Gentle Fence Soft Washing in Austin, TX
Your fence frames your property and adds privacy, security, and curb appeal, but constant exposure to sun, rain, pollen, and moisture can leave it looking weathered before its time.

Apex Sun Solutions uses a low-pressure soft washing process that safely removes organic buildup while helping preserve the integrity of wood, vinyl, composite, and other fencing materials. Our biodegradable cleaning solutions target contaminants at their source instead of relying on excessive pressure that can damage the surface. Homeowners throughout Austin, West Lake Hills, Bee Cave, Lakeway, and Round Rock trust us to restore their fences with dependable service, clear communication, and a commitment to protecting the value of their property.

Plan Routine Maintenance
How Often Should a Fence Be Soft Washed?
Your fence is exposed to the same environmental conditions as the rest of your home's exterior, yet it's often overlooked until stains become obvious. Routine soft washing helps maintain its appearance while removing contaminants that can cause premature discoloration.
Residential Properties
- Every 1–2 years for most homes.
- Annual cleaning is recommended for fences surrounded by mature trees, heavy shade, or high moisture.
- Cleaning before staining or sealing creates a better surface for long-lasting results.
Commercial Properties
- Every 12–24 months, depending on environmental conditions and visibility.
- More frequent cleaning helps maintain a well-kept appearance for properties with high public exposure.

Have Questions? We Have Answers
Why is my fence turning green or black?
Green and black discoloration is typically caused by algae, mildew, mold, and moisture collecting on the surface over time. Soft washing removes these contaminants while helping prevent them from returning as quickly.
Is soft washing safe for wood fences?
Yes. Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method that safely cleans wood fencing without the risks associated with aggressive pressure washing, which can damage wood fibers or strip finishes.
How often should I have my fence professionally cleaned?
Most fences benefit from professional soft washing every one to two years. Properties with significant shade, nearby trees, or higher moisture levels may benefit from annual cleaning.
Can soft washing prepare my fence for staining or sealing?
Absolutely. Removing dirt, algae, mildew, and other contaminants creates a cleaner surface, making soft washing an excellent first step before applying stain or sealant.
Will soft washing damage my landscaping?
No. We take precautions to protect surrounding plants and landscaping throughout the cleaning process. Our biodegradable cleaning solutions and careful application methods are designed to care for both your property and the environment.
