Franklin, Tennessee is known for its charming neighborhoods, tree-lined streets, and well-maintained homes. Whether you live in Westhaven, Fieldstone Farms, McKay’s Mill, Ladd Park, or anywhere in Williamson County, maintaining your property’s exterior is part of preserving Franklin’s appeal. One of the most overlooked yet essential tasks for homeowners is regular driveway cleaning—and in a humid area like Middle Tennessee, it’s not just for looks.
At MBM Pro Wash, we specialize in safe, eco-friendly driveway pressure washing that keeps your property clean, welcoming, and above all, safe.
✅ Why Franklin Driveways Get Slippery
Franklin’s humid Southern climate means moisture sticks around—especially in shady driveways or spots with tree cover. That moisture fuels the growth of:
Mold
Algae
Lichen
Grime buildup
Combine that with Tennessee pollen, auto oil leaks, and muddy footprints, and your concrete surface quickly becomes a slick, dangerous hazard.
Homeowners in Cool Springs, Thompson’s Station, and Brentwood frequently call us after experiencing near slips or noticing their driveway darkening from grime and biological growth.
🛑 The Dangers of a Dirty, Slippery Driveway
A neglected driveway isn’t just unattractive—it’s unsafe. Here's why cleaning your concrete matters:
Slip-and-fall risk for you, your family, or guests
Increased liability if someone is injured
Tire and traction issues for vehicles
Erosion or staining that becomes permanent
Tracked-in grime damaging interior floors
Whether you're hosting a backyard cookout or putting your Franklin home on the market, clean concrete adds curb appeal and eliminates risk.

🗓 When’s the Best Time to Clean Your Driveway?
Spring and fall are ideal times for driveway cleaning in Franklin. Pollen buildup in the spring and wet leaf decay in the fall both contribute to staining and slick spots. Cleaning before the heat of summer or the cold of winter ensures your driveway stays in good shape year-round.
If your driveway is shaded or exposed to moisture often, we recommend cleaning twice per year.
