Pressure cleaning Northern Beaches. A slippery and mossy path is now safe and clean.

The entry path from this customer’s driveway to their front door was mossy, slippery and very dangerous.  When it got wet, it was actually a safety hazard for the owners and their visitors. The customer was ecstatic with the result and can now safely enter and exit their home without fear of slipping over.

custom bin storage

A custom made bin storage solution

This customer had recently moved into their new home and were disappointed to find that the only area to store their bins was on the driveway.  This limited access to the garage and  meant their teenagers weren’t able to park their cars in the driveway. With a limited budget, the customer wanted a quick and cost-effective solution so Peter suggested building up an easy access area to the side of the driveway.
