Maintaining your home's curb appeal starts from the ground up — literally. Your driveway is one of the first things visitors see, but it's also one of the hardest-working surfaces on your property. From vehicle fluids and tire marks to atmospheric pollution and organic growth, it endures a constant barrage of contaminants every single day.
The Annual Cleaning Rule
If you live in Lakewood, we suggest giving your home a good pressure wash at least once a year. This helps keep algae at bay, prevents stains from becoming permanent, and stops moisture from sneaking into cracks during winter.
But if your place is under big trees, near a busy road, or has a car that leaks oil, you might want to wash it twice a year. Remember, it’s always cheaper to prevent problems than to fix them later!
A messy driveway can collect mold spores that might end up in your home. Getting it cleaned isn’t just for appearances — it’s also about maintaining cleanliness and ensuring things last longer.
5 Signs You Need a Wash ASAP
Visible green or black staining (algae/mildew)
Oil spots that have sat for more than a week
