Driveway cleaning in Lincoln
The slab you stopped noticing
Your Lincoln driveway works hard and rarely gets a real cleaning. Dry summers mean almost no rain to rinse off dust and pollen, so the concrete goes dull and gray before you notice. Add new-construction dust in the growth corridors around town and it builds up even faster.
Cable Pressure Washing and Solar Panel Cleaning brings driveway cleaning back the right way: driveway pressure washing, or power washing as some folks call it, with a commercial surface cleaner, the correct pressure, and honest answers about what will and won't come out. Nearly every driveway in Lincoln is concrete, and concrete cleaning is exactly what we do.
How we clean it
Even, streak-free concrete cleaning
We clean with a commercial surface cleaner, not a wand. A wand leaves stripes, the zebra striping you see on a neighbor's slab. The surface cleaner runs even passes at the right PSI and GPM through the correct nozzles, so the whole driveway comes out uniform, with no striping and no etching. We work the driveway apron down by the street and the garage threshold at the top, the two spots most crews rush.
Concrete takes real pressure, so we save soft washing for delicate surfaces like siding and roofs; that side of the business is our house washing in Lincoln service. And we run a cold water pressure rig. Hot water pressure washing is mostly a commercial thing, so we don't run a hot water unit at this time, but cold water pressure washing handles residential concrete and surface cleaning without a problem.
The stains
Oil, rust, and the marks you're tired of
Every driveway tells a different story, so there's no one-size-fits-all. When we pull up, we read the concrete first, then build a plan for the actual stains on it. Oil stain removal and rust stain removal get a targeted degreaser and a pre-treatment before the main pass, then a post-treatment after to slow how fast it comes back.
Tire marks, gum, algae removal, mildew removal, mold removal, lichen, and other organic growth all lift with the right detergent, and we reach for eco-friendly detergents wherever they get the job done. Here's the honest part: a fresh oil drip comes out. An oil stain that's soaked into the slab for years may not fully disappear. We'll pull it as far as it'll go and tell you what to expect before we start, not after.
What it costs
Driveway cleaning prices in Lincoln
No two driveways price the same, and a flat phone quote from someone who hasn't seen your stains isn't worth much. We use square footage pricing built on transparent pricing and upfront pricing, plus free quotes. Here's where most Lincoln jobs land.
| Surface | How it's priced | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway / concrete | per sq ft | ~$0.25/sq ft, $150 min |
| Paver cleaning | per sq ft | ~$0.40/sq ft |
| Patio cleaning | per sq ft | $150–$500 |
| Walkway cleaning | add-on | +$60–$100 |
Pricing current as of August 2026. A two-car driveway is roughly 600 sq ft. Heavy oil, rust, or tight access can move the number.

Pavers, sealing & sand
The honest version on pavers
Pavers and patios get a controlled clean so we lift the grime without blowing out the paver joint sand. A straight note so you know what you're getting: we don't offer polymeric sand re-sanding or concrete sealing at this time. We clean the surface and leave it ready if you plan to seal it. For most Lincoln driveways, a professional clean about once a year holds that fresh look. Prefer a set schedule? Ask about a maintenance plan; we set the cadence and reach out when you are due.
Local knowledge
Sun City motor courts, Twelve Bridges aprons
Lincoln driveways come in two flavors. Sun City Lincoln Hills is a 55-plus community with mostly single-story homes and shorter, tighter driveways, which often lands the job closer to the $150 minimum. Twelve Bridges is newer, with wider concrete aprons and more square footage per pad, which is where the higher end of the range comes in. Either way, it's the same $0.25 per square foot rate, no surprise pricing based on which neighborhood you're in.
New construction in the growth corridors around Twelve Bridges and Lincoln Crossing means fresh concrete dust settling on older driveways nearby, on top of the usual dry-summer buildup. Downtown Lincoln's older streets get the same treatment: read the concrete, build the plan, quote it honestly.
Clean and tidy
No mess, no runoff problems
Driveway cleaning pushes a lot of water toward the street, so we handle it responsibly. Runoff control on every job, and storm drain protection so grime and detergent don't run straight into Lincoln's storm drains. If your neighborhood has HOA standards for exterior work, we work within them and keep the site tidy. A clean driveway also cuts the slip hazard that builds as algae takes over the shaded edges, and it's the fastest curb appeal win and exterior cleaning upgrade on the whole property, whether you're maintaining the place or getting it ready to list.
