A Completely Reasonable Conversation with My Driveway

by | Jul 12, 2025 | Uncategorized

Me:
Hey.

Driveway:
Hey.

Me:
You, uh… look different.

Driveway:
Do I?

Me:
Yeah. Sort of… darker. Grimmer. A little crusty?

Driveway:
Thanks. You’ve been stepping on me for years.

Me:
Fair. But still, I feel like we used to have a better… thing going. Less moss. Fewer oil stains. No actual ecosystem forming in the cracks.

Driveway:
Times change.

Me:
Have you considered driveway cleaning yorkshire?

Driveway:
Have you?

Me:
Touché.


Then I walked to the backyard, where my patio pretended not to notice me.

It used to be a cheerful space. Sunlight. Potted plants. Even a small BBQ that I used once and then never cleaned properly.

Now?

The patio has developed a film. A vibe. If it had a soundtrack, it would be slow jazz and mild guilt. I slipped on it last week and pretended I meant to do it. It’s that kind of patio now.

Patio cleaning yorkshire pops into my head every time I almost fall. Like a ghost. A helpful, judgmental ghost holding a pressure washer.

I nod at the patio.

It says nothing.

But it knows.


And then… the roof.

Oh no.

I look up. The roof looks back down. It has grown things. Not cute things. Not intentional plants. But green stuff that clings and spreads and waves slightly in the breeze. I think it’s trying to speak. I don’t want to hear what it has to say.

Last week I saw a squirrel vanish into it. I haven’t seen him since.

I wonder if roof cleaning yorkshire includes search and rescue.

Maybe.


Later, I sit at my laptop, wondering if I’m a bad person for letting every outdoor surface I own slowly dissolve into a soft, damp mess.

I type in “pressure washing yorkshire” just to see what would happen.

I don’t click anything.

I just look at the results and whisper, “Soon.”


The thing is, nothing looks that bad all at once. It happens slowly. A bit of moss here. A patch of grime there. And then suddenly your patio looks like a biology experiment, your driveway is absorbing light, and your roof might be alive.

That’s when you think: maybe I’m not just “weathering naturally.”
Maybe I’m neglecting things that deserve better.
Like my patio.
And probably that squirrel.

Anyway, this blog isn’t a guide. Or a sales pitch. Or a top-10 list. It’s just me and my hard surfaces having some tough conversations.

Eventually, I’ll clean them.
Or hire someone who knows what they’re doing.
Someone with a hose and a mission.

But for now, I sit here.
Thinking.
Listening.
Waiting for my roof to blink.
