Driveways, sidewalks, patios and garage aprons cleaned to an even finish - with rust, oil and organic staining treated as the separate problems they actually are.
Concrete is the largest surface on most Florida properties and the one that shows neglect first. Central Florida humidity keeps it damp, shade keeps it green, and the pore structure of an older slab holds far more than a rinse will lift.
We clean with a rotary surface cleaner at controlled pressure so the finish is even across the whole slab, and we treat organic growth chemically so it stays gone rather than returning with the next wet season.

Public paths and front walks - usually the greenest concrete on a property, because they sit in shade.
Poured, stamped and textured surfaces cleaned without stripping the finish.
Cleaned with the gentler method a deck needs - see pool deck cleaning for pavers and enclosures.
Mineral stains, absorbed oil and salt migration are four different problems with four different treatments.
Degreased and cleaned back properly rather than rinsed over.
A pressure washer wand is a narrow high-pressure jet. Held close and swept by hand it cleans, but it also leaves overlap marks. A surface cleaner is a rotating head inside a housing that holds a fixed distance and covers a set width, giving a consistent finish across the whole slab.
Usually. Rust is a mineral stain and needs a specific acid treatment rather than pressure - irrigation rust from well water is the common cause in Central Florida and it responds well. Very old, deep staining may lighten substantially rather than disappear entirely.
It can if it is done with a wand at high pressure, which blows joint sand out and leaves the joints open to weeds and washout. We use controlled pressure, and if the joint sand is already thin we will say so, because cleaning without re-sanding afterwards leaves the surface worse off.
It is often worth it on pavers - sealing locks the joint sand, deepens the colour and slows regrowth. It should only go down on a surface that has been properly cleaned and re-sanded first, so it is a separate visit rather than a same-day extra.
Most driveways benefit from once a year. Heavily shaded concrete under oak canopy often needs it more often; an open slab in full sun can go longer. We will tell you which yours is rather than sell you a schedule you do not need.
Algae needs three things: moisture, shade and a porous surface to hold on to. Central Florida supplies all three for most of the year, which is why a driveway here greens up in a season when the same slab further north would take years.
That is also why the method matters more than the machine. Rinsing removes what is on the surface and leaves the organism in the pore, so it returns quickly. Treating it first kills the growth at the root, and the wash then lifts what is left.
The other half of the job is knowing what you are looking at. Rust is a mineral stain, oil is an absorbed contaminant, efflorescence is salt migrating out of the slab, and organic growth is alive. Four different problems, four different treatments - and none of them are solved by turning the pressure up.
