Driveway stained or dingy — Delft, South Holland

Oil stains, tire marks, rust streaks, and embedded dirt make concrete and paver driveways look years older than they are. Pressure washing ($100–$250 for a standard driveway) restores the original appearance in 1–2 hours. For concrete, professionals use 3,000–4,000 PSI with a surface cleaner attachment (a spinning wand under a shroud) that delivers even results without striping. Oil stains may need a degreaser pre-treatment ($25–$50 extra). For pavers, re-sanding joints and sealing after washing ($0.50–$1.50/sq ft) prevents weed growth and locks the sand in place for 2–3 years.
