Driveway and Patio Cleaning Pricing & Quotes

Clear, local pricing for all forms of driveway, patio and hard-surface cleaning. We explain our transparent pricing model so you know what to expect from a driveway pressure wash, patio power cleaning or a full surface rejuvenation service. Whether you search for gardening company prices area or want to compare man and van cost area, this page breaks down the main charges, waste haulage and typical example jobs.

Quick overview: we price by job type and actual workload. For vegetation clearance, moss and grime removal or deep jet washing we combine a per-square-metre service rate with optional load-based rubbish removal charged by the cubic yard. Simple, fair and predictable.

How our transparent pricing model works

We use a two-part approach: a surface cleaning rate and a waste/disposal rate. The surface cleaning fee is typically quoted per square metre for driveways or patios, or as a fixed price for standard property styles (for example: terraced front drive, semi-detached driveway, suburban patio). The disposal fee is charged using load-based or cubic-yard rates so you only pay for the material removed, not an arbitrary flat fee.

Man and van cost area is factored in when debris needs transporting. If you opt for haulage, we include a transparent man-and-van fee that covers labour, loading time and miles. For customers comparing gardening company prices area, this makes it easy to compare like-for-like quotes: surface cleaning + cubic-yard waste + man-and-van where needed.

Load-based (cubic-yard) rates explained

Load-based pricing is practical for jobs with loose debris, broken paving, or soil and planting waste after a patio or driveway overhaul. We measure the skip-equivalent in cubic yards. Typical ranges below are examples used by many local services; your quote will show exact measurements so everything remains accountable and traceable.

• 0.5 cubic yard (small load): suitable for light clearance of moss, small soil and a few paving slabs.
• 1 - 2 cubic yards (medium load): removal of several paving units, heavy vegetation and general waste from a standard front or back patio.
• 3+ cubic yards (large load): full driveway re-lay clearance, large patio renovations, or commercial clean-ups in busy locations.

Example jobs and typical costs

Examples below relate to common property styles and busy local spots, to give context to pricing. All figures are illustrative — your free quote will confirm final numbers:

Example A — Suburban semi-detached driveway (residential): Pressure wash 25 m2, light moss removal, no heavy waste. Surface cleaning quoted per-square-metre: approx. £6–£10 per m2. No cubic-yard charge. Suitable when comparing gardening company prices area for routine maintenance.

Example B — Terraced house patio behind a city-centre flat: 12 m2 patio deep clean plus weed flushing. Surface rate lower due to small area: approx. £8–£12 per m2. If small amounts of removed soil require haulage, add a 0.5 cubic-yard disposal fee and a modest man-and-van cost in busy central zones.

Example C — Large suburban driveway and garden clear-out

Large driveway (50–70 m2) with embedded oil stains and broken slabs needing removal. Surface clean and oil treatment quoted per m2 plus a 1–2 cubic yard waste removal charge. Man and van cost area applies for trips to local licensed disposal sites; this often appears as a single-line haulage fee on the quote so you can see the breakdown.

Example D — Commercial/High-footfall location: Car park/forecourt cleaning near shops or busy roads usually requires permits or time-restricted access. Pricing accounts for additional labour and time windows and may include higher man-and-van costs to meet local regulations — we always itemise these so you can compare providers.

To keep comparisons fair across gardening company prices area, ask for: surface rate per m2, estimated cubic yards of waste, and a separate man-and-van haulage line. That way you understand both the cleaning work and the disposal logistics.

What a typical detailed quote includes

A full written quote lists: scope of work, surface area (m2), surface cleaning rate, waste volume (cubic yards), disposal cost and any man-and-van fee. We also include anticipated time on site and whether any additional treatments (like oil emulsification or sealing) are recommended. Transparency means no hidden extras on the final invoice.

Our free quote policy: we offer a no-obligation quote for most standard jobs, either remotely from photos or by a short site visit where needed. The free quote will itemise per-square-metre costs, show any load-based cubic-yard calculations and list man and van cost area charges clearly. If additional work is identified on site, we always confirm before proceeding.

Final notes: use this page to compare like-for-like quotes — ask potential suppliers to separate surface cleaning, disposal (cubic yards) and haulage (man-and-van) lines. That keeps the selection process fair and lets you choose the best value for your driveway cleaning, patio revitalisation or hard-surface maintenance needs. We aim for clear, honest pricing so you can budget with confidence.
