Driveway & Concrete Cleaning in Lexington, SC
Heavy oak and pine canopy over the established streets keeps north-facing walls damp most of the year, so algae comes back faster here than in the open new-build developments. It's the single biggest reason Lexington homes call us for driveway & concrete cleaning, and it's a problem we plan for before the truck leaves the yard.
Why surface clean suits Lexington properties
Around here the housing stock is mostly mixed: older painted brick and hardboard near downtown, large newer vinyl and stone subdivisions toward lake murray. That matters for driveway & concrete cleaning: Concrete is where a rushed job shows forever. A pressure wand leaves stripes you'll see every time you pull in, and on a long lake-house driveway or a motor court there is nowhere to hide them. We use a rotating surface cleaner for an even lift across the whole slab, then hand-detail the edges and expansion joints.
We work Lexington street by street: Downtown Lexington, Golden Hills, Barr Lake, Hope Ferry and the Old Chapin Road corridor are all regular stops, and being based here means no travel charge and short lead times.

Worth knowing
Still not sure? Ask a human. No obligation, no hard sell.
See every questionWhy does my driveway have stripes after a previous cleaning?
That's wand striping. It happens when concrete is cleaned with a straight pressure nozzle instead of a rotating surface cleaner, leaving overlapping arcs of cleaned and uncleaned surface. It can be corrected by re-cleaning the whole slab evenly with a surface cleaner, which is what we use as standard.
Can you remove oil and rust stains from concrete?
Usually, but not always. Fresh oil lifts well with a degreaser pre-treatment. Oil that has been soaking in for years has penetrated the slab and may only lighten rather than disappear. Rust from sprinkler water responds to a specific acid treatment we carry. We'll tell you honestly what we expect to achieve before we start rather than after.
How long will the results last?
It depends on shade, humidity and how much tree cover you have. As a rough guide: house washing holds up 12–18 months, decks and fences around 12 months, and concrete around 12 months. Heavily shaded north-facing walls are always first to regrow, and anything within sight of open water regrows faster than the same surface a mile inland. If you'd rather not track it, our maintenance plan schedules it automatically at a lower rate.
