Quick answer: Published Jacksonville pricing references commonly place an approximately 800-square-foot driveway around $150–$260, about 1,200 square feet around $230–$400, and larger 1,600–2,000-square-foot driveways higher. Those are market references, not a quote. Minimum charges, heavy staining, oil treatment, rust removal, sidewalks and difficult drainage can move the final price.
Jacksonville context: Jacksonville driveway-cleaning prices can vary even when two properties have similar square footage. Northeast Florida driveways differ in access, staining, edging, drainage, coatings and setup time, so a useful quote should explain what is included instead of relying on one per-square-foot number.

What changes a driveway quote?
- Square footage: Larger drives require more time, water, pretreatment and rinsing.
- Minimum service charge: Very small driveways may still have a minimum because setup and travel do not disappear.
- Organic buildup: Heavy algae or mildew may require more pretreatment.
- Oil: Degreasing and agitation can be separate from standard cleaning.
- Rust / irrigation staining: Usually requires specialty chemistry.
- Sidewalks and curbs: Added flatwork increases measurable area and edge work.
- Drainage: Poor runoff or sensitive surrounding areas can slow rinsing.
Per-square-foot pricing vs. flat pricing
Square-foot pricing is useful for larger, open concrete because area correlates with labor. Smaller jobs are often quoted as a flat amount because a minimum charge matters more than the exact square footage.
For a meaningful comparison, ask whether the quoted area includes the sidewalk apron, city sidewalk, front walk, curb and patio.
Does pretreatment cost extra?
Some companies include standard organic pretreatment in the base driveway-cleaning scope. Others price it separately. Specialty stain chemistry for oil, rust or irrigation iron is more likely to be an add-on.
Can a cheaper quote be just as good?
Yes—if the scope matches. Compare whether both quotes include pretreatment, a surface cleaner, edges, rinsing and the same stain expectations. A lower price for a smaller scope is not the same offer.
Should you bundle the house or sidewalks?
Bundling can make sense because setup and travel overlap. Ask for separate line items for the driveway, house, sidewalks and other surfaces so you can see whether the package actually saves money.
Separate base driveway cleaning from specialty treatment
For ordinary concrete, the base scope may include pretreatment, surface cleaning, edge work and rinsing. Oil, rust, irrigation staining, tire marks, paint, sealer failure or heavy organic buildup can change the process. Homeowners should also compare whether adjoining sidewalks or aprons are included and whether a minimum service charge applies.

Common questions
What is the average driveway-cleaning cost in Jacksonville?
Public local guides put an 800-square-foot driveway around $150–$260, with larger drives scaling upward. Site conditions can shift the quote.
Does oil stain removal come with driveway washing?
Not always. Old oil can require separate chemistry and may not disappear completely even after treatment.
Does a circular driveway cost more?
Usually if it has more square footage or edge work. Shape matters less than total area, access and complexity.
