The secret to pressure washing for asphalt is using the right method, not the most pressure. In your area, we match the cleaner and pressure to the surface so it comes out clean without damage. With asphalt, the right approach is low-to-moderate pressure wash.

How we clean it

Low-to-moderate pressure washCleaning method
Usually 1,500-2,500 PSI; hot water helps with oilPressure

Cleaning solution: An asphalt-safe degreaser; avoid solvent-based products.

Cleaning asphalt safely

Asphalt is softer than concrete and is held together by its binder, so it is washed at lower pressure. Washing removes dirt and some oil staining before sealcoating, but old, absorbed oil stains rarely disappear completely.

Avoid: High pressure and harsh solvents that loosen the aggregate and break down the binder.

How often: Before sealcoating, typically every 2-3 years.

Signs you need pressure washing for asphalt

  • Driveway or walkways look dark, gray or streaky
  • Green or black growth in shaded areas and along edges
  • Slippery surfaces after rain
  • Oil, rust or tire marks you can't scrub out
  • You're getting ready to sell, seal or paint

Where the grime comes from

  • Dirt and pollen that settle into the pores of concrete
  • Mold, mildew and algae in damp, shaded spots
  • Oil and fluid drips from vehicles
  • Rust from sprinklers, furniture and fertilizer
  • Tire marks and general foot traffic

Safe steps for homeowners

  • Sweep off leaves and loose debris so they don't stain
  • Blot fresh oil drips with cat litter or an absorbent right away
  • Point sprinklers away from walls and walkways to cut down on rust and hard-water stains
  • Rinse pollen off with a garden hose during heavy pollen season

What can go wrong with DIY pressure washing

  • Etched lines and 'zebra stripes' from holding a narrow tip too close
  • Water forced into window frames, door sills and siding laps
  • Damaged plants and lawns from chemical runoff
  • Injuries: a zero-degree tip can cut skin, and wet surfaces are slippery

Do you use high pressure for pressure washing for asphalt?

For asphalt: usually 1,500-2,500 PSI; hot water helps with oil. What we avoid: high pressure and harsh solvents that loosen the aggregate and break down the binder. The cleaning solution does most of the work, followed by a gentle rinse.

Is pressure washing for asphalt safe for my plants and pets?

We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.

How often should I schedule pressure washing for asphalt?

Before sealcoating, typically every 2-3 years. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.

What if it rains on the day?

Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
