Concrete & driveway cleaning in northern Michigan
Concrete is the most durable surface on your property and the biggest magnet for staining. We surface-clean it evenly — no wand stripes — so driveways, walkways and patios come back bright.
Why concrete stains and greens
Flatwork collects everything: tire and oil drips, winter salt, organic tannins from leaves, and a green film of algae on the shaded edges. Cleaning it with a narrow pressure wand leaves zebra stripes and misses the film between passes.
Rotary surface cleaning
We use a rotary surface cleaner that lays down even, overlapping pressure across the whole slab, then pull out oil and organic staining with the right pre-treatment. The result is a consistent, stripe-free finish across driveways, sidewalks, pavers and patios — and we can seal pavers on request.
