless.
We take precautions around gardens, and we can move reasonable amounts of furniture. Happy to clean it off while we are there if you do not mind it getting wet.
Usually. Camp Hill and the older inner suburbs are full of narrow side setbacks and we work in them constantly. Tight access adds time, which is reflected in the quote rather than discovered on the day.
Driveways, pavers and brickwork across Brisbane’s southside.
Boat carpet, in this case. If it is hard, outside and filthy, it is worth asking.
Tell us roughly what needs doing and we will come back with a real number. Photos help — a picture of the driveway saves a site visit more often than not.
