Santos Landscaping · Alpharetta, GA
Green algae, black mildew, and slippery surfaces make Alpharetta decks unsafe and unattractive. Santos Landscaping cleans wood and composite decks safely without damaging the surface. Free estimates.

Decks in Alpharetta deal with green algae, black mildew, and tannin staining from leaf debris year-round. Shaded decks on lots backing up to wooded areas in Windward and Crabapple are particularly vulnerable because they never fully dry out between rainfalls. That continuous moisture cycle accelerates biological growth and makes wood feel slick and unsafe underfoot.
Wood decks require significantly lower pressure than concrete to avoid raising wood grain and splintering the surface. We clean with the grain at appropriate pressure that removes growth and staining without damaging the wood fibers. Composite decks from Trex, TimberTech, and similar materials are more forgiving but still require lower pressure and appropriate cleaning solutions to avoid surface dulling or streaking.
After deck cleaning is an ideal time to inspect for soft or rotted boards, loose fasteners, and railings that need attention before the surface is sealed or stained. We flag any structural concerns we notice during cleaning. Combining deck washing with a sealant or stain application extends the life of your deck significantly — call us at (770) 366-3160 to discuss what your deck needs.
