A stained, streaked driveway is the first thing people notice about your home. If you are looking for professional driveway cleaning in Clinton Township, Sterling Heights, or anywhere in Macomb County, here is exactly what to expect — from pricing to the stains we can (and cannot) remove.

Most residential driveway and concrete cleaning in our area runs $150 to $350, depending on size and condition:
- Standard 2-car driveway: $150–$225

The Michigan stains we remove
Southeast Michigan driveways take a beating. Our surface cleaners and targeted treatments handle:
- Road salt and winter grime — the white, crusty residue left after Michigan winters
- Oil and transmission stains — pretreated and lifted, not just rinsed over
- Rust stains — from fertilizer, patio furniture, and metal
- Tire marks and embedded dirt
- Organic growth — the green and black algae that build up on shaded, north-facing concrete
How professional driveway cleaning works
Surface cleaning, not just a wand
A pressure wand alone leaves stripes and takes forever. We use a rotary surface cleaner that delivers even, consistent results across the whole slab — no zebra striping, no missed spots.
Pre-treatment for tough stains
Oil, rust, and heavy organic staining get a targeted pre-treatment before we clean, so they actually lift instead of smearing. This is the step most DIY jobs skip.
Safe pressure for your surface
Concrete, brick pavers, and stamped or decorative concrete each need different handling. For brick pavers we clean without blasting out the joint sand, and we offer re-sanding and sealing to finish the job.
How often should you clean your driveway?
For most Macomb County homes, once a year keeps concrete looking new — ideally in spring, to clear away winter salt and grime before it sets in. Homes under heavy tree cover or near busy roads may benefit from a second cleaning in fall.
Protect your investment
A clean driveway is not just about looks. Salt, oil, and organic growth slowly break down concrete and can shorten its lifespan. Regular cleaning removes those damaging agents and keeps your driveway — and your curb appeal — in top shape.
