Concrete flatwork cleaning
The dirt you stopped noticing
Most people already know their driveway is dirty. They just don't have the machine to fix it, or the time, so it sits. Then they scroll past a clean one online and suddenly notice how bad theirs got. That is usually the moment they call Cable Pressure Washing and Solar Panel Cleaning.
We clean the flat concrete around your home: driveways, patios, pavers, sidewalks, walkways, and pool decks. We are a father-and-son crew, and we bring the right equipment, the right chemistry, and honest answers about what will and won't fully come clean. No blasting away with plain water and hoping. A plan for the actual stains on your slab.
What we clean
Every flat surface around your home
Concrete shows everything. Tire marks down the middle of the driveway. Oil drips by the garage. That gray-green film creeping across the shady side of the patio. Here is what we lift off each surface.
| Surface | What we lift off it |
|---|---|
| Driveways & concrete | Tire marks, oil, rust, dirt, and algae |
| Patios & pavers | Mildew, mold, grease, and weathering |
| Sidewalks & walkways | Slippery buildup, dirt, and moss |
| Pool decks & entryways | Staining, buildup, and slip hazards |
What it costs
What driveway & patio cleaning actually costs
No two concrete jobs price the same. Anyone who quotes you a flat rate over the phone hasn't seen your stains. Here is the honest range for the Rocklin and Roseville area.
| Surface | Typical rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway / concrete | ~$0.25 / sq ft | $150 minimum ($150–$300 typical) |
| Patio / paver | ~$0.40 / sq ft | more detail work ($120–$500) |
| Sidewalk / walkway | +$60–$100 | usually bundled with the driveway |
Pricing current as of 2026. Heavy buildup, oil, rust, and tight access can move the number. First 15 round-trip miles included.

Why the equipment matters
Why the machine is only half the job
Here is what most people find out the hard way after renting a washer from Home Depot: it may not be powerful enough, and the pressure is only half of it. The chemistry matters just as much. Different stains need different treatments, and nobody at the rental counter tells you that. So people blast away with plain water, and the results just look... okay.
A spinning wand also leaves stripes. The "zebra striping" you've probably seen on a neighbor's driveway. We run a commercial surface cleaner instead. Even passes, no lines, and the right PSI for the surface so we don't etch the concrete or blow the sand out of your pavers.
"Will pressure washing wreck my concrete?"
Not when it is matched to the surface. Old, flaking, or delicate concrete gets a softer approach, and that is exactly what the free on-site look is for. We set the pressure to the material, not the other way around.
Straight talk
The stains people think won't come out
We'll tell you the truth other companies won't: some stains don't fully disappear. A fresh oil drip? Gone. An oil stain that has been soaking in for years? We'll pull it as far as it'll go, and we'll tell you honestly what to expect before we start, not after.
When we pull up, we read the concrete first. Its age, the scope, and every stain on it. Rust, oil, grease, tire marks. Each one gets treated in a specific order so they actually lift instead of setting deeper. That sequence is the difference between "cleaner" and "wow." There is no one-size-fits-all for concrete, and pretending there is would just leave you disappointed with the results.

Why it gets dirty so fast in Placer County
We don't get much rain here, so nothing rinses off on its own. Add the construction dust that is always blowing around Rocklin and Roseville, plus driveways that actually get used. Cars in and out all day, kids on bikes. Buildup stacks up quicker than most people expect.
So how often should you clean it? Rinse it down now and then. But once a year, get it professionally cleaned to bring back that fresh, new look. It is honestly one of the biggest visual upgrades you can make to your property in an afternoon, and it makes a huge difference when you pull up to your own house.
