Driveway Cleaning & Weedkill

Driveway cleaning in Burgess Hill

We recently visited a property in Burgess Hill, West Sussex, to address a driveway that had certainly seen better days. The homeowners contacted us because their main entrance had become overgrown and dull, with stubborn weeds taking hold in the joints and moss spreading across the surface. Living in the RH15 area, properties are often subject to damp spells that encourage this kind of growth, and it was clear that a professional intervention was needed to restore the kerb appeal and protect the longevity of the installation.

Tackling the weeds properly first

With over twenty years of experience in exterior cleaning across Sussex, we know that every surface requires a tailored approach. We started by applying a professional-grade weedkiller to ensure that the roots beneath the surface were properly dealt with, rather than just removing the foliage. Once the treatment had taken effect, we deployed our industrial-grade pressure washing equipment. We are always careful to manage the pressure levels, ensuring we provide enough power to lift years of grime and lichen without damaging the integrity of the blocks or the sub-base.

Care around drainage and borders

Throughout the process, we paid close attention to the drainage and surrounding flower beds, rinsing away the dislodged debris to leave the site tidy. Working around the edges of the driveway required a steady hand, particularly where the paving met the lawn and planted areas. We adjusted our approach as we went, making sure no loose material was left to wash back onto the clean surface or block any of the existing drainage channels.

Original colour brought back through

The transformation was immediate, revealing the original colour and texture of the driveway that had been hidden for so long. The moss and surface debris were removed, leaving the area cleaner and easier to maintain. The customer was very happy with the result, particularly as the surface was now completely clear and ready for the final steps of re-sanding and sealing.

Keeping it that way

To keep a driveway in this condition, we always recommend regular sweeping to prevent organic matter from settling in the joints.
