How much does it cost to clean your driveway?

Scroll to clean ↓

Short answer: A typical driveway clean in Volusia County runs around 212 dollars. Puma prices it at 25 cents per square foot, with a 149 dollar minimum, measured from the county's 2024 aerial photo.

01

How the number gets set

Instead of sending someone out to measure, the price starts from your address using county property records, size, floors and other details on file. A driveway estimate is measured from the county's 2024 aerial photo, and if that photo isn't clear enough, you pick the closest of four sizes: short one-car, standard two-car, long or extra-wide, or circular.

The price you book is the price you pay. There's no surprise total once the crew shows up, and no add-on fees tacked on after the fact for things that were already accounted for in the aerial measurement.

Puma says: Instead of sending someone out to measure, the price starts from your address using county property records, size, floors and other details on file.

This matters most for older homes, where county records might not reflect a driveway that's been widened or extended since the house was built. The photo step is what catches that, so the number you're quoted matches what's actually there rather than just what's on file from decades ago.

02

What changes the price

A long driveway or a wide, three-car layout costs more than a short two-car pad, simply because there's more concrete to clean. Heavier staining doesn't usually change the price itself, since the job is priced by area, not by how dirty it is. A driveway with a stamped or decorative finish is treated the same way for pricing, though the wash itself may be handled a little more carefully.

03

What's included

Concrete gets real pressure through a surface cleaner, the flat rotating tool that gives an even, streak-free finish instead of the zebra-stripe look a wand can leave behind. Plants nearby get wet down first and rinsed after, and pets are fine to stay inside during the visit, no need to plan around them.

04

The first-stripe check

Every job starts with one clean stripe cut into the dirtiest section of the driveway. If it doesn't make you say whoa, the crew packs up and you pay nothing, so you're never paying for a result you haven't already seen for yourself.

05

Bundling it with other work

If you're also getting the house, roof or pool cage cleaned, booking three or more services together brings a 10 percent discount off the total. It's worth asking about when you book if you've got more than one surface that needs attention this season.

For homeowners who'd rather not think about scheduling every year, Puma Pass rebooks the same driveway wash automatically every 6 months at 15 percent off. You can skip a cycle or cancel outright whenever it stops making sense for your household.

06

Longer driveways and boat or RV pads

An extended driveway built for a boat, RV or extra vehicles simply has more square footage, so the total scales up from the same 25 cents per square foot rate rather than a different pricing method. A circular driveway or one with a side apron for extra parking is measured the same way, from the county's aerial photo or the closest of the four size options if that photo isn't clear, so the number reflects the actual layout, not just a standard two-car guess.

07

In Volusia County

Puma's price list puts the typical driveway clean at $212 — priced at 25 cents per square foot with a $149 minimum. Volusia County property records show 56% of homes in the county were built before 1990 — older driveways tend to carry more built-up staining by the time they're first cleaned.

Questions people ask

Do I need to be home for the estimate or the job?

No. The price comes from your address and the county's aerial photo, and you don't need to be home for the cleaning itself.

Does a stained driveway cost more than a clean one?

No, the price is based on square footage, not on how much staining is there.

What if the aerial photo doesn't show my driveway clearly?

You pick the closest of four sizes — short one-car, standard two-car, long or extra-wide, or circular — before you book, so the price still matches your layout, not a guess.

Is a deposit required to book?

Yes, a 25 percent deposit by card holds your spot on the schedule, and the rest is charged 24 hours after the job unless something looks off, in which case it's a free re-clean.
