See below for a detailed step-by-step breakdown of our Exposed Aggregate Cleaning & Sealing process!

Step 1

Inspect Exposed Aggregate

Before cleaning begins, we inspect for loose aggregate, cracks, stains, oil spots, old coatings, surface damage, and drainage issues. Every exposed aggregate surface is different, so we determine the proper cleaning and sealing approach before beginning the project.

Step 2

Step 2 graphic of HurriClean's Exposed Aggregate Cleaning & Sealing Process: overspray shields are placed over adjacent lawn, landscaping, and home exterior surfaces to protect surroundings.

Protect Surrounding Areas

Before cleaning solution application, precautions are taken to protect  nearby landscaping, siding, garage doors, painted surfaces, entryways, and surrounding areas. This helps to ensure our aggregate cleaners & sealer will only touch the intended surface.

Step 3

Step 3 graphic of HurriClean's Exposed Aggregate Cleaning & Sealing Process: a pre-treatment cleaning solution is applied to the exposed aggregate driveway surface.

Pre-Treat the Aggregate

A pre-treatment cleaning solution is applied to loosen dirt, mildew, algae, organic growth, auto residue, and contaminants embedded in the aggregate. This allows our surface cleaning equipment to work deeper and more evenly without relying on excessive pressure.

Step 4

Hot-Water Surface Cleaning

Hot water beats cold water every time for loosening and breaking down stubborn dirt, grease, oil residue, grime, and contaminants. We use our commercial-grade surface cleaner to provide consistent results across the entire surface – with no risk of aggregate damage.

Step 5

Step 5 graphic of HurriClean's Exposed Aggregate Cleaning & Sealing Process: the aggregate driveway is half coverd in white, foamy post-treatment cleaning solution while the other half is inspected and rinsed.

Inspect, Post-Treat & Rinse

After the primary cleaning process, we inspect the surface for areas that require extra attention. A post-treatment may be applied to address remaining organic discoloration and achieve a cleaner, more uniform appearance. This is followed by a thorough rinse.

Step 6

Step 6 graphic of HurriClean's Exposed Aggregate Cleaning & Sealing Process: the aggregate driveway is allowed to dry completely in preparation for acrylic sealer application.

Allow to Dry Completely

Proper drying is extremely important before applying an acrylic sealer. Dry time can vary based on temperature, humidity, shade, recent rainfall, airflow, and the aggregate’s condition. We allow the exposed aggregate adequate drying time so the sealer can bond properly.

Step 7

Step 7 graphic of HurriClean's Exposed Aggregate Cleaning & Sealing Process: the cleaned, dried aggregate driveway being inspected once more and any remaining dirt and dust blown off.

Final Surface Preparation

Before sealing, we perform another surface inspection and remove any remaining dirt, debris, or contaminants. The exposed aggregate must be completely clean, dry, and properly prepped so the acrylic sealer can achieve its full potential for aesthetics and durability.

Step 8

Step 8 graphic of HurriClean's Exposed Aggregate Cleaning & Sealing Process: the 30% solids Acrylic Concrete Sealer is rolled on to the exposed aggregate to ensure complete and even sealer coverage of the textured surface.

Apply Penetrating Sealer

After final prep work is complete, we apply a professional-grade 30% solids acrylic concrete sealer. To ensure complete coverage, we roll it on, rather than spray it on. Rolling allows us to control the amount of sealer being applied and work it evenly across the textured surface.

Step 9

Step 9 graphic of HurriClean's Exposed Aggregate Cleaning & Sealing Process: after the sealer application is complete the sealer must be allowed time to cure before the aggregate can be walked on, etc.

Allow Sealer to Cure

After sealing, proper time is required to cure. During the curing period, it should remain free from vehicle & foot traffic, water, and anything the sealer manufacturer cautions against. HurriClean provides clear instructions on when the aggregate can safely resume regular use.
