Why Volusia County Fences Turn Green

Florida's warm, humid climate allows algae and mold to colonize fence surfaces within a single rainy season. The green discoloration that develops on vinyl fences — and the gray-black growth on wood fences — is biological growth that spreads if not addressed.

Vinyl fences are particularly susceptible to algae growth. The smooth surface of vinyl provides an ideal substrate for algae colonization, and the green discoloration that develops makes even new fences look old and neglected. Vinyl fences in shaded areas can turn completely green within 6–12 months of installation.

Wood fences develop both algae and mold, creating a gray-black discoloration that accelerates wood degradation. Biological growth on wood fences holds moisture against the surface, promoting rot and shortening fence life. Regular cleaning extends wood fence life significantly and is required before staining or painting.

Aluminum and chain link fences develop oxidation and staining that dulls the finish and creates a neglected appearance. Aluminum fences near the coast develop salt deposits that accelerate oxidation.

HOA compliance. Fence appearance is one of the most commonly cited HOA violations in Volusia County's neighborhoods. Algae-covered or discolored fences are visible from the street and trigger inspection notices. We provide written documentation of all cleaning services for HOA compliance purposes.

Our Fence Cleaning Process

We use appropriate pressure and cleaning solutions for each fence material:

Vinyl fences respond well to soft washing — low-pressure application of a biodegradable cleaning solution that kills algae and mold at the root. High pressure can warp vinyl panels and damage fence posts. The cleaning solution does the work; pressure is only used for the rinse.

Wood fences require careful pressure management to avoid raising the wood grain or damaging the surface. We use appropriate pressure for the wood species and condition, with cleaning solutions that kill biological growth without bleaching the wood. After cleaning, we can apply a wood brightener to restore the natural color.

Aluminum and chain link tolerate higher pressure and benefit from a thorough rinse to remove oxidation and staining.

Before Staining or Painting

If you are planning to stain or paint your wood fence, professional cleaning is required first. Stain and paint manufacturers require clean, dry surfaces for proper adhesion. Washing removes biological growth, gray weathering, and organic debris that prevent stain from penetrating properly. Staining over biological growth causes the stain to fail prematurely.

Extending Fence Life

Regular cleaning is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend fence life. Biological growth holds moisture against fence surfaces, promoting rot in wood and corrosion in metal. Removing biological growth regularly — every 2–3 years for most Volusia County fences — significantly extends the service life of any fence material.
