Fences, big lots and old trees

Friendswood grew up as a quiet town of larger lots, mature oaks and pines, and long runs of wooden fence. That mix decides what most Friendswood homeowners need cleaned. Shade from old trees keeps fences, north walls and driveways damp, and damp wood and concrete go green and gray within a couple of summers.

Fences are where most damage is done. A narrow, high-pressure tip held close to cedar or pine raises the grain, leaves fuzz and carves lines into the boards. The right way is a wood cleaner that loosens the gray and green, then a wide tip at low pressure to rinse it away. Done well, the fence comes back to the color of new wood and can take a stain. Done badly, it looks worse than before and has to be sanded.

Driveways under oaks

Oak leaves and acorns leave brown tannin marks on concrete that a pressure washer alone will not lift. They need a cleaner made for tannin stains, and algae in shaded strips needs its own treatment before a surface cleaner evens out the whole slab. Ask for both if your driveway sits under trees.

After high water

Clear Creek and Coward's Creek have flooded parts of Friendswood more than once, most memorably during Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Silt and mud left on patios, garage floors and lower walls should be cleaned with the right products, not just blasted around, because floodwater can carry sewage and chemicals.

Before you hire

Ask how the company cleans wood fences, whether it treats tannin and algae stains, and for proof of liability insurance, since Texas does not license pressure washing. See fence cleaning and driveway cleaning.

Common questions

Can a wooden fence be pressure washed without damage?

Yes, with a wood cleaner first and a wide tip at low pressure. A narrow high-pressure tip held close will raise the grain and scar the boards.

Why won't the brown stains come off my driveway?

Those are usually tannin stains from oak leaves. They need a tannin cleaner; pressure alone will not remove them.

Should I stain my fence after cleaning?

Cleaning is the best time, once the wood has dried for a few days. Stain protects it from graying again.

Is pressure washing licensed in Texas?

No. Ask for proof of liability insurance and a written quote.
