Marietta is not just a city we serve, it is where Sunshine is based. Our shop sits at 2250 Shallowford Rd NE in east Marietta, near Sandy Plains and Sprayberry, and Mark has been cleaning driveways, patios, and brick across this town since 2004. When you call for pressure washing in Marietta, you are hiring the local crew that lives and works here, not a franchise routing a truck in from two counties over.
Three things age a Marietta driveway faster than most places. First, Cobb County red clay: that fine iron-rich soil stains concrete, brick, and pavers a stubborn orange every time it rains or you do yard work. Second, spring pollen: the pine and oak canopy that makes this town green also coats every hard surface in yellow-green film from March into May. Third, shade and humidity: homes near Kennesaw Mountain, Sope Creek, and the older tree-lined streets stay damp, and damp concrete grows black and green algae. Hot water plus the right cleaner is what actually pulls all three out of the pores, not a cold-water rental blast.
Marietta is really two towns for a pressure washer. Around Historic Marietta and the Square, and through Whitlock and the West Side, you have older homes with real brick, soft mortar, and mature wood that a high-pressure wand will damage. Out in East Cobb, Indian Hills, and the Sandy Plains and Sprayberry subdivisions, you have newer concrete and vinyl that clean up fast. We match the method to the surface: mechanical surface cleaning on hard flatwork, gentle soft washing on brick, mortar, and anything painted.
Every job is a custom quote scoped to your property, and most Marietta driveways and walkways fall inside our standard metro Atlanta range. Because most of a job's cost is setup and travel, and we are already based here, bundling a driveway with a house or roof wash is the cheapest way to do it. For upkeep, once a year keeps the red clay, pollen, and mildew from staining for good, with a mid-year rinse if you sit under heavy tree cover or take a hard pollen season.
From the historic core to the East Cobb subdivisions, we clean the whole city. A few of the areas we are in most weeks:

Every Marietta job is a custom quote, because a stained 1980s driveway out in Sprayberry and a wide brick motor court off Whitlock are not the same job. Most driveways and walkways here land inside our standard metro Atlanta range, and Mark prices yours from a quick look or a couple of photos. Because Sunshine is based in Marietta, there is no travel premium, and bundling services brings the per-item cost down.
Yes, and it is one of the most common calls we get in Cobb County. Red clay is part dirt and part iron, so a garden-hose rinse just smears it and it comes right back. We pre-treat it, give it dwell time, and lift it with hot water and a surface cleaner so the concrete comes back to an even shade instead of that permanent orange tint.
We clean it, but never with high pressure. Older Marietta brick and its soft mortar joints erode under a pressure washer, so we soft wash it: low pressure plus a cleaning solution that lifts the algae and grime without blowing out the mortar. Heavily damaged masonry is a job for our brick and masonry restoration, and we will tell you straight which one you need.
Once a year for most homes keeps the red clay, spring pollen, and mildew from staining permanently. If you sit under the tree canopy near Kennesaw Mountain or Sope Creek, or you just came through a heavy pollen season, a mid-year refresh is worth it. We give you an honest cadence for your specific property, not a subscription you do not need.
