Concrete, pavers and stone pressure-cleaned back to an even tone, including the oil shadow, the mould line and the tyre marks. Most driveways take a morning.
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.
See the PlanThe Schmick Guarantee. If any part of a job doesn’t meet the Schmick Standard, tell us and we come back and put it right. No charge, no argument.
A driveway collects about ten years of weather before anyone thinks to clean it: grey creeping in from the edges, a black mould line along the shaded side, an oil shadow where the car parks. Because it builds slowly, most people only notice when a neighbour has theirs done and the difference is sitting right there across the fence.
We pressure clean concrete, pavers, tile and stone across the North Shore and the Eastern Suburbs, from Mosman and Cremorne through to Vaucluse and Bronte. The wash is done edge to edge at even pressure so the whole surface comes back to one consistent tone, and we can seal it afterwards to keep the finish longer.
Most driveways are done in a morning, photographed before and after for your condition report.
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.

Your operator arrives with the gear and their own water plan. Cars moved, garden beds covered, surface pre-treated where it needs it. Then the wash starts.
The whole area comes up to one even tone. If you booked the seal, it goes on once dry. Then the condition report lands on your phone, shot against the checklist.
“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.
From $180, with most driveways landing between $180 and $420 depending on the area. Heavy oil or mould adds a little for the pre-treatment, and sealing is a separate add-on. The instant quote gives you the flat number in about a minute.
Once a year suits most Sydney streets. Shaded or coastal driveways pick up mould faster, so twice a year is better there, and a seal after cleaning stretches the gap between cleans considerably.
No, because the pressure is matched to the surface: concrete takes a firmer wash while stone and tile get a gentler one, so nothing pits or etches. Pavers get their joints cleared and the sand topped back up afterwards.
Yes. The oil shadow gets pre-treated and lifted so it goes back to matching the slab around it. The black mould line in the shade is treated and cleared, not just blasted grey. Both are on the Schmick Standard checklist, so both are in the condition report.
Most driveways are done in a morning. Sealing adds drying time, so if you book the seal we clean early and seal once it is dry. The seal holds the colour and beads the water, which means the next lot of grey has far less to grip.
Yes. Mosman, Cremorne and the Lower North Shore through to Vaucluse, Bronte, Double Bay and Darling Point. The same operator returns to your street each time. Cluster it with a neighbour and the Street Rate brings both prices down.
