If you don't have one already, get a surface cleaner attachment for your pressure washer for large areas such as driveways. They save a significant amount of time and produce a better result. You can pick them up at big box stores such as Home Depot or mail order. You do need a pressure washer with a standard quick release fitting.

I have a Briggs & Stratton power washer I use for the lanai and patio concrete, the sidewalks and driveway.
