"The workers were very good and the finishing people were very good at cleaning up. He was hard to get on the phone for a few weeks after the date he was supposed to start. Then he started talking to me. He would make promises and not hold them. The one worker said he'd be back the next day to finish the finish on the concrete and that never happened it's kind annoying. Overall no I wouldn't recommend him. Again his workers were very good and did what he asked him to do and the girl that did the cleanup was great. But is a manager a lot to be desired."
"Job was done quickly and professionally. Price was very fair and the quality was outstanding! I would highly recommend him for all your concrete needs!"
"The rains had washed the entrance to our driveway out and formed a large ditch. After almost a year of posting on some sites this company responded. They repaired and made a new entrance to our driveway. It looks wonderful. They were kind and professional. They got the job done. I give them 5 stars"
"He was great. Clean, no piercings! Polite. Worked hard, beautiful job, cleaned up afterward.
Very pleasant.
Would use again and recommend to anyone seeking concrete work."
"Clover lawn called me within 24 hours of the request. They communicated regularly with me, gave me a very reasonable estimate and stayed in touch. The job was completed above and beyond expectations, they even did a final mow after the leaves were removed - even though it wasn't part of the original estimate, without an additional charge. The yard, flower beds and driveway were immaculate. Will use again, they are excellent and very nice people."
"Eric and his crew did truly exceptional work and built a 20x20 outbuilding for us. Eric was very reliable and came on time and completed the work as expected. He returned texts and phone calls promptly. He contracted the whole project and his concrete, electrical and HVAC people were all top notch and there were no delays - everything went smooth! We are very pleased with our building and highly recommend Mid west Dirtworks for any project."
Experts typically recommend pressure washing your driveway at least once per year to keep it looking great while preventing stains, cracks, and unwanted vegetation. However, if your driveway gets a lot of use, you might want to pressure wash it more often to keep it looking like new.
The time it takes to pressure wash your driveway is mainly based on size (but your driveway’s material and condition also play a role). Small driveways can be pressure washed within an hour, medium within two hours, and large within four hours. However, this does not consider any prep time or time that sealing your driveway would take.
Whether you need to winterize your pressure washer depends on where it will be stored. If it's kept in a location where temperatures could drop to freezing, any liquid left in the water pump can freeze, expand, and cause severe damage to the machine. To prevent this, you can add antifreeze to the pump. While emptying the machine with compressed air is an alternative, it can be a tedious process and may not remove all the liquid. If you can store the pressure washer in a relatively warm place with no risk of freezing, you won't need to add antifreeze. However, regardless of storage conditions, it is good practice to empty the gas chamber and refresh the oil before storing it for the winter.
If you’re using water pressure above 2,000 PSI, you should wear a full face shield—at 4,000 PSI, a water jet can easily slice through skin. Always wear heavy-duty, waterproof gloves and rubber boots with metatarsal guards. If you’re working with hot water, make sure your gloves are insulated.
The prevention steps are essentially the same, no matter the patio material. Keep the surface clean and maintained. Ensure there's no debris buildup, and cover the whole thing in a quality sealant. If it's the start of a season or it's been a while since you've cleaned the area, use a pressure washer.
