Driveway & Concrete Back to Clean
Cold, wet Michigan winters and persistent freeze-thaw cycles do a number on flatwork. Moisture works into the surface, algae and organic grime settle in (especially on shaded, north-facing, or damp stretches), and irrigation overspray leaves rust staining on driveways, walkways, and concrete around the yard. What starts as discoloration tends to look worse every season because it compounds on itself rather than washing away on its own.
At Crystal Clear Window Care, we handle all of it. We clean concrete surfaces across the property: patios, sidewalks, pool decks, garage floors, walkways, stamped concrete, and retaining walls. We also clean driveways in poured concrete, brick paver, and asphalt, all priced by square footage.

The Driveway & Concrete Surfaces We Clean
in Oakland County
We match the method to the surface: a dedicated surface cleaner where the material allows, a wand or single tip for steps, retaining walls, and stubborn spots, and gentler pressure or a thorough rinse where the surface is more delicate. Here’s what that looks like across the surfaces we clean.
Driveways
We clean driveways in poured concrete, brick paver, and asphalt. Poured concrete takes a surface cleaner well and comes out with an even, streak-free finish. Brick pavers take more time because of the joints between them. Asphalt is cleaned at appropriate pressure to lift grime without gouging the surface. Driveways are among the most visible flatwork on an Oakland County property, and they’re one of the most common spots for irrigation-overspray staining that calls for rust removal.
Patios and Pool Decks
Patios are cleaned by square footage. Pool decks get careful handling to keep debris out of the pool during cleaning, and many pool-deck surfaces need only low pressure or a rinse rather than high pressure to come clean without risk to the surface or the water.
Sidewalks and Walkways
A surface cleaner handles the flat runs efficiently; a single tip picks up edges, tight corners, and any stubborn spots the cleaner passes over.
Garage Floors
We clean garage floors by square footage with the right solution and pressure for the slab. Oil buildup and ground-in grime lift well with a proper application and dwell time.
Stamped Concrete
Stamped surfaces are handled with lower pressure or a careful rinse where needed so the decorative finish comes clean without any etching or surface damage.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls are vertical, so we clean them with a wand rather than a surface cleaner. Solution is applied, given time to work, and rinsed just like the rest of the flatwork.
What Sets Our Driveway & Concrete Cleaning Apart
Here’s what you can expect when our crew handles your concrete or driveway.
An Even Surface-Cleaner Finish, Not Just a Wand
The difference shows up in the result. A surface cleaner covers flatwork in consistent, overlapping passes so your driveway, patio, or sidewalk comes out evenly clean, with no light stripes or missed patches. Tight spots, steps, and retaining walls get wand or single-tip detail on top of that, so the whole job looks finished rather than cleaned in a hurry.
The Right Amount of Pressure for the Surface
We adjust the approach to the surface, not the other way around. Stamped concrete, pool decks, and other delicate flatwork get low pressure or a rinse so they come clean without etching or damage.
A Plant-Safe Method With a Spot Check First
Before we clean, we pre-rinse the plants and surfaces around your driveway and concrete, and we rinse again after. The solution we use is the same type of chlorine that keeps a swimming pool safe. We rinse and dilute before, during, and after so it’s safe for your plants, your pets, and your family once we’re done. If we ever damage a plant, we’ll replace it.
You Don't Have to Lift a Finger
You don’t have to lift a finger. We move your furniture, protect your valuables, and handle every detail, because you hired us to save you the time, not create more work. On a concrete or driveway job, that means everything around the area gets moved, protected, and put back when we’re done. You don’t prep anything.

How Our Driveway & Concrete Cleaning Works
1
Your Free Estimate
Reach out by phone, text, or the website form. Simple driveway and concrete jobs are quoted over the phone by square footage, and larger or more complex jobs get a measurement from satellite imagery or an in-person look. If we spot rust staining during the conversation, we’ll price that as a separate add-on so there are no surprises. You’ll have a clear estimate, typically within 24 hours.
2
Scheduling and the Heads-Up
Once you approve and place a deposit, we confirm a date and send reminders three days and one day out. On service day you’ll get an on-our-way text so you know exactly when to expect us.
3
Pre-Rinse and Surface Protection
Before anything gets wet, we walk the full area. We check for hazards, note any delicate surfaces that need a lighter touch, clear and protect anything in the work zone, and run water over the surrounding plants and ground cover. That pre-rinse is the first step in keeping the solution diluted and controlled from the moment it goes down.
4
Surface-Cleaner Cleaning and Detail Work
The surface cleaner goes on first, working across the flat runs in overlapping passes. Once the main areas are done, we switch to a wand or single tip for steps, edges, retaining walls, and anything the machine can’t reach cleanly. Throughout, the sodium hypochlorite solution is applied, given time to dwell, and rinsed out thoroughly before we move to the next step.
5
Rust-Stain Treatment (If Present)
If there’s rust staining on your driveway or surrounding flatwork (most often from irrigation overspray), we treat it as a paid add-on. A test spot goes down first, then a dedicated rust product is applied by pump sprayer and allowed to dwell. The result is dramatically improved in the vast majority of cases, and we’re upfront about what to expect before we start.
6
Final Rinse, Walkthrough, and Finish
We rinse and re-rinse to dilute the solution, replace anything we moved, and walk the finished job with you. The job is complete when you’re satisfied with the result.
What Driveway & Concrete Cleaning Costs
in Oakland County
Both services are priced by square footage, with a $200 minimum. The final number depends on the size, surface type, and condition of the area, including whether there’s rust staining, brick paver joints, or heavy buildup that needs extra time.
- Concrete Cleaning: About $200 to $4,000. This covers all concrete flatwork by square footage, including patios, sidewalks, pool decks, garage floors, stamped concrete, walkways, and retaining walls. The upper end reflects large areas, multiple surfaces, and heavier staining or detail work on steps and walls.
- Driveway Cleaning: About $200 to $2,000. Priced by square footage. The upper end reflects larger driveways, brick pavers (the joints take more time), and heavier staining.
- Rust-Stain Removal: Priced as an add-on. Rust staining from irrigation overspray is treated with a dedicated product at an added cost, priced by a baseline call-out plus the affected surface area. Ask about this when you get your estimate.
A few ways to save when you’re booking:

Driveway & Concrete Cleaning FAQs
Can you remove rust stains from my driveway or concrete?
Yes. Rust staining, most often from irrigation overspray onto a driveway or walkway, is treated as a paid add-on using a dedicated rust product applied by pump sprayer, with a test spot always done first. That said, we can’t promise a rust stain will come out completely. Anyone who guarantees 100% isn’t being straight with you. Using the right products, we typically remove 95 to 99% of the staining and leave the surface looking dramatically better.
Can you clean my pool deck without getting debris in the pool?
Yes. Pool decks are cleaned carefully to keep debris out of the pool throughout the job. Many pool-deck surfaces also need only low pressure or a rinse rather than high pressure, which further reduces any risk of debris being pushed toward the water.
Do I need to be home when you clean my concrete or driveway?
You don’t need to be home as long as we have access to a working water spigot and any gate codes. We’ll walk the finished job with you if you’re there when we wrap up.
How long does concrete or driveway cleaning take?
Most jobs are done in a few hours. Large areas, multiple surfaces cleaned in one visit, brick pavers with their joints, and heavy staining can all push the time longer. Very large multi-surface jobs can take a full day. The exact time depends on what we’re working with, and we’ll give you a realistic sense of the schedule when you get your estimate.
