Driveway cleaningin Tamarac, FL.

Pure Clean Pressure Washing does driveway pressure washing in Tamarac from its base in Coral Springs. Owner Michael Blockhus has run it since January 2024: he quotes every job free, does the work himself and is fully insured. In Tamarac the concrete is usually a villa drive, a walk and a patio, and after a dust or smoke event the lanai floor too.

Tamarac specifics

Villa drives, walks and lanai floors

Most Tamarac drives are short, but a lot of them are original concrete from the 1970s and 1980s, and older concrete holds growth deeper. The surface cleaner runs at a pressure the old surface can take, with a pre-treatment and a post-treatment doing much of the work. Mainlands drives date from 1967 to 1977 and Kings Point's from 1983 on.

Rust bands along the edge come from irrigation water with iron in it, not the lime-softened tap water. They need a rust remover, which is part of the job.

After the Atlantic Fire and during the Woodlands site work, a lot of lanai floors and patios picked up a grey film. It comes off with the same equipment in the same visit. Screen walls are protected from the spray while the floor is done.

The method

How the driveway gets cleaned

The surface cleaner is a spinning bar under a hood. It keeps the nozzles a fixed height off the concrete so every square foot gets the same pressure and the same dwell. A bare wand held by hand does not do that, which is why wand-only jobs come out with arcs and zebra stripes you can see from the street.

Before the machine touches the concrete the growth gets a pre-treatment and a few minutes to release. Oil gets a degreaser. Rust gets its own remover. After the wash the surface gets a post-treatment that kills what is left in the pores, which is the difference between a driveway that looks good for a month and one that looks good for a year.

The full walkthrough, with every question, is on the driveway cleaning guide.

What’s included

  • The full driveway, the apron and the strip to the street
  • The walkway to the front door where it joins the drive
  • Pre-treatment on algae and mildew before the wash
  • Degreaser on oil drips and tire marks
  • Rust remover on sprinkler staining along the edges
  • Post-treatment so the growth is slower to return
  • Rinse of the surface and the plants either side

Not this job

  • Paver re-sanding and sealing (that is its own job, see paver sealing)
  • Removing paint, epoxy or curing-compound haze

Worth knowing

What comes up with driveway pressure washing in Tamarac?

Two-car drives in the Mainlands

The Mainlands' ranch homes were built with two-car garages between 1967 and 1977, and many drives are still the original concrete. After fifty-plus rainy seasons the top has worn, aggregate shows through, and the growth roots deep in the open surface. A two-car width also means two sets of oil spots where the cars have always parked.

Those drives get a pressure the old concrete can take, with the pre-treatment loosening the growth and the post-treatment killing what is left in the pores. Oil and rust are treated with their own products. What a clean cannot do is restore worn surface, and Michael says so before starting. The apron and the sidewalk out front are done in the same visit if you want them.

Lanai floors after smoke and dust

Screened lanai floors collect whatever blows through the screen. Around The Woodlands that is construction dust from the grading, and after the June 2026 Atlantic Fire it was ash and soot as well. On a damp floor it dries into a grey film that a broom only spreads. Ground-floor villas and ranch homes with a screened lanai get the most of it.

The floor is cleaned with the surface cleaner or a wand at low pressure, the screen protected from spray, and the rinse steered to the drain or the lawn. If the screen walls need cleaning too, that is a soft wash and can go in the same visit. Furniture and planters are moved back once the floor is dry.

Villa drives and who owns them

In Kings Point and other villa communities, some associations maintain the drives along with the buildings, and some leave them to the owner. A short villa drive and walk is a quick job, often a couple of hours with the patio included. Kings Point's villas were built between 1983 and 2001, so many drives there are thirty to forty years old. Short drives mean more of the job is edges and less is open field.

Check your documents first. If the drive is the association's, Michael can quote them. If it is yours, it is quoted with the walk and patio as one job, and your neighbor's drive is kept clear of spray. Rust from irrigation and oil from the car are treated in the same visit.

Neighborhoods

Where does driveway pressure washing matter most in Tamarac?

From public housing records and the Census, not from past jobs.

  • The Mainlands

    Ranch homes from 1967 to 1977 with two-car drives, many still the original pour.

  • Kings Point

    Short villa drives and walks from 1983 to 2001, sometimes maintained by the association.

  • The Woodlands

    Drives and lanai floors near the old course, filmed by grading dust.

  • Sabal Palm Village

    Built in 1974. Old concrete that gets a gentle pass and more chemistry.

  • Lakes of Carriage Hills

    520 homes. Where a drive is still the original concrete, it gets the gentler pass.

What sets the price

How is driveway pressure washing quoted in Tamarac?

No flat rate, no price list. For driveway pressure washing in Tamarac, four things move the one all-in number: concrete age, what is included, film type and rust and oil.

Send photos to (954) 507-7249 for a free estimate, or ask Michael to look at it in person first.

  • Concrete age

    Fifty-year-old concrete takes a gentler pass and more chemistry than a newer slab.

  • What is included

    Drive, walk, patio and lanai floor are the same equipment, quoted together.

  • Film type

    Ash, soot or construction dust on top of algae can need extra dwell and rinsing.

  • Rust and oil

    Irrigation rust and old oil each get their own product and are part of the quote.

Before you book

What to sort out first

  1. 01

    Check whether your drive is yours or the association's, especially in Kings Point.

  2. 02

    Move cars and anything on the lanai floor the night before, and tell Michael where the truck can park.

  3. 03

    Keep the irrigation off the morning of the clean so the rust remover works on a dry edge.

Questions

Driveway cleaning in Tamarac, answered

Can you clean my Tamarac villa driveway and patio in one visit?

Yes. Drive, walk, patio and lanai floor are all the same equipment and are quoted together.

Is my association responsible for my driveway?

Sometimes. Check your documents. Michael quotes whatever is yours to book, and nothing that is not. In the Mainlands, with nearly twenty associations, the answer varies by village.

Can you get fire ash off my lanai floor without soaking the screens?

Yes. The floor is done at low pressure with the spray aimed down and away from the screen walls, and the rinse steered to the drain or the lawn. Wait until the fire is out so the floor is not coated again the next day.

My Mainlands drive is from the 1970s. Will it come clean?

Clean and even, yes. Worn surface and exposed aggregate stay, and very old oil may leave a shadow. What to expect is explained before any water goes down.

Will the spray reach my neighbor's car in a villa row?

No. The surface cleaner keeps the spray under its hood, and the edges near a neighbor's drive are done by hand with the wand held low.
