Driveway Pressure Washing in West Palm Beach
Most driveways in West Palm Beach cost $100 to $300 to pressure wash. We clean concrete and pavers with a surface cleaner, treat rust and oil stains, and post treat the slab so it dries even.
How We Clean Driveways with a Surface Cleaner
A surface cleaner is a round hood with a spinning bar inside. It holds the spray at the same distance from the concrete, so you get an even clean from edge to edge without the wand lines a hand nozzle can leave. We work the slab in slow, overlapping passes, then rinse the edges, curb, and apron by hand.
Before the clean, we apply a mix that kills the mildew and algae living in the concrete pores. After the clean, we post treat. Skip that step and light and dark stripes often show up as the slab dries.
Concrete and Paver Driveways
Concrete
Plain concrete handles higher pressure well. Most of the gray and black you see is mildew, not dirt, so the pretreatment does much of the work. Bob Vila puts concrete cleaning at about $0.20 to $0.40 per square foot.
Pavers, Sand, and Sealing
Pavers get lower pressure and a careful angle so the joint sand stays put. After the clean, the joints get fresh polymeric sand, and the surface can be sealed. A good sealer lasts about 2 to 3 years in Florida, and premium sealers can reach 3 to 5. Plan on foot traffic after 24 hours and cars after 48 to 72 hours.
Rust, Oil, and Mildew Stains We Remove
Irrigation Rust
Orange streaks along the edge of a driveway usually come from sprinklers. Florida well water is often high in iron, according to UF IFAS, and every watering leaves a little more behind. Rust needs its own treatment, since pressure alone will not move it.
Oil and Tire Marks
Fresh oil comes up well with a degreaser. Old oil soaks deep, so it usually fades a lot but can leave a shadow. We tell you what to expect before we start.
Mildew and Algae
The dark patches near downspouts and under trees are living growth. The pretreatment kills it, and the surface cleaner rinses it away.

Call us with the size of your driveway and the stains you are dealing with, and we will give you a price.
Driveway Cleaning Across West Palm Beach Neighborhoods
Western Gated Communities
Paver driveways are common in Ibis, Andros Isle, Baywinds, and Breakers West, where HOA rules cover how the outside of a home looks. Pavers there get a lower pressure clean, fresh joint sand, and sealing if you want it. Share your gate instructions when you call, and we will work within the hours your HOA allows.
Northwood, El Cid, and Grandview Heights
Many homes in these older neighborhoods have original concrete driveways and walkways under big shade trees. Shade keeps the concrete damp, so mildew grows deep into it. These driveways get a longer dwell time, and worn or cracked spots get a gentler pass.
Homes on Well Water
If your sprinklers run on a well, orange rust lines along the driveway edge are common. We treat the rust on its own and can point out which sprinkler heads are spraying the concrete, so you can adjust them and slow the stains from coming back.
Before We Arrive
A few small steps help the job go faster and keep the price where we quoted it.
- Move cars, bikes, and trash bins off the driveway.
- Turn off the sprinklers for the day so the slab can dry.
- Close the garage door.
- Keep pets inside while we work.
- Tell us about cracks, fresh sealer, or new landscaping.
After the clean, you can walk on plain concrete right away and drive on it once it is dry. If we seal pavers, keep cars off for 48 to 72 hours.
