This Driveway Cleaning article is written for Melbourne owners and managers who need more than a quick blast. Concrete & Paver Cleaning jobs in our city require a surface diagnosis before any cleaning starts.
In Melbourne, everything from growth corridor new-build mortar smear to inner-suburb heritage brick has its own cleaning risk profile. The right method, chemistry and pressure keep the surface safe and the result lasting.
Surface type affects longevity
Porous sandstone and concrete absorb more sealer and usually need reapplication sooner than sealed pavers.
Traffic level matters
Driveways and pedestrian zones wear sealer faster than patios and pool surrounds.
Weather exposure shortens the interval
Sun, salt and freeze-thaw cycles all break down sealer chemistry more quickly.
On the job
- Different surfaces require different reapplication intervals.
- Traffic is the biggest sealer enemy.
- Weather exposure shortens sealer life.
