Driveway and concrete cleaning in Waco and Central Texas

Concrete is the one surface that can take real pressure. We use a surface cleaner for even, stripe-free results on driveways, sidewalks, patios, and pool decks, then post-treat to slow regrowth.

Concrete driveway in Temple, Texas after pressure washing by Centex Softwash

How is a driveway pressure washed?

Problem spots are pre-treated, then flat concrete is cleaned with a rotary surface cleaner that keeps pressure even and avoids stripes. Edges and steps are detailed by hand and a post-treatment helps slow regrowth. Most dirt and algae lift fully; deep oil stains may lighten rather than disappear.

What we remove

Problems we solve

Dark, dingy concrete

Dirt and organic growth work into the pores of concrete and turn it gray-black, especially in shaded areas.

Red clay and runoff

Rain runoff from beds and yards leaves orange-red staining along edges and expansion joints.

Oil and tire marks

Vehicle drips and hot-tire marks build up where cars park. Many fade substantially, though deep oil stains may not fully lift.

Slippery pool decks and walks

Algae on shaded walkways and pool surrounds becomes a slip hazard when wet.

Our method

Surface cleaner first, wand second

A rotary surface cleaner holds the pressure at a consistent distance from the concrete, which avoids the zebra striping you get from a handheld wand. Edges and corners are detailed by hand, and a post-treatment helps slow algae coming back.

Our process

How a concrete cleaning visit works

  1. Step 1

    Pre-treat

    Algae, organic staining, and heavy spots are pre-treated before pressure is applied.

  2. Step 2

    Surface clean

    Flat areas are cleaned with a rotary surface cleaner for an even finish.

  3. Step 3

    Detail edges

    Steps, edges, and joints are cleaned by hand.

  4. Step 4

    Rinse and post-treat

    Debris is rinsed off and a post-treatment is applied to help the result last longer.

Concrete cleaning pricing

Starting at $325

for a standard driveway

Price depends mostly on square footage and staining. Adding sidewalks, patios, or a back porch to a driveway cleaning is usually inexpensive.

How often to schedule concrete cleaning

Most driveways and walks are due every one to two years. Shaded and north-facing concrete tends to darken faster.

"I can't thank Mr. Rossow at Centex soft wash enough for soft washing and power washing my home and drive way. I thought I needed to repaint my fascia, but it just needed a wash. And my driveway looks like the day it was poured. He was promptly on time and very quick with his work and worked around my schedule. I will be calling him next year!"

FAQ

Concrete Cleaning questions

How much does driveway cleaning cost in Waco?

Driveway cleaning starts at $325 for a standard driveway. Larger driveways, added walks or patios, and heavy staining affect the price.

Can you remove oil stains?

Most oil and tire marks fade significantly. Deep oil that has soaked into the concrete for years may lighten but not disappear entirely. We will set expectations before we start.

Will pressure washing damage my concrete?

Sound concrete handles the pressure well, and using a surface cleaner keeps it even. Very old, spalling, or already-damaged concrete should be discussed during the estimate.

Do you seal concrete?

Ask us during your estimate. Sealing depends on the surface and the product, and we will tell you if it makes sense for your concrete.
