Whether it’s a residential driveway or a commercial outdoor area, we’ll make your aggregate concrete look fresh and inviting again.
Exposed aggregate is essentially concrete with the top layer worn away to expose embedded stones. Its textured surface can trap dirt, mold, and other contaminants in the tiny crevices between the pebbles. In Perth’s damp winter months, you might notice black mildew or green algae developing on shaded aggregate patios and driveways, creating a slippery hazard. Meanwhile, during dry summers, dust and vehicle tire residues can coat the surface. Regular aggregate cleaning is necessary not only for appearance but also for safety and maintenance reasons. By pressure washing your exposed aggregate periodically, you:

Q: How often should I have my exposed aggregate cleaned?
A: It depends on the conditions, but generally once a year is a good rule of thumb for Perth homes. You may want to schedule cleaning before winter rains (to remove summer grime and prevent slippery algae growth) or in spring after the wet season (to wash away mildew and dirt). High-traffic driveways or commercial areas might benefit from more frequent cleaning (e.g. every 6 months). Regular cleaning will keep the surface safe and looking its best year-round.
Q: Will pressure washing damage the aggregate or loosen the stones?
A: Not when done by professionals like us. We adjust the pressure and use proper surface cleaning equipment to avoid damaging the concrete matrix or dislodging the pebbles. Our technique ensures a deep clean without harm. DIY attempts with a too-powerful washer or a concentrated nozzle can gouge concrete or pop out aggregate, which is why it’s important to use a skilled service. We take care to preserve the integrity of your surface.
Q: Can you remove oil stains and tire marks from my driveway?
A: Yes, we have specialized degreasers and hot-water pressure cleaning options to tackle oil stains and tire marks on exposed aggregate driveways. While very old or deeply set oil stains may leave a slight shadow, our treatment significantly lightens or eliminates most stains. Tire scuff marks and general grime are usually washed away completely during our cleaning process.
Q: Is it worth sealing exposed aggregate after cleaning?
A: We do recommend sealing exposed aggregate after it’s been cleaned. Sealing will protect the freshly cleaned surface from stains, make it less porous (so algae and dirt won’t cling as easily), and often enhance the color of the aggregate. Perth Blast n Seal offers exposed aggregate sealing services that pair perfectly with our cleaning – many clients choose to do both for maximum benefit. However, the choice is yours; even on its own, a professional clean will greatly improve the appearance of your aggregate.
