If your driveway in Foley has gone from light gray to a blotchy green-black, that is not just dirt. The same Gulf Coast humidity that keeps Baldwin County green feeds algae and mildew right into the pores of the concrete, and over a couple of seasons it spreads into the dark, slick film most homeowners only notice when a guest comments on it.
A garden hose will not touch it. Concrete is porous, so the growth and the grime sit below the surface where a trigger nozzle cannot reach. A flat surface cleaner spins hot, even pressure across the whole slab at once, lifting the buildup out of the pores and leaving one consistent finish instead of the zebra stripes a handheld wand leaves behind.
Driveway looking gray and streaky? We will give you a flat number to make it bright again.
What Surface Cleaning Removes
Most of what makes a south Baldwin driveway look old is organic and lives on the surface, which means it comes off cleanly when it is treated the right way.
- Algae, mildew, and the black Gloeocapsa film that thrives in coastal humidity.
- Tire marks and light oil shadows near the garage and parking pad.
- Red mud and clay tracked in from yard work and new construction.
- Irrigation rust runs and the orange staining well water leaves on concrete.
Rust and deep oil are their own jobs and need a dedicated treatment, not just pressure. We carry the right products for both, so we can tell you up front which stains will vanish and which will simply lighten.

What It Costs
Driveway cleaning is priced by square footage and how much buildup has set in, and we quote the whole slab up front with no surprise add-ons once the trailer is in your driveway.
Bundle and save
Most homeowners add the front walk, the pool deck, or a house wash on the same visit, which costs less than booking each separately. We will show you the standalone price and the bundle so you can choose.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will pressure washing damage my concrete?
No, when it is done right. A flat surface cleaner spreads the pressure evenly instead of concentrating it in one spot, so it lifts the grime without etching the concrete the way a narrow wand tip held too close can.
Can you get rid of rust stains from my irrigation?
Usually yes. Irrigation and well-water rust needs a dedicated rust treatment, not just pressure. We carry it, and we will tell you up front whether a stain will disappear completely or only lighten.
How long until the algae comes back?
On the Gulf Coast a cleaned driveway typically stays bright for about a year. Homes under heavy shade or near constant irrigation may want a yearly touch-up to stay ahead of it.
Do I need to be home?
No. As long as we have access to the driveway and an outdoor water spigot, you do not need to be there. We will send before and after photos when we finish.
