A client’s light-colored resin-bound driveway looked dull and discolored due to dirt, debris, and organic buildup. Surrounding vegetation contributed to algae growth, making the surface slippery and unsafe.
The Challenge
Resin-bound driveways stay durable but collect dirt and debris over time. Light-colored surfaces show grime faster, and this driveway, laid over a non-permeable base, required extra rinsing to clear contaminants. Without proper cleaning, algae and moss thrive, especially in shaded or damp areas.
Our Cleaning Approach
To restore the driveway’s original brightness, we followed a structured process:
- Inspection: We identified stains, organic growth, and dirt buildup.
- Chemical Treatment: A resin-safe cleaner broke down grime, algae, and stains.
- Pressure Washing & Rinsing: Using a specialist high-pressure system, we lifted dirt from the surface. The non-permeable base required extra rinsing to remove all residues.
- Mild Weed Killer Application: A gentle, eco-friendly weed killer helped deter future algae growth while protecting nearby plants.
- Final Inspection & Protection Advice: The surface was examined for a spotless finish, and we provided maintenance tips for long-term cleanliness.
Results & Client Feedback
The driveway’s bright finish returned, with no remaining dirt or algae. The weed treatment prevented regrowth, preserving both the driveway and surrounding greenery. The client loved the renewed look and appreciated the targeted approach.
