How often should you clean your driveway in Edgewater?

Scroll to clean ↓

Short answer: Wash your Edgewater driveway every 6 to 12 months. The town runs along the Indian River, and that river air behaves a lot like ocean air on concrete, pulling the schedule toward the 6-month end for anything close to the water.

Why Edgewater is different

Edgewater counts 11,777 homes on record, and 56% of them went up before 1990, so a lot of driveways here have had decades to build up the kind of staining a single wash won't fully erase in one pass.

The typical Edgewater lot runs 1,462 square feet of living space, on the smaller side for this stretch of the county, and driveways sized to a lot like that typically price around $212, with most Edgewater driveways falling between $149 and $212.

About 12% of Edgewater homes carry wood siding rather than stucco or block, and while that's a wall question rather than a driveway one, it's a reminder that river-air homes here tend to need attention on more than one surface at once.

With 16% of homes carrying a pool and 10% a screened cage, plenty of Edgewater driveways run alongside a deck that already needs washing every 6 months, so checking both together saves a second trip.

What to do

Step 1

Look at the driveway where it meets the lawn or borders a tree; that's usually the first place staining shows.

Step 2

If your address sits within a mile or two of the river, plan for the 6-month side of the range rather than the full year.

Step 3

Have the driveway washed from your Edgewater address once it turns dull rather than letting a full 12 months pass.

Step 4

Pair the driveway with the pool cage or house if either is due, since one visit covers both for 10% less than booking separately.

Step 5

Ask about Puma Pass if you'd rather the 6-month rhythm ran on its own instead of you keeping a calendar reminder.

Questions people ask

Is river-front air really as tough on concrete as ocean air?

Close to it. Edgewater sits on the Indian River, and that moist, salty air leaves the same kind of film on a driveway that ocean towns deal with.

Do Edgewater's older homes need washing more often?

Age itself doesn't set the price, but with 56% of the town built before 1990, a good number of driveways here have gone longer between cleanings and show it.

What if a sprinkler leaves an orange streak on the driveway?

That's rust from irrigation, a separate issue from general staining; ask the Puma chat on the page and a person will price it.
