Your driveway and walkways in Melbourne accumulate layers of dirt, algae, and mildew faster than you expect, especially when afternoon rain and humidity create the right conditions for organic growth. What starts as a light film becomes a thick coating that dulls the color of your concrete and makes the entire property look older than it is. Attention To Detail of the Space Coast uses commercial-grade pressure washing equipment to lift away buildup and restore the original appearance of your hard exterior surfaces.

Pressure washing removes contaminants that cold rinsing and scrubbing cannot reach, including algae anchored into porous concrete and staining from tannins, rust, or oil. The equipment is calibrated for each surface type to prevent etching or damage while delivering enough force to break up embedded material. This process works on driveways, sidewalks, patios, and other concrete-heavy surfaces common throughout Melbourne neighborhoods.

If your property looks darker or greener than it did a year ago, contact us to schedule pressure washing in Melbourne.

What Happens When Buildup Stays Too Long

When you schedule pressure washing in Melbourne, the equipment is matched to the surface being cleaned and the type of staining present. Concrete driveways receive higher pressure than pavers or stamped surfaces, and the technician adjusts flow rate and nozzle distance to avoid gouging or stripping. The water works by forcing dirt, algae, and mildew out of pores and off the surface rather than simply pushing it around.

After the wash is complete, you will see brighter concrete with restored contrast between light and dark areas. Stains that blended into the surface become visible again as discoloration, or they disappear entirely depending on how deep they penetrated. The surface dries cleaner and stays cleaner longer because the organic matter that held moisture and attracted more dirt is no longer present.

Pressure washing also helps extend the lifespan of exterior surfaces by removing contaminants that trap moisture and accelerate cracking or spalling. It does not repair structural damage or fill cracks, but it does reduce the conditions that make those problems worse. Regular cleaning prevents the need for more invasive restoration work later and keeps your property looking maintained without requiring replacement.

You probably have a question or two

Homeowners in Melbourne often want to know how pressure washing works on their specific surfaces, how long results last, and what the service includes before they book.

What surfaces can you pressure wash?
We pressure wash driveways, sidewalks, patios, pool decks, and other hard exterior surfaces made of concrete, brick, or stone. Softer materials like wood or painted siding require a different approach and are not suitable for high-pressure cleaning.
How long does pressure washing take?
Most residential driveways and walkways in Melbourne take between one and three hours depending on size and the level of buildup. Properties with heavy algae growth or oil staining may require additional time for pre-treatment and rinsing.
How often should I pressure wash my driveway?
You should pressure wash your driveway once or twice a year in Florida due to the humidity and organic growth common in this climate. Homes with more shade or near wooded areas may benefit from more frequent cleaning.
Will pressure washing damage my concrete?
When done correctly with calibrated equipment, pressure washing will not damage concrete. We adjust pressure settings and nozzle distance based on the surface type and condition to avoid etching or stripping.
What does pressure washing remove?
Pressure washing removes dirt, algae, mildew, mold, tannin stains, light oil stains, and surface discoloration. It does not remove deep oil penetration, rust embedded in the concrete, or paint without additional treatment.

If your driveway or patio looks darker than it used to or feels slippery when wet, pressure washing can restore both appearance and traction.
