Spartanburg concrete picks up pollen in Converse Heights and Hampton Heights the same weeks the cars turn yellow, late March through April. That film is mostly loblolly pine pollen. Red clay is the second layer: narrow side drives in Duncan Park–Forest Hills and Fernwood track Piedmont clay onto the apron after rain, and shaded slabs grow a dark mildew outline by summer. Spartanburg County does not use Greenville County's stormwater ordinance. The water still runs downhill to a drain, so ask how the pro keeps the rinse out of it.
Pressure is appropriate on sound concrete and a poor idea on the siding next to it. If the house is green and the drive is orange, they are two methods on one visit, not one machine setting. Old oil in a downtown-adjacent driveway often survives a single pass. A fresh drip has a better chance.
Published ranges are $100–$250 for a typical driveway ($0.20–$0.40 per square foot), up to about $500 for a large or oil-stained one, and $100–$200 for a patio. That is a national cost-guide range; local quotes vary. There is no Spartanburg-only concrete price list in those guides. Listings rank up to three Top Spots, then Featured, then the rest. The $40 deposit is credited to the job.

Soft wash vs. pressure wash
Sound concrete in Spartanburg is where higher pressure belongs. A driveway in Converse Heights or Hampton Heights can take it. Siding and asphalt shingles should not. If the house is being washed the same day, that part is a soft wash. Oil that has soaked in may ghost after the slab dries. Spartanburg is in Spartanburg County. Ask how wash water is kept out of storm drains. Greenville County's illicit-discharge rule is not the ordinance here.
