Driveway and path pressure cleaning in Balgowlah is mostly about undoing the harbour. Salt drift settles on everything down here, and on a brick semi's concrete it reads as a flat grey film that builds so slowly you stop seeing it. The bungalows have the same story, plus the shaded side path that goes green and stays that way.
We bring concrete, pavers and stone back to their poured colour. The grey film lifts. Moss comes off the damp south-side paths, leaf stain off the porch approach, and the oil shadows where the car has sat for years. Everything is soft washed where it needs to be, never blasted at the mortar, and each finished surface is photographed against the checklist. If you want the result to hold through the next round of salt and rain, we can seal it before we go.

Every surface gets cleaned to a documented finish, then shot against the checklist in your condition report. This is what schmick means on concrete, pavers and stone.
Cleaned edge to edge at even pressure. No zebra stripes, no missed lanes. One flat, consistent tone across the whole slab.
Pre-treated where the car parks, then lifted. The dark stain under the sump goes back to matching the concrete around it.
The shaded run where mould sits gets treated and cleared. No grey-green ghost left behind on the return.
Rubber scuffs at the entry and turning point worked out. The apron reads clean, not scarred.
Surface cleaned and the weed and moss lifted out of the joints. Sand topped where the wash pulls it, so nothing sits loose.
Pressure matched to the surface so the finish comes up clean without pitting or etching the stone.
The strip against the garden, the steps, the path to the door. Cleaned in, not skipped. The line where clean meets garden is straight.
Once it is dry and clean, a penetrating seal goes on. Colour holds, water beads, and the next ten years of grey has nothing to grip.
Meet Jake. He runs Schmick jobs in Balgowlah, and the same person comes back each visit — no rotating crew, no call-centre between you and the work.
Booking a one-off? A couple of cleans a year adds up. The Schmick Plan folds the whole exterior into one monthly price and keeps it handled, so you never think about it again.

“Couldn’t fault them”
Had the windows and the driveway done. Turned up right on 8, finished before lunch, and the driveway honestly looks brand new. Same guy came back for the gutters last month and remembered our dog’s name. Couldn’t fault them.
“Should’ve done it years ago”
They sent me photos of what came out of our gutters. Revolting. Glad it’s gone. Lovely guys too.
“Came out after the storm”
We’re on their monthly plan. After that big blow in June they were out two days later and sorted everything without us having to chase. Worth it for that alone.
“Honest, which is rare”
Our sandstone wall had gone black and I’d assumed it was ruined. It’s come up beautifully. There was one damp patch he said needed a stone specialist rather than pretending he could fix it, which I appreciated. On time, tidy, very fair on price.
“Neighbours all asked who did it”
Windows are unreal. Two of the neighbours came over to ask who did them before the van had even left the street. Booking was easy and they text you when they’re on the way.
“10/10”
Got the whole outside done before we hosted Christmas. Mum asked if we’d had the place repainted. Showed up when they said, price was exactly what they quoted.
Yes. We work the semi and bungalow streets around the Stockland end most weeks, Woodland St included. Salt-greyed concrete is exactly the job this service exists for.

That flat grey is salt drift off the harbour, laid down thin over years until the concrete looks like a different colour than it was poured. A clean takes it back, and on the shaded south paths where moss returns fastest, most owners book roughly once a year.
One crew, one visit. Book a single job or hand us the whole exterior.
Inside and out, tracks and screens. The squeegee line you can see from the street.
Render, brick and weatherboard brought back without blasting a thing. Ten years of grey, gone by lunch.
Cleared, flushed and photographed. The before you never wanted to see, and the after you will.
A film of grime is a tax on every panel. We take it off, quarterly, and your yield thanks you.
Salt and lichen lifted, the stone left to breathe. Heritage stone, done properly.
Moss, lichen and mould lifted off tiles and Colorbond. Soft washed, never blasted.
Timber, Colorbond and rendered fences washed back. The street side done first.
