Auckland’s wet climate and abundant trees make driveways prone to accumulating mud, grime, and persistent green stains. Many homeowners try to handle it with a hose and some scrubbing, only to find the dirt refuses to budge.

Most DIY attempts leave the driveway soaked but still dirty, turning the task into a frustrating ordeal. When stubborn stains won’t quit, it’s time to call in the pros.

This article covers the top driveway concrete cleaning services in Auckland that can get rid of tough grime and restore your driveway’s clean look, without the hassle.

1. Pro Waterblasting

Pro Waterblasting’s pretty well-known around Auckland, so we booked a driveway cleaning to see what the fuss was about.

The crew showed up right on time and didn’t just jump into it—they actually checked out the driveway first and explained a few different options. From what we’ve heard from their past clients, that kind of prep seems to be a consistent part of their process.

We liked that they didn’t stick to one method—they used hot water and eco-friendly detergent on the tough spots and surface cleaners for the rest. A past client said this two-step method is what kept their driveway looking better for longer.

They worked fast, didn’t leave a mess, and even explained how the cleansing would help stop stuff from growing back right away. It didn’t feel rushed—it made the whole service feel more thoughtful.

The only downside? The final price was slightly higher than we were initially told. Some of the extras, like hot water and detergent, weren’t mentioned in the original quote. It’s worth asking what’s actually included before they begin. 

Professional, start-to-finish service

“Lorcan of PRO WaterBlasting did an amazing job. Professional service from start to finish including sending us before and after photos upon job completion. As well as deck and stair cleaning (see photos below), he also did a gutter clean, house wash, roof and deck treatments and waterblasting and cleaning of concrete paths … our house looks brand new again!  Highly recommend!’

Excellent service and incredible job

“It’s been over a week, and I’m still walking around our place with the biggest smile on my face. Jason from PRO WaterBlasting did the most fantastic job on our south-facing house, roof and surrounding pathways. Thanks for breaking the curse of the green slime! It was a pleasure dealing with everyone in this company. I’ll be looking forward to using them again.”

2. Elephant House Wash

Monday to Friday, 8:00  AM – 5:00 PM

Elephant House Wash made it to our list for their consistent high ratings across Auckland and reputation for precision work on driveways and concrete surfaces.

Their team is known for going beyond a standard pressure wash. Instead of focusing only on obvious buildup, they take extra care with edges and tight corners, using specialized brushes for a more uniform finish.

From our conversations with clients, we also found that they take preparation and safety seriously. They arrive with the full setup and typically cordon off the area to avoid damaging nearby surfaces—something we don’t always see with every cleaner.

What really sets them apart, though, is their tailored approach. Rather than applying the same method throughout, they adjust water pressure and cleaning products based on the material and condition of each section.

According to one client we spoke to, their crew also follows up with post-wash inspection and is willing to return for spot treatments if needed—something that adds value for those looking for thoroughness.

That said, their methodical process can take longer than average. If you’re after a quick turnaround, this might not be the fastest option.

Professional service and reasonable pricing

“Elephant House Wash did such a great job on cleaning the house, wood work and driveway recently. I thought I was going to have to repaint but they brought it up like new. They were hard working, polite and had all the latest equipment and were very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend them.”

3. Spray & Wash Solutions

After hearing a few property managers recommend Spray & Wash Solutions, one of our team members—who hadn’t cleaned their driveway in over five years—decided to give them a try. 

What stood out right away was how patiently the team assessed the surface and detailed how they’d use a mix of cold and hot water to tackle different levels of grime.

They followed that up with rotary surface cleaners to apply even pressure—no streaks or blown-out spots. Heavier buildup, like algae or oil stains, was pre-treated with a biodegradable solution before washing. It’s a small step that made a big difference.

We later spoke to another customer who mentioned their results held up surprisingly well months after the service, especially in areas that had previously been a magnet for moss.

We also liked that they didn’t overlook edges or corners. The crew used smaller detailing tools for tight spots, which kept everything consistent.

That said, their pricing isn’t the cheapest out there.

Responsive, friendly, and high-quality service

“We have used  Spray and Wash twice in the last month and both our clients and I were very pleased with the responsiveness to quoting and scheduling, the friendly, helpful person doing the work and the quality of the job done. I would recommend them again without hesitation.”

“I had a fantastic experience with this company. Prompt to quote, excellent communication, arrived when they said they would, did a very thorough job and very friendly too. Great service!”

4. Pure Water Blasting 

What we love about Pure Water Blasting is that they work smarter, not harder.

They start by using biodegradable pre-treatment solutions for concrete cleaning before blasting. These eco-friendly cleaners are sprayed on tough stains, such as oil and algae, and are left to break down the grime.

This extra step makes the blasting more effective, so dirt comes off more easily. Plus, it’s better for the environment since the solutions break down naturally without harmful runoff.

We also spoke to previous customers who valued the attention to detail of their team. They do not simply blast the surfaces but take a lot of care around edges and crevices, employing specialized equipment to ensure that nothing is left behind.

That attention to detail is really reflected in their dedication to getting the cleaning right.

Also, we’ve heard they’re good at walking clients through what they’re doing and why, which can be especially helpful if it’s your first time booking this type of service.

One thing to keep in mind is that booking can require some lead time, especially during the busy summer months when demand spikes.

Reliable and professional team

“I’ve used this company a couple of times now, and they never disappoint! They did an amazing job water blasting my backyard pathway pavements and fence—everything looks so fresh and clean!

From the start, they were friendly, professional, and super easy to deal with. I really appreciated that they even helped move a few things leaning against the fence before getting started. It’s those little extra touches that make such a difference.

I’ll definitely keep using them and recommending them to friends. If you’re looking for great service and a team that genuinely cares about the quality of their work, these are the people to call :)”

Excellent communication and service

“A company with not only great communication and service. Water blasting and cleaning our large pergola, skylight, 2 x decks and carport pavers, a job well done! It all looks brand new! Thank you!”

5. NexDo Driveway Cleaning

One thing we appreciated about NexDo Driveway Cleaning was their hassle-free booking system. You can choose your preferred schedule online and often get in as soon as the next day—something that’s not always possible with other companies.

Their driveway cleaning involves the use of commercial-grade rotary surface cleaners, which help spread the water pressure evenly and prevent streaks or damage.

This approach ensures a consistent clean across large areas while tackling moss, algae, and stubborn grime effectively.

In our undercover consultation, the crew explained how they tailor the water pressure and equipment based on the condition of the driveway. This approach is meant to help avoid damage, particularly on older or more fragile concrete.

We also learned from past customers that NexDo doesn’t require long-term contracts, which is convenient if you only want a one-off service or occasional clean-ups without committing.

That said, this flexible, no-contract approach sometimes made follow-up communication less consistent. If you’re someone who prefers regular updates or check-ins, this could feel a bit impersonal.

Thorough and excellent results

“Collin did an amazing job. He phoned to ask if he could arrive early then worked non-stop until he was finished with everything. He did a very thorough clean and I couldn’t be happier.  He was very friendly despite that it was a big job. Thank you, I will recommend Collin anytime.”

• Elizabeth Maritz, Google Review

Convenient booking and reliable standard cleaning

“Thanks Nexdo for this awesome service,  I don’t have to worry about finding and booking a cleaner way in advance. We booked a standard clean.  The Cleaner did a very good job, she was very tho”
