Concrete Cleaning
in Dacula, GA
Sidewalks, patios, pool decks, garage floors, and every other concrete surface - cleaned down to the original color and free of mold, algae, and red clay stains.
Concrete is everywhere around your home. Your sidewalks, patio, pool deck, garage floor, front porch, back steps - it all adds up to a lot of square footage. And all of it is exposed to the weather year-round. Over time, that once-light-gray concrete turns dark, gets slippery, and starts to look like nobody's taking care of the place. The thing is, it's not that nobody cares. It's just that concrete gets dirty slowly enough that you don't notice until it's really bad.
At Kidd's ProWash, we've spent the last five years cleaning concrete across Dacula, Lawrenceville, Buford, Suwanee, and all of Gwinnett County. We know what Georgia throws at outdoor surfaces - the humidity, the pollen, the red clay, the afternoon storms that roll through from May to September - and we know how to undo all of it. Whether it's a small front walkway or a 2,000-square-foot pool deck, we treat every job the same way: with the right equipment, the right cleaning products, and the kind of attention to detail that gets results.
What Is Professional Concrete Cleaning?
There's a big difference between spraying a garden hose at your patio and getting a professional concrete cleaning done. A garden hose moves loose dirt around. A professional surface cleaning machine actually removes stains, biological growth, and years of buildup from inside the pores of the concrete.
Concrete is a porous material. If you could zoom in on it, you'd see millions of tiny holes and channels throughout the surface. Those pores absorb everything - water, dirt, mold spores, oil, red clay, tree sap, you name it. Once those contaminants are down inside the pores, they're locked in. A pressure washer with a standard wand can push some of that out, but it leaves behind stripe marks and uneven results. That's why we use a surface cleaner, which is a flat, round machine with spinning nozzles underneath. It delivers even, consistent cleaning across the entire surface and leaves no stripes.
Before we bring out the surface cleaner, we pre-treat the concrete with a cleaning solution that breaks down mold, mildew, algae, and other organic growth. For specific problems like oil stains or rust, we apply targeted treatments that are made to lift those stains without damaging the concrete underneath.
Why Concrete in Gwinnett County Gets So Dirty
If you live anywhere from Dacula to Duluth, from Buford to Snellville, you already know that outdoor surfaces don't stay clean for long around here. There are a few reasons for that.
Georgia Humidity
From about April through October, the air stays thick and muggy. That moisture sits on your concrete surfaces, especially in shaded areas, and creates a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and algae.
Red Clay Staining
Georgia red clay is iron-rich soil that binds to concrete and leaves behind a rusty orange stain that rain won't wash away. It takes specific cleaning chemistry and the right technique to pull those iron-based stains out.
Pollen Season
Every spring, a thick coat of yellow-green pollen blankets everything outdoors. A lot of it settles into the textured surface of concrete and packs into the pores over time, darkening the surface year after year.
Summer Storms & Tree Debris
Heavy rains splash mud, clay, and organic debris onto concrete. Leaves, pine needles, acorns, and sap fall onto concrete year-round and leave behind dark tannin stains that soak into the pores.
Our Concrete Cleaning Process
Whether we're cleaning a small front walkway in Grayson or a massive pool deck in Suwanee, we follow the same steps every time:
Walk the Area & Plan the Job
We check the condition of the concrete, look for cracks or damaged areas, and identify the types of stains we're dealing with. We also note where landscaping, furniture, or delicate features are so we can protect them during the cleaning.
Pre-Treat the Surface
We apply our cleaning solution across the entire area. This breaks down mold, mildew, and algae at the root level so it doesn't just grow right back. For red clay stains, we use a treatment that loosens the iron particles from the concrete pores. For oil spots, we use a separate degreaser.
Surface Clean
Our surface cleaning machine moves across the concrete, removing every layer of buildup with even, controlled pressure. It's powerful enough to clean deep into the pores but won't etch or damage the surface. The difference shows up immediately - you can see the clean concrete appear behind the machine as it moves.
Detail Edges & Corners
The surface cleaner handles most of the area, but edges along walls, landscaping borders, expansion joints, and tight corners get finished with a pressure wand for a complete result.
Rinse & Inspect
We rinse the entire area clean and do a careful walk-through. If any spots need extra attention, we hit them again right then and there.
Once the concrete is clean, many homeowners ask about sealing. A concrete sealing treatment locks in the clean surface and makes it much harder for stains and growth to take hold again. It's one of the best investments you can make to keep your concrete looking great for longer.
Pair your concrete cleaning with concrete sealing to protect the surface and keep it looking clean for much longer.
Surfaces We Clean
Concrete isn't just driveways. Here are the surfaces we clean regularly across Gwinnett County:
Sidewalks & Walkways
Front walks, side paths, and any poured walkway around your property.
Patios
Back patios, covered patios, and outdoor dining areas.
Pool Decks
The area around the pool that gets slippery with algae and mold growth.
Garage Floors

If your driveway needs work too, we can take care of it on the same visit. Most homeowners save time and money by having us clean all their concrete surfaces at once instead of scheduling separate trips.
Signs Your Concrete Needs Professional Cleaning
Because the change happens gradually, you might not realize how much your concrete has darkened over the years. Here are some things to watch for:
If any of those apply, a professional cleaning will make a huge difference. The concrete under all that buildup is still there - it just needs to be uncovered.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing depends on the total square footage and the condition of the surface. A standard patio or pool deck typically runs between $100 and $300. Larger areas or surfaces with heavy staining may be a bit more. We always give you a free quote before we start.
A typical patio or sidewalk takes 20 to 45 minutes. A large pool deck or multiple concrete areas might take an hour or more. Surface cleaning equipment is fast and efficient, so even big jobs move quickly.
Yes. Red clay staining is one of the most common issues we deal with in Gwinnett County. We use a specific treatment designed to break down the iron particles in red clay and lift them out of the concrete pores. Most red clay stains come out completely. Very old, deeply set stains may lighten significantly but not disappear entirely.
It's a smart move. Sealing fills the pores of the concrete and creates a barrier against stains, moisture, and biological growth. It keeps the clean look lasting much longer and makes future cleaning easier. We offer both wet-look and matte finish concrete sealing options.
Absolutely. Pool decks are one of our most common jobs. Algae and mold grow fast around pools because of the constant moisture, and a slippery pool deck is a safety concern. We clean the surface and remove all biological growth so it's safe and clean for your family.
