Driveway cleaning in Clermont, FL

A Clermont driveway goes dark in patches long before it looks dirty everywhere. The shaded strip beside the house, the section under the oak and the low end where yard runoff collects grow black mildew and green algae first. Sprinklers that hit the concrete leave orange rust stains. Then the HOA letter shows up.

Golden Lawn Care cleans driveways, sidewalks and entry walks across Clermont. We remove the growth with a rotary surface cleaner that washes the concrete evenly, treat the stained edges and rinse the area so the slab dries clean and uniform.

Driveway cleaning under Clermont's water shortage order

Clermont sits inside the St. Johns River Water Management District, and while the St. Johns River Water Management District's Phase III water shortage order (order 2026-017) is in effect, pressure or soft washing driveways, sidewalks and other hard surfaces is allowed for necessary maintenance: removing mold, mildew and other potentially hazardous material that can't be cleared with a broom or blower, keeping up a warranty, or cleaning a surface before painting or sealing. The order says plainly that meeting HOA or other appearance standards does not count as necessary maintenance. Read it yourself in the district's order.

That covers most Clermont driveway jobs: mildew and algae on concrete are exactly what the order lets you remove, and cleaning before a sealer or coating counts as prep. We book the work as what it is, mildew and algae removal or surface prep, and we will tell you up front if a request falls outside the order.

How we clean a Clermont driveway

1. Clear and protect: move what's on the drive, pre-wet the lawn and beds along the edges.
2. Pre-treat: apply a cleaner to heavy mildew and algae so it releases from the concrete.
3. Surface clean: run a rotary surface cleaner across the slab for an even finish, without the zebra stripes a hand wand leaves.
4. Edges and joints: detail the expansion joints, curb line and edges by hand.
5. Post-treat: apply a treatment to slow mildew coming back.
6. Rinse: rinse the slab, walks, lawn edges and plants.

Rust and oil stains need their own treatments. Rust from irrigation water often lightens a lot with the right cleaner; old oil spots may fade but rarely disappear completely. We tell you what to expect before we start.

Clermont driveways, slopes and sprinkler stains

Clermont has more hills than almost anywhere in Florida, and plenty of driveways run steeply down to the street. On those slopes, runoff from the yard carries sand and organic stains down the center, and wash water moves fast. We plan where the water goes, keep it away from beds and rinse the gutter line when we finish.

If orange stains keep coming back along the edge of the driveway, the cause is usually a sprinkler head spraying the concrete with iron-rich water. Re-aiming or adjusting that head stops the stains from returning after the cleaning.

Driveway cleaning prices in Clermont

The price depends on the size of the driveway and walks, how heavy the growth and staining are and whether you want a sealer afterward. Send your address and choose "Driveway" in the form, or call for today's price. Bundling the driveway with the pool deck or pavers in one visit is usually the better value.
