Transform Your Austin Property with Professional Pressure Washing
Live Oak Exterior Cleaning delivers professional pressure washing services throughout Austin, TX that restore your property's beauty and protect your investment. Whether you need your driveway cleaned, siding restored, or entire property refreshed, our experienced team brings the expertise and equipment to deliver exceptional results.
As Austin's trusted exterior cleaning specialists, we understand the unique challenges our climate presents. From cedar pollen that coats everything yellow each spring to the intense summer heat that bakes dirt into concrete, Austin properties face constant assault from the elements. Add in our occasional torrential storms, high humidity near creeks and lakes, and you have a perfect recipe for dirty exteriors that need professional attention.
That's where we come in. Our soft washing and pressure washing services are specifically designed for Austin's climate and common building materials. We clean everything from modern downtown condos to historic Hyde Park bungalows to Hill Country limestone estates in Westlake and Bee Cave.
What Is Pressure Washing?
Pressure washing (also called power washing) uses high-pressure water spray—typically 2,000 to 3,000 PSI—to remove dirt, grime, mold, mildew, loose paint, mud, and other contaminants from surfaces. The powerful water stream blasts away buildup that regular garden hoses can't touch.
While incredibly effective on durable surfaces like concrete driveways, brick pavers, and stone walkways, pressure washing isn't appropriate for all materials. That's why Live Oak also offers soft washing—a gentler, low-pressure alternative that's perfect for painted siding, stucco, wood decks, and roofs.
When You Need Pressure Washing in Austin
You should consider professional pressure washing when you notice:
- Dark stains on concrete: Oil drips, tire marks, and mildew make your driveway look neglected
- Green or black streaks: Algae and mold growing on walkways, patios, or siding
- Caked-on dirt: Years of Austin dust, pollen, and grime dulling your exterior
- Pre-sale preparation: Boosting curb appeal before listing your home
- Post-construction cleanup: Removing debris and residue after renovations
- Annual maintenance: Preventing long-term damage and preserving your property value

Pressure Washing vs. Soft Washing: Which Do You Need?
This is the question we hear most often. Here's the simple answer:
Use pressure washing for: Concrete driveways, sidewalks, brick pavers, stone patios, parking lots, and other durable, hard surfaces that can handle 2,000+ PSI.
Use soft washing for: House siding, roofs, painted surfaces, wood decks, stucco, and any delicate material that high pressure could damage.
The good news? Live Oak offers both services, and we'll assess your property to recommend the right approach for each surface. Many properties need a combination—pressure washing for the driveway and walkways, soft washing for the house exterior.
Pricing & What Affects Your Quote
Our pressure washing services start at $349 for most residential properties in Austin. Your final price depends on:
- Square footage: A 500 sq ft driveway costs less than a 2,000 sq ft driveway and patio combined
- Surface condition: Light dirt is quicker than years of buildup or heavy staining
- Surface type: Smooth concrete cleans faster than textured pavers or natural stone
- Accessibility: Easy access vs. gated properties or properties requiring special equipment
- Additional services: Bundling window cleaning or gutter cleaning saves you money

Frequently Asked Questions About Pressure Washing in Austin
How much does pressure washing cost in Austin?
Our professional pressure washing services in Austin start at $350. Final pricing depends on the size of your property, surfaces to be cleaned, and level of dirt or staining. We provide free, no-obligation quotes with transparent pricing and no hidden fees.
What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water (2,000-3,000 PSI) to blast away dirt from durable surfaces like concrete driveways and sidewalks. Soft washing uses low pressure combined with cleaning solutions to safely clean delicate surfaces like siding, roofs, and painted surfaces without damage.
How often should I pressure wash my Austin home?
Most Austin homes benefit from pressure washing annually. However, homes with heavy tree coverage, in humid areas, or near busy roads may need cleaning 2-3 times per year. Austin's cedar pollen, hot summers, and occasional storms contribute to faster dirt buildup.
Is pressure washing safe for all surfaces?
No. High-pressure washing is excellent for concrete, brick, and stone, but can damage wood, vinyl siding, painted surfaces, and roofs. That's why we assess each surface and use the appropriate pressure level and technique—sometimes switching to soft washing for delicate materials.
Do you bring your own water?
We typically use your outdoor water spigot, which keeps costs lower for you. However, we can bring our own water supply for commercial jobs or properties without easy water access for an additional fee.
Will pressure washing damage my landscaping?
No. We take extensive precautions to protect your landscaping, including pre-watering plants, covering delicate vegetation, using eco-friendly cleaning solutions, and rinsing plants after cleaning. Plant protection is included in every service.
How long does pressure washing take?
Most residential pressure washing jobs take 2-4 hours depending on property size and services selected. A standard driveway takes 30-45 minutes, while a full home exterior with driveway and walkways typically takes 3-4 hours.
What surfaces can you pressure wash?
We can clean driveways, sidewalks, patios, decks, fences, siding, brick, stone, concrete, pavers, pool decks, garage floors, parking lots, and more. Each surface is assessed and cleaned with the appropriate pressure level and technique for safe, effective results.
