The problem

The driveway was a concrete slab carrying ingrained dirt and green moss growth across the surface. Moss holds moisture against concrete long after rain, so the pores stay damp and the staining keeps deepening rather than weathering off. In Melbourne's wet months that damp layer also turns slippery underfoot, and once growth is established a garden hose only rinses the surface film while the roots stay in the concrete.

What we did

A cleaning solution was applied first and left to work into the moss and ingrained dirt, so the growth was broken down at the root rather than just knocked off the top. The slab was then cleaned with a surface cleaner attachment, which keeps the spray pattern even across the concrete and avoids the striping and wand marks left by free-handed lancing. The result is a consistent finish over the whole driveway.

  • Inspection of the concrete driveway surface
  • Application of cleaning solution to moss and ingrained dirt
  • Dwell time to break down established growth
  • Pressure cleaning with a surface cleaner attachment for even coverage
  • Final rinse of the slab

Result

  • Moss and ingrained dirt removed from the concrete
  • Even finish across the slab with no wand striping
  • Surface returned to a clean, non-slippery condition
