Driveways, walkways and sidewalks cleaned edge to edge with a commercial surface cleaner — no wand stripes, no etching.
Concrete is the one surface where real pressure belongs — but how it is applied decides whether you get a clean slab or a striped one. A handheld wand cleans in a narrow arc, so overlapping passes leave visible zebra lines that never fully disappear. A surface cleaner puts spinning jets under a shroud and cleans a wide band at uniform pressure, which is why the result looks even.
Organic staining — the black and green that South Florida grows on everything — comes up reliably. Rust from irrigation water and leaf tannin usually responds to a dedicated treatment rather than more pressure. Oil that has soaked into the pores of the slab is a different problem: it can often be lightened significantly, but a slab that has been dripped on for a decade will not come back to new. We will tell you which category yours falls into before you book, not after.
Turning the pressure up to force out a stubborn stain is how concrete gets damaged. Too much pressure erodes the cement paste and exposes the aggregate, leaving a rough, permanently lighter patch. Pre-treating the surface so the growth releases on its own does more than raw force, and it does it without wrecking the finish.
Flatwork produces a lot of runoff, and in Broward County that water heads toward storm drains that lead to canals and the Intracoastal. We manage runoff as part of the job rather than letting it find its own way — which matters both for the environment and for property owners who can be held responsible for what leaves their site.
