Driveway Cleaning: How to Bring Block Paving Back to Life

A tired, green driveway can look almost new again in a day. Here's how professional driveway cleaning works and how to keep the result.

Why driveways go green and slippery

Shade, damp and North London's mild winters let algae, moss and weeds take hold in the joints. Oil and tyre marks add to it. The surface becomes slippery and weeds slowly push the blocks apart.

How we clean a driveway

  • Weeds and moss raked out of the joints
  • The surface pressure washed with a rotary cleaner for an even finish
  • Pressure set for the surface — block paving, concrete, tarmac or stone
  • Kiln-dried sand brushed back into the joints
  • Optional sealer to keep stains and weeds back

Keeping it clean

Sweep regularly, deal with oil spills quickly and pull weeds while they're small. Most driveways look their best with a professional clean every one to two years.
