What's included in your concrete cleaning
- Industrial-grade cleaning solution and pro surface-cleaning machines bring the whole run up to one even, uniform tone a store cleaner and a garden hose can't touch
- Front walks, sidewalks, garage aprons, side paths, steps, and foundation lines all brought up to match, not just the strip up to the door
- Algae killed down in the pores with a pre-treat, so the green on shaded, lake-side flatwork comes back slower
- Rust off the irrigation or red clay tracked from the yard? We flag it. That's iron, a separate treatment, and never an acid on a young slab
- A newer, still-curing slab gets a gentle soft wash instead of a hard blast, so the surface comes clean without the high pressure that can etch it

Spinning Wand
How flatwork gets wrecked
- High pressure aimed in tracks. Leaves zebra stripes you'll see for months
- Enough force to etch a newer slab that hasn't fully cured
- Pushes oil and grime around without ever treating it
- Chews up the surface and leaves the walk rougher than the green did
Bub's method
Soft Wash + Two-Step
What everyday flatwork needs
- An even, low-pressure pass pulls the whole run to one tone, no stripes
- Low pressure on newer concrete, so we don't risk etching a slab that's still curing
- A pre-treat and post-treat kill the algae in the pores, not just off the top
- Walks, aprons, steps, and foundation lines all brought to one even color

No surprises, straight answers
The questions Lexington homeowners
actually ask
No. That's what worries folks who've seen a half-cleaned slab, and it's exactly what a two-step prevents. We pre-treat the whole run, let it dwell so the algae's killed uniformly, then rinse it even at low pressure, so the walk dries one consistent tone edge to edge instead of clean-patch-next-to-dirty-patch where the film was thickest.
No. On these everyday slabs we keep it to a soft wash: low pressure with a pre-treat and post-treat, so the chemistry does the work and the whole run still comes up one even tone. The striping you see elsewhere is a spinning wand chewing tracks into the surface. We don't swing one across a curing walk or apron.
Both are their own thing apart from the green. A grease drip on the apron takes hot degreaser and still only lifts so far. Once it's down in the pores it mostly stays. Rust and red-clay are iron, a separate treatment again, and on a young slab we skip the acid that would etch it. We tell you up front which marks will respond and which are there to stay.
Yes. We soak the beds and grass running along the flatwork before we start and rinse everything down after. The cleaning solution only causes trouble if it's left to dry on foliage, and we don't let that happen.
Once it's rinsed and dried, yes. We rinse the slab and the ground around it thoroughly so there's nothing left sitting on the surface, just give it time to dry like you would after a rain.
We are. Bub's is veteran-owned, licensed, and fully insured, so the protection's already in place before a drop of water hits your walk. It's the owner and the same crew running the wash, job after job.

Getting your quote, step by step
How getting your free quote works
Here's the path from your first message to a real number on your flatwork. Quick to book, and walked in person before we quote it.
1
Call or fill out the form and tell us what you've got. The front walk, the sidewalk, the garage apron, the steps, the green in the shade. That's all the booking team needs to get you on the calendar.
2
We don't sit on it, usually a same-day call back to lock a time that works around your schedule, then you're on the calendar.
3
Before any water runs, a tech looks over the concrete with you. How new the slab is, whether it's coated or stamped, where the algae's worst, and which stains are oil or red-clay rust versus growth. That's what decides soft wash vs surface clean.
4
The tech sizes up your actual flatwork and gives you a straight price in person, free, no obligation, no trip fee. Give the go-ahead and we get to work.

Questions, answered
Concrete Cleaning questions in Lexington
A young slab actually isn't a good candidate for high pressure. Concrete keeps hardening at the surface for its first few years, and a hard wash or a strong acid can etch it and leave it rough. That's why on newer walks and aprons we soft wash: low pressure, with a cleaning solution doing the work, so the surface stays smooth.
Yes. The public sidewalk along the street, the garage apron, the side path, the steps, and the foundation skirt are all the same everyday flatwork, and they green up the same way on the shaded, low runs. We soft wash the whole lot to one even tone so it matches, not just the strip up to the door.
About every about every year-and-a-half to two years keeps the everyday flatwork ahead of the green. The shaded front walk and the foundation-side path that sit damp in the lake humidity film back over sooner than a sun-baked apron, so watch those first.
That's iron, from irrigation, fertilizer, or red clay tracked across the Midlands. It's a mineral stain, not growth, so the algae treatment won't touch it. It normally takes an acid, but on a young slab acid can etch the surface, so we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth treating yet or better to let the concrete age first.
Those are petroleum, not algae, so they're their own thing apart from the soft wash. A hot degreaser can lighten a fresh surface drip, but only so much, and once oil's wicked down into the pores of the concrete it barely moves, so we won't promise it gone. We treat what'll respond and tell you plainly which spots are going to hang on rather than overselling it.
We do, from downtown Lexington out through the Old Cherokee and Corley Mill side and around the lake. We come to you with no trip fee, and if you're just past our usual run, reach out anyway.

Concrete Cleaning in Lexington, Lake Murray country
What sets our Lexington work apart
It's the everyday concrete that quietly goes green out here: the front walk up to the door, the public sidewalk along the street, the garage apron, the steps, the path around the side of the house, the foundation skirt down low. Lake Murray humidity settles into the shaded, low stretches of all of it and feeds a film that turns the whole surface dull. A lot of these runs sit in front of newer builds, and that concrete hasn't fully hardened at the surface its first couple-few years, so a hard pressure wash or a strong acid can etch it and leave it rougher than the algae ever did. So we soft wash the flatwork. A cleaning solution does the work at low pressure. It kills the algae and mildew down in the pores and a gentle rinse carries it off, so the whole run comes up even without grinding the surface. (Your back patio and pool deck are their own thing. We handle those on their own pages.)
Lexington sits on the south shore of Lake Murray, and all that lake humidity is hard on exteriors. North-facing siding, shaded roofs, and pool decks green up fast from the dam down through the neighborhoods off Old Cherokee and Corley Mill. It's also one of the fastest-growing towns in the state, so there's a lot of newer vinyl and builder-grade brick that does best with a gentle soft wash rather than high pressure.
From Harrisburg, Leaphart, and Gardendale, Lexington homeowners count on us for concrete cleaning done right.
While we're at your Lexington place, we can knock out your driveway cleaning, patio cleaning, and pool deck cleaning too, all on the same trip with no second trip fee.
Veteran-owned, and we treat your home like it's ours.

Our process, step by step
How our concrete cleaning works on Lexington's everyday flatwork
Here's how we bring your front walk, garage apron, sidewalk, and steps back to one even color, soft and low-pressure, so a slab that's still curing comes clean without etching.
First thing we do is see how new the concrete is and what's on it. The front walk, the sidewalk along the street, the apron, the steps, the foundation skirt. A slab that's only a year or two old hasn't fully hardened at the surface, so it gets a soft wash, not a hard one. We also flag what isn't algae. Oil, or rusty red-clay and irrigation iron, since those need their own treatment, and acid on a young slab is a quick way to etch it.
A cleaning solution goes down and gets time to work into the pores, so the algae and mildew are killed instead of just wetted. Letting it dwell is what does the cleaning. It's why we don't need the high pressure that would chew up newer concrete or a coated deck.
We bring the run up to one tone with a gentle, even rinse. Low pressure, no spinning-wand stripes. There's a middle ground a lot of folks miss: a walk that's a few years in and fully cured but still on the newer side doesn't need a full-force surface clean. We swap to a higher-angle nozzle that fans the spray wider and softens the bite, then lean harder on the pre-treat and the dwell so the cleaning solution does most of the lifting and the machine does less. On a still-curing slab we drop all the way to a true soft wash, no surface cleaner at all, so a fresh surface comes clean without ever getting chewed up.
A post-treat slows the regrowth, a full rinse clears the residue, and we hand-work the steps, edges, and tight corners. If a rust or oil stain wouldn't lift without risking the slab, we tell you that straight instead of forcing it.
