Why Scarborough Driveways & Walkways Need Pressure Washing
Five months of Ontario winter leaves its mark. Road salt creates white calcium stains on concrete and interlock. Sand and gravel from snow plows grind into surface pores. Oil drips from cold-start vehicles stain driveways. Mould and algae grow in shaded areas where spring moisture sits.
Your driveway is the first thing visitors see. A clean driveway and walkway instantly boost curb appeal โ real estate studies show a 5-10% increase in perceived home value from exterior cleaning alone.
Pressure washing removes all of it: salt stains, oil, mould, algae, tire marks, rust, and years of buildup. Your concrete, interlock, or stone looks like it did when it was installed.

Pressure Washing vs. Soft Washing โ When We Use Each
Not every surface can handle 3,000+ PSI. Using too much pressure on the wrong surface causes permanent damage.
| Surface | Method | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Concrete driveway | High pressure | Hard surface, handles 3,000+ PSI safely |
| Interlock / pavers | Medium pressure | Too much pressure displaces joint sand |
| Natural stone | Medium pressure | Some stone is soft โ we test first |
| Vinyl siding | Soft wash | High pressure forces water behind panels |
| Painted wood | Soft wash | High pressure strips paint |
| Stucco | Soft wash | Porous surface โ high pressure causes chips |
| Brick | Medium pressure | Older brick mortar can erode at high PSI |
| Wood deck | Soft wash | High pressure raises grain and damages wood |
| Composite deck | Medium pressure | Manufacturer-safe levels only |
We assess every surface before we start. You'll never have to worry about damage โ we use the right technique for every material on your property.
Common Scarborough Pressure Washing Problems We Fix
- White salt stains on concrete โ calcium chloride from winter de-icing. Pressure washing removes all residue.
- Oil stains on driveways โ common in cold weather when engines leak more. We pre-treat with degreaser.
- Green/black algae on siding โ north-facing walls in shaded areas. Soft wash kills algae at the root.

- Tire marks on concrete โ hot rubber transfer. High-pressure cleaning restores the surface.
- Construction dust โ Eglinton LRT, STC redevelopment. Fine dust settles into every pore.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does pressure washing cost in Scarborough?
A standard driveway starts at $199. Walkways from $99, patios from $149, siding from $299. Bundle packages start at $279 for driveway + walkways. See our pricing cards above for full details.
Is pressure washing safe for interlock?
Yes, when done at the right pressure. We use medium pressure (1,500-2,000 PSI) for interlock and pavers, which is safe for the material and polymeric sand. We can re-sand joints after cleaning if needed.
When is the best time?
Late spring (April-May) after the last frost is ideal. This removes all winter buildup โ salt, sand, oil, grime โ and gives you a clean property for summer. Fall cleaning before winter is a smart second appointment.
Will it damage my plants?
We take precautions to protect landscaping. Plants near driveways and walkways are covered or watered down before and after. Eco-friendly cleaning solutions are used when soft washing near gardens.
How long does pressure washing take?
A standard driveway takes 1-2 hours. Driveway + walkways takes 2-3 hours. A full property package (driveway, walkways, patio, siding) takes 4-6 hours. We'll give you an accurate estimate with your quote.
