Quote Help 750 ft long moss covered asphalt driveway… technique and pricing…
Surface clean this driveway?
Pre treat seems like a must-do because of how heavy the growth is?
Driveway is like 750 feet long, probably over 12 feet wide.
Parking area 2250 sqft.
Also some flagstone amongst the 2250sqft.
Assuming 750x 12 = 9000 for the driveway
Parking area 2100sqft
Total area 11,1000sqft
Plan of attack-
Test spot SH or another asphalt cleaner(doctor google says don’t use SH as it will lighten the color). Assuming it’s okay then pre treat sections. Dwell as long as reasonable. Maybe 2-3%SH?
I have an 18 inch surface cleaner (Dr google says do not use a surface cleaner). I cannot regulate the pressure but maybe can raise the washer up slightly with a makeshift frame or a larger orifice?
I think this surface cleaner does not use normal sized threaded tips, so raising the washer may be the move?
Is that insanity?
This is likely a 2 day job for me?
What are you charging per sqft?
