Driveways, walks and patios
Pressure Washing
Red clay, mildew, pine tannin and tire marks lifted off Marietta driveways, walks and patios by Ray's crew of veterans and National Guard members.
Red clay, pine tannin and tire marks: what Georgia concrete collects
Concrete around Marietta takes a beating that a drier climate never gives it. Red clay tracks onto the apron and dries into a rust-colored film. Pine straw and needles sit damp against the edges and leave brown tannin stains behind. In the shade beside the garage, mildew starts as a gray freckle and spreads into a dark mat. Then there are the tire marks, which pile up right where the car sits every night.
None of that means the concrete is failing. It is a film sitting on the surface, and it builds so slowly that most homeowners stop seeing it until a neighbor's driveway gets washed and the contrast jumps out. Pressure washing takes that film off so the slab reads as one even color again.
Driveways, front walks, patios and the apron by the street each collect grime in their own way. Tell Ray what you see when you call (678) 203-2912, and the quote starts from the slab you actually have.

On time, in straight overlapping passes, with the beds left alone
Ray's first published value is punctuality: “Once you've scheduled your pressure washing service, you can expect us to arrive on time. We make it our mission to stick to our agreed upon schedule.” For a driveway job that means the car is out of the way once, and the morning goes the way you planned it.
On the concrete itself, an even result comes from straight, overlapping passes and a full rinse, because one lazy arc leaves a stripe that shows the moment the slab dries. Ray's published promise on equipment and effort is plain: “We have all the tools and equipment to get your job done right. And we won't cut any corners.”
Around the edges, his philosophy is written down: “this extreme care and respect will extend to your property and surroundings.” In a Marietta yard that means the pine straw beds, the shrubs along the walk and the grass line at the slab's edge. The crew of veterans and National Guard members carries $1 million in liability insurance while they work.
How long a clean driveway stays clean under pines and shade
The honest answer depends on the lot. A slab in full sun with some wind dries fast and stays clean longest. One tucked under pines, with shade and damp, goes green again first, usually along the north edge and under the drip line of the trees.
Washing again when you first see gray freckling is easier than waiting for a dark mat, and sweeping needles off the edges between washes slows the return. If you're getting a house ready to list or to rent, wash it just before the photos, so the driveway in the listing is the one a visitor will drive up.
If the finished job isn't what you expected, the guarantee is short: you will receive 100% of your money back. No questions asked. Call (678) 203-2912 and ask Ray about your slab.

The clean line
Grime on one side of the line, clean concrete on the other
Before the wash
- A rust-colored clay film along the apron and curb edge
- Dark mildew in the shade beside the garage and under the trees
- Brown pine-tannin stains where needles sit damp on the slab
- Tire marks in the spot where the car is parked every night
After the wash
- One even color from the garage door to the street, with no stripe lines where passes meet
- A crisp edge against the pine straw, with the beds and shrubs still in place
- The walk and the patio matching the drive instead of reading as three different slabs
- A fair warning: deep oil stains can leave a shadow on any slab, so describe them when you call
