Get The Best Deck Cleaning In Tennessee
Brentwood backyards are built for living — wide decks under the trees, stone patios, pool decks made for long evenings, and long runs of privacy fence setting the whole property off. The problem is that almost all of it lives in the shade. Shade and Tennessee humidity turn deck boards slick with algae, creep mildew up the north runs of fencing, gray out wood that was golden a few seasons ago, and leave pool decks slippery right where people walk barefoot. American Pressure Washing cleans Brentwood's outdoor living spaces the careful way: the right detergents, and pressure matched to the material in front of us, so everything comes back bright without a splinter raised or a line etched.
We're veteran-owned, based minutes away in Franklin, and rated 5.0 stars from 176 Google reviews. Owner Dallas Matthews has been in exterior cleaning since 1983 — long enough to know that wood, stone, and composite each forgive nothing, and that the only safe way to wash any of them is to know the material before the water ever turns on.

Wood, stone, and composite each need a different touch
There is no single setting that washes a Brentwood backyard. Blast a wood deck and you raise the grain and fur the boards — damage no stain can hide. Blast soft stone or its joints and you scar edges and open mortar lines. Composite shrugs off some things and stains from others, and it wants a gentler chemistry than either. So we start by reading the material: detergent selection and pressure follow the surface, never the other way around. Wood and composite get a soft wash approach — detergents doing the work at low, controlled pressure, applied evenly so there are no stripes or wand marks. Stone and paver get the process their joints and faces can take. Then everything is rinsed thoroughly, top to bottom, so the surface you get back is uniformly clean — and, if stain or seal is in your plans, ready for it.
The pool deck deserves its own word, because out there this isn't about looks first — it's about footing. Algae on a shaded pool deck is a slick film on the exact surface where kids run and everyone walks wet. A proper clean takes the slip out of it. For most Brentwood pool decks, that alone is reason enough to put the wash on a yearly rhythm.
Trusted Deck Cleaning In Tennessee
Fences — the longest run on the property
Stand at the street and a Brentwood fence looks like a boundary. Walk it, and it's the single longest surface you own — hundreds of feet of wood, much of it in shade, all of it weathering. The street side grays. The shaded side greens. And because it happens slowly, owners often see it clearly for the first time in a photograph. We wash fences the way we wash decks: detergents and controlled pressure matched to the wood, an even pass so there are no stripes, and both sides cleaned where access allows. A fence washed before staining takes the stain evenly. A fence washed just for looks stops being the oldest-looking thing on the property.
Patios get the same material-first treatment. Stone and paver joints hold mildew the way mortar holds a stain, and we clean them without blasting the joints open or scarring the face of the stone.

Deck & fence FAQs — Brentwood
Will washing damage my wood deck or fence?
Not with our process. The damage people fear — splintered, furred boards and etched lines — comes from blasting, and blasting is exactly what we don't do. We use detergents and controlled, material-matched pressure. And if we find boards that are rotted or fencing that's failing, we'll show you before we clean, not after.
Should I wash before staining or sealing?
Yes — cleaning is the essential first step, and it has to come first in the calendar, too. The wood needs to be clean and then fully dry before stain or seal goes on. We'll help you sequence it so the wash and the finishing work land in the right order.
Can you clean composite decking?
Yes. Composite gets its own gentler process, matched to the material, to lift the algae, pollen, and mildew staining that collect on it under Brentwood's canopy — without harming the finish or voiding the care the manufacturer recommends.
How often should decks, fences, and pool decks be washed?
Every 12–24 months for most Brentwood decks and fences; shaded, tree-covered lots closer to yearly. Pool decks we recommend yearly as a matter of safety — under this much canopy, the algae film comes back on a schedule, and it comes back slippery. A yearly rhythm also keeps every wash gentler, because the buildup never gets the two or three seasons it needs to dig in.
