Many homeowners pair our pressure-washing work with other services such as lawn mowing and edging, garden maintenance, hedge trimming, minor to medium tree removal, yard and section clean-ups, gutter cleaning (one-storey), and rubbish removal. This helps keep outdoor areas maintained in a single visit.


Our exterior cleaning options cover the most common areas around homes. We offer driveway, path, and patio washing; exterior house cleaning; deck, fence, and retaining wall cleaning; and outdoor furniture, BBQ area, and small-surface washing to remove moss, dirt, and grime from everyday exterior areas.


Our before-and-after gallery highlights recent residential water blasting in Belleknowes, Māori Hill, Andersons Bay, and Kew, showcasing how a quick exterior clean can enhance the appearance of concrete, timber, and other outdoor surfaces.


Most pressure-washing jobs in Dunedin range from $100 to $450+, depending on the area size, access, and level of buildup. Smaller paths and patio sections are at the lower end, while larger driveways and multi-surface cleans are at the upper end. Pricing is confirmed after a brief on-site check.


Our team adheres to Dunedin City Council expectations for safe and responsible exterior cleaning, including managing runoff, protecting drains, and working carefully around footpaths and shared areas to ensure compliant high-pressure washing.

        Dunedin City Council Water Blasting Regulations

        Dunedin City Council Water Blasting Regulations

        Dunedin City Council (DCC) sets clear expectations to protect stormwater, waterways, and nearby landscapes during exterior cleaning. Our team plans every job in accordance with the Dunedin water blasting regulations to ensure your home is cleaned safely and responsibly.

        FORUDUNEDIN Lawn Mowing & Gardening Logo - Dunedin City Council Water Blasting Regulations Section.

        How Our Team Protects Dunedin’s Stormwater Network

        We follow Council stormwater bylaws and recognised water blasting guidelines to prevent runoff, sediment, and blasting waste from entering drains that lead directly to local streams, the harbour, and the coast. Each job is prepared to ensure drainage points are protected and contaminants are contained.

        Stormwater drain is being covered for protection before water blasting to comply with Dunedin runoff regulations.
        • Redirect runoff away from gutters and stormwater grates before washing begins.


        • Cover drain inlets with filtration to capture grit, paint chips, and loose debris.


        • Sweep and collect material removed during blasting so it can be disposed of with general rubbish.


        • Contain any chemical cleaner runoff for collection by a licensed waste contractor.


        • Follow the bylaw prohibiting “sand or water blasting waste” and “water containing cleaning products” from entering stormwater.


        • Help clients avoid enforcement actions, including fines of up to $20,000 for stormwater violations.

        How We Manage Residential Water Use & Restriction Levels

        Our team monitors Dunedin’s outdoor water-use restrictions, ensuring work is carried out in compliance with residential pressure-washing requirements. When Council adjusts water rules during dry periods, we adapt our scheduling and methods accordingly.

        Using controlled pressure washing on pavers to minimise water use and comply with Dunedin residential restrictions.
        • Conduct high-use exterior washing between 8 pm and 8 am during Level 2 restrictions.


        • Pause non-essential cleaning entirely under Level 3 restrictions, as all outdoor water use must stop.


        • Use efficient pressure settings and nozzles to reduce overall water consumption.


        • Apply low-water or dry-wash methods where suitable for lighter exterior surfaces.


        • Direct runoff onto grassed or soil areas when appropriate, allowing natural microbes to break down contaminants.


        • Keep clients informed if restriction levels change and affect their scheduled visit.

        • What surfaces can be cleaned during a residential wash?

          Driveway pressure washing in Highcliff, Dunedin, showing the types of exterior surfaces that can be refreshed.

          Most outdoor hard surfaces can be refreshed, including concrete driveways, paths, slabs, and general patio areas, as well as pavers, timber decks, fences, and ground-level exterior walls. These areas respond well to controlled exterior cleaning and usually show noticeable improvement after a focused wash.


          Smaller outdoor items can also be tidied when suitable, such as BBQ zones, garden settings, and even fridges moved outside for a quick, powerful clean to remove bacteria buildup. During the visit, the contractor confirms which items and surfaces are appropriate and selects the safest method for each one.

        • Why do you only clean lower-level surfaces and not multi-storey homes?

          Lower-level exterior washing on a home in Wakari, Dunedin, illustrating why our crew works only on ground-access surfaces.

          Our exterior-washing crew focuses on single-level properties because we operate primarily as a gardening-based service and do not use the specialist height equipment required for multi-storey work. This ensures every job is carried out safely and within the limits of our daily tools.


          Higher homes often need elevated platforms, extension systems, or long-reach soft-wash setups designed for upper cladding. Since our work centres on ground-level surfaces, we stay within this scope to maintain safe, consistent results.

        • Do I need to prepare anything before the team arrives?

          Patio washing in St Clair, Dunedin, showing a clear outdoor area prepared before the team arrives for a residential clean.

          Most homeowners simply clear movable items from the areas being refreshed, such as outdoor furniture, pots, and toys. Ensuring gates are unlocked and pets are indoors also helps the visit run smoothly.


          If a surface requires special attention or there are drainage points to be aware of, the team will let you know in advance. Any additional preparation is usually minimal and covered in your pre-visit note.

        • Do you provide WINZ quotes for exterior cleaning work?

          Deck cleaning in Waldronville, Dunedin, is shown as an example of exterior work that can be included in a WINZ quote request.

          Yes, WINZ quotes can be arranged when needed. We provide the required documentation for Work and Income so clients can request assistance with exterior tidy-ups or general outdoor cleaning.
