What Baton Rouge homeowners pay to pressure wash a driveway, why concrete and pavers price differently, and how oil, rust, and clay staining change it.
Most standard residential driveways in the Baton Rouge area fall in the range of roughly 150 to 350 dollars for a professional cleaning. A compact single-car concrete drive sits at the low end; a wide paver driveway on a larger Prairieville or Zachary lot lands higher. It is one of the more affordable services, but the number still moves with a few factors.
Very large circular or extended driveways, and any that have gone years without cleaning, can run above that band. Because Baton Rouge humidity feeds algae in the joints and pores year-round and live oaks drop leaf tannin and pollen onto the slab, a driveway can look a decade old in just a few years, which is why it is usually the first surface homeowners want cleaned.
No. Cleaning and sealing are two different jobs. A driveway wash removes the dirt and growth; sealing a paver driveway afterward locks in the color, stabilizes the joint sand, and slows the return of weeds and red-clay stain. Sealing is priced separately because it uses different materials and needs the pavers fully clean and dry first, but booking both together almost always costs less than two separate visits.
You will sometimes see rock-bottom driveway prices from crews planning to blast at maximum pressure. On concrete that can etch permanent zebra stripes into the surface, and on pavers it blows the joint sand out, leading to shifting and weeds. The correct approach uses a surface cleaner at the right pressure for an even, streak-free finish, which protects the driveway and lasts longer.

Because so much depends on size, material, and staining, the best way to know your exact cost is a quick look or a couple of photos, which lets us give flat, upfront pricing before any work starts. Get a quote across all of our Baton Rouge pressure washing services.
Can you remove oil and rust stains? Usually a great deal of them. Oil is drawn out with a degreaser and rust is dissolved with the right product; both improve dramatically, though a very old, deep stain may lighten rather than vanish completely.
Will cleaning ruin my pavers? Not when done right. We use a surface cleaner at a controlled pressure and re-sand the joints, rather than blasting the sand out with a narrow wand.
How often should a driveway be cleaned here? Once a year keeps organic growth out of the joints and pores; shaded, oak-lined drives may want it twice.
