Serving Ashdown, AR and nearby towns
Shaded driveways, walkways and pool decks in Arkansas grow black mildew and algae quickly and can become slippery. Pre-treating the growth before washing, and post-treating after, keeps them clean longer than pressure alone.
Spring pollen season in Arkansas coats houses, cars, screens and patios in a yellow-green film, and pollen gives mildew something to feed on. Many homeowners book their wash after pollen season ends so the house stays clean longer.

Driveway Cleaning: frequently asked questions
How much does driveway cleaning cost in Ashdown, AR?
Driveway Cleaning typically costs $150-$400 for a typical two-car driveway, and usually takes 1-2 hours. The exact price depends on the size and condition, and you get it before any work starts. Call (555) 010-0000 for a free quote.
Do you use high pressure for driveway cleaning?
Driveway Cleaning is usually done with pressure wash with a surface cleaner, with the pressure adjusted for each surface. Delicate surfaces nearby, such as siding, windows and plants, are protected or cleaned with lower pressure.
Is driveway cleaning safe for my plants and pets?
We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I schedule driveway cleaning?
Once a year. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
