Why Eastern Suburbs Need Regular Concrete Cleaning
These suburbs are exposed to:
- High salt exposure – especially near Miramar and Seatoun
- Moss and mould growth – from shaded driveways in Maupuia and Hataitai
- Tire marks, grime, and oil stains – common on driveways in busy residential streets
- Pollen and tree debris – falling from pohutukawa and pines around Strathmore
Left untreated, these issues create not only an eyesore but serious safety hazards like slippery surfaces and stained, eroded concrete.
Suburb-by-Suburb Breakdown
✅ Miramar & Strathmore Park
Homes here face direct coastal exposure. Salt deposits and airborne grime settle quickly on paths, retaining walls, and driveways.
✅ Kilbirnie & Lyall Bay
Driveways in these suburbs often face traffic, wet weather, and low winter sun, making moss and black lichen extremely common.
✅ Maupuia & Seatoun Heights
Hilly terrain and bush cover encourage green algae and black mould to form on stairs, steps, and courtyard surfaces.
✅ Hataitai & Roseneath
Older properties and tight urban lots often have painted concrete paths and retaining walls that discolor over time without maintenance.
