Commercial parking lot, garage floor, sidewalk, and loading-zone cleaning at hot-water surface scale. Serving every Citrus Heights neighborhood — Sacramento County.
Most commercial pavement in Citrus Heights went down between the mid-1960s and the early 1980s — the strip centers along Greenback Lane, the auto-service buildings on Auburn Boulevard where old Highway 40 ran, the parking fields poured around Sunrise Mall when it opened in the early seventies. Much of it has now carried traffic for half a century. Concrete that old is porous: the cream has worn off, the aggregate is exposed, and every oil drip since the Carter administration has had time to soak in. Cold water slides right over grime like that. Heat, degreaser dwell, and a slow surface-cleaner pass are what actually move it.
The newer stock is its own job. The big-box pads in the Stock Ranch area and the Birdcage-area retail on Sunrise Boulevard hold their finish, but they take more daily abuse — cart trains, drive-thru grease, gum at every entry. We're based a few minutes up Greenback in Orangevale, so when a Citrus Heights property manager asks for a written quote, we're usually pricing pavement we've already driven past a hundred times.
Greenback Lane carries most of the city's retail: long shared lots split between a dozen tenants, dumpster corrals tucked behind the buildings, and sidewalk runs under mature shade trees that drop leaf tannin every fall. Auburn Boulevard adds the oil-heavy work — transmission shops and tire bays whose approach slabs have absorbed decades of drips.
Around Sunrise Mall, the Sunrise MarketPlace district mixes 1970s parking field with newer outparcel pads, so one property can need two different machine setups. Add the Antelope Road neighborhood centers near Rusch Park and the Stock Ranch big-boxes, and you get the four surfaces we plan for here: old porous concrete, seal-coated asphalt, stamped accent bands, and broom-finish sidewalk.
Square footage matters less than condition. A Greenback Lane center that hasn't been cleaned since the last tenant turnover takes a restoration pass — degreaser dwell, slow overlap, detail wand on the curbs — while a lot on a quarterly rotation runs at twice the pace. Oil saturation is the next driver: Auburn Boulevard auto frontage can need multiple treatments where a Stock Ranch pad needs one.
Then there's water handling: Citrus Heights storm drains run to Arcade Creek and the city's other urban creeks untreated, so where recovery is required, containment and disposal get built into the number. Night access, gum density at entries, and sidewalks-only versus full field round it out. Every quote is free, written, and itemized — and you'll hear from us within one business day.
A typical call comes from the manager of a ten-tenant center between San Juan Avenue and Sunrise Boulevard: gum crust at the sandwich shop and nail salon doors, oil shadows in the front stalls, a dumpster corral the haulers won't back into anymore. We stage after the last restaurant closes, mat the two storm inlets, and pre-treat the corral and oil spots while the machines heat up.
Sidewalks first — gum comes off with a turbo tip behind hot water — then the field in overlapping surface-cleaner passes, then vacuum recovery at the corral. Crews are loaded out before the morning coffee traffic, leaving bare, even concrete where the gum crust was. From our Orangevale shop, the drive over is about ten minutes.
We map oil hotspots, drain points, and contain runoff per your local stormwater requirements.
Heavy oil and grease zones get a degreaser dwell so the surface cleaner can lift them in one pass.
High-volume surface cleaners run edge-to-edge for an even finish. Detail wand handles edges and curbs.
When required, we recover wash water and dispose of it per local code — keeps your property compliant.
