Tauranga’s warm, coastal climate is a dream — until your driveway starts to turn green.
In seaside suburbs like Papamoa and Mount Maunganui, concrete surfaces quickly become coated with:
- Moss
- Algae
- Tyre marks
- Oil stains
- And slick winter grime
At Metro Water Blasting, we provide safe, powerful concrete cleaning services across the Tauranga region, restoring your driveway or patio to its original condition — just in time for winter.

Why Papamoa & Mount Maunganui Are High-Risk for Slippery Driveways
| Local Condition | Risk |
|---|---|
| High humidity | Encourages moss and algae growth |
| Sea air | Leaves salt residue on hard surfaces |
| Shaded homes | Slows drying, worsens slipperiness |
| Garden-heavy sections | Contributes to green buildup |
Whether you live on Dickson Road, near Papamoa Beach Road, or in the heart of Central Mount, your driveway is likely collecting grime — and becoming a slip hazard during rain.
What We Clean
✅ Driveways – Concrete, exposed aggregate, patterned finishes
✅ Paths and walkways – Slippery garden paths, front entries

- High-pressure surface cleaning
- Edging and detail cleaning
- Rinse and visual inspection
Suburb Focus: Papamoa
Papamoa homes often sit on sandy soil with large outdoor areas. That means:
- Driveways collect blown dirt, pollen, and organic matter
- Garden irrigation systems keep surfaces damp
- Wind from the beach blows salt and airborne moss spores
We clean properties throughout Papamoa Beach, Papamoa East, and Golden Sands — restoring driveways to a clean, grippy finish.
Suburb Focus: Mount Maunganui
Mount homes face constant coastal exposure, especially in:
- Oceanbeach Road
- Valley Road
- Maunganui Road
This leads to:
- Salt + algae buildup on concrete
- Surface erosion if not cleaned
- Extra slip risk around pools or sea-facing patios
Our technicians are trained to assess the condition of your surfaces and clean safely — no damage, no streaks, just great results.
Why Concrete Cleaning Matters Before Winter
Letting moss and algae settle through autumn guarantees problems when winter arrives:
- Surfaces become dangerously slick
- Water is absorbed deeper into concrete
- Existing stains set in harder
- Cracks form when moisture freezes/expands
Clean now and your surfaces will stay safer and cleaner through the cold months.
How Often Should You Clean Your Driveway?
| Area Type | Cleaning Frequency |
|---|---|
| Near the beach | Every 6–9 months |
| Shaded/garden-heavy sections | Every 6 months |
| Open, sunny driveways | Annually |
| Before home sale | Immediately before photos/listing |
