Driveway Cleaning in Galway - What We Deal With
Block paving is the dominant surface in Galway's estate developments - Oranmore, Knocknacarra, Renmore, Doughiska, Ballinfoyle and dozens of other estates built across the county in the 2000s all feature interlocking block paving. These driveways look excellent when first laid, but in Galway's rainfall the joints fill with organic matter quickly. Within a few seasons, green algae covers the blocks, weeds take hold in the joints and the whole surface looks neglected. The fix is not difficult - but it does require the right process.
Older properties in County Galway - particularly across rural East Galway and the villages of Athenry, Loughrea and Gort - tend to have concrete or tarmac driveways. Concrete picks up black spot and biological staining readily in this climate. Tarmac fades to a grey-green without periodic cleaning. Both surfaces benefit enormously from a professional clean and treatment. Throughout Connemara, natural stone and gravel are common - we handle these too.
What's Included in Our Galway Driveway Service
Biocide Pre-Treatment
Applied to heavy green or black growth zones before the pressure wash. The biocide breaks down the biological material, making pressure cleaning far more effective.
High-Pressure Clean
Rotary surface cleaner removes all loosened growth uniformly without striping. The most effective method for block paving and concrete in Galway's conditions.
Re-Sanding (Block Paving)
Kiln-dried jointing sand worked back into the joints after cleaning. Essential for block paving stability and for closing down weed germination points.
Post-Clean Biocide
Applied to all surfaces after cleaning to kill residual spores and slow regrowth. With Galway's rainfall, this treatment is strongly recommended.

Yes. Pressure cleaning removes jointing sand. We apply fresh kiln-dried sand after cleaning to reseal the joints and prevent weed regrowth - included in our standard block paving service.
With biocide treatment, every 2-3 years is typically sufficient in Galway conditions. Without treatment, annual cleaning is common as regrowth accelerates in the wet climate.
