There’s still plenty of good weather left for backyard evenings, and a gray, grimy deck shouldn’t be what’s keeping you inside. A professional cleaning brings wood and stone back to life faster than a weekend of scrubbing, and it sets you up to seal before the wet season.
Short answer: We clean decks, patios, and fences with the right pressure for each surface, lifting off algae, mildew, and years of gray weathering. It restores the look, makes footing safer, and preps wood for stain or sealant.
What a professional cleaning brings back
Outdoor surfaces collect more than dirt. Algae and mildew settle into the grain, pollen cakes on, and wood slowly turns silver-gray. Cleaning it properly does a few things at once:
- 🌤️ Restores the real color of the wood or stone
- Clears the slick film that makes shaded boards a slip risk
- Removes the buildup that shortens a deck’s life
- Preps the surface so stain or sealant can actually soak in
The right touch for each surface
Wood decks and fences get a gentle, low-pressure soft wash so the boards don’t fuzz up or splinter. Concrete and paver patios can take more pressure to lift ground-in grime. Using the wrong approach is how people end up gouging their deck, so matching the method to the material matters.

Frequently asked questions
Will cleaning damage my wood deck or fence?
Not when it’s done right. We use a low-pressure soft wash on wood so it comes clean without splintering or fuzzing the grain.
Should I seal the deck after cleaning?
If the wood is soaking up water rather than beading it, sealing is a good idea. Cleaning first is essential, since sealant won’t bond over dirt and mildew.
Do you clean composite decks and fences too?
Yes. We clean composite decking, wood and vinyl fences, and concrete or paver patios, each with the method that suits it.
