Maintaining the exterior of your property is just as essential as keeping the inside clean and organised. Your driveway and patio are constantly exposed to the elements, foot traffic, and spills, making them prone to dirt, mould, and grime. That’s where pressure cleaning comes in—a fast and effective way to refresh these surfaces and extend their lifespan.
So, how often should you be pressure cleaning your driveway and patio? And why is it so important to do it regularly?
At Adam’s Building Group, we provide expert residential and commercial services in Brisbane, specialising in pressure washing, professional painting, and a wide range of property maintenance solutions. We’re here to help you keep your outdoor areas looking spotless, safe, and inviting.
Why Pressure Cleaning Matters for Driveways and Patios
Your driveway and patio are more than just functional spaces—they’re key features that contribute to the street appeal and value of your property. Regular pressure cleaning offers several benefits, including:
- Removing dirt, mould, algae, moss, and oil stains
- Preventing long-term discolouration and surface damage
- Enhancing safety by eliminating slippery areas
- Improving the overall look and cleanliness of your home or commercial premises
If you want to take your property’s kerb appeal to the next level, consider pairing pressure washing with our Exterior Pressure Cleaning Services for a complete transformation.
How Often Should You Pressure Clean?
Driveways:
- Residential homes: Every 6–12 months
- High-traffic areas or properties near trees: Every 3–6 months
- Oil or chemical spills: As soon as they occur
Patios:
- Average use: Every 6–12 months
- Outdoor entertaining areas: Every 3–6 months
- Visible moss or mildew: Clean immediately to avoid slips
In Brisbane’s humid climate, mould and algae can accumulate quickly—especially during the wet season. Regular pressure washing helps prevent the build-up of grime and reduces the risk of surface damage.

Factors That Influence Cleaning Frequency
Not all driveways and patios are the same. The ideal cleaning schedule depends on a few key factors:
- Location: Homes near trees or the coast may require more frequent cleaning due to debris and salt air
- Surface material: Concrete, pavers, and tiled surfaces react differently to grime and weather
- Foot and vehicle traffic: More usage = more dirt
- Weather: Brisbane’s tropical conditions can promote mould and moss growth
With the right cleaning schedule, you can prolong the life of your hard surfaces and prevent the need for costly repairs down the track.
DIY or Hire a Professional?
It’s tempting to hire a pressure washer and do the job yourself. While this may work in the short term, improper use can lead to damage—especially to delicate pavers or grouted tiles.
