We clean dock surfaces with water only — no chemicals, no soaps, nothing that ends up in the lake. Just controlled pressure on the decking, rails, and structure above the waterline.
Most pressure washing operations use soap, degreasers, or chemical brighteners. When you're working on a dock that sits over open water, those products go straight into the lake — and Greers Ferry Lake is where people fish, swim, ski, and pull their drinking water. We're not putting anything into it.
We clean dock surfaces with water only. Algae, lake slime, mildew, and embedded grime come off with the right pressure, the right nozzle angle, and patience — no chemical assist required. If we can't clean it safely with water, we'll tell you that instead of using something that doesn't belong near a lake.
There's no runoff containment needed either, because there's nothing harmful in the runoff. It's just water carrying dirt — the same thing that happens every time it rains on your dock. This is the right way to clean a dock over open water, and it's the only way we do it.
Greers Ferry Lake is a Corps of Engineers reservoir and one of the cleanest lakes in Arkansas. It's used for swimming, fishing, and recreation by tens of thousands of people. Chemical runoff from dock cleaning — even "biodegradable" soaps — affects the water quality and the fish habitat. We're locals. We care about this lake. Water-only cleaning is not a limitation; it's the responsible choice.
Everything above the waterline, washed with controlled water pressure only.
The planks you walk on collect lake algae, mildew, and surface grime that make them slick and unsightly. We clean the walking surface without lifting or damaging the boards.
Rails get constant hand contact and lake spray — they hold mildew in every groove and joint. We clean all faces and surfaces so they're safe to grip and look clean.
Boat houses and covered slips trap humidity and grow algae on every shaded surface. We clean the underside, walls, and roof structure — everywhere the lake air reaches.
The structural posts and frame accumulate waterline staining and algae above the surface. We clean the above-water portions of the frame and posts to remove buildup.
Concrete or timber ramps grow algae from constant water exposure — and algae on a ramp is a slip hazard. We clean ramp surfaces and the immediate approach area.
Any platform, bench, or staging area attached to the dock gets the same water-only treatment — clean surfaces for the people using the dock, not just the boats.
Not "low chemical" or "eco-friendly soap." Zero chemicals near open water. We use controlled water pressure on dock surfaces — full stop. What runs off is water and dirt.
We live and work on Greers Ferry Lake. We fish it, swim in it, and boat on it. Keeping chemicals out of the water isn't just a policy — it's what we'd want from whoever cleaned our dock.
Aged dock wood, composite decking, and aluminum docks all need different pressure. We adjust for the material so we're cleaning it, not damaging it.
We're a soft-wash company that specializes in cleaning wood. Dock decking is one of the harder wood-cleaning jobs because of constant moisture exposure — we know how to handle it.
Working over water on elevated dock structures carries real risk. We're fully insured — for your protection and ours — on every job near the lake.
Email us photos and we'll quote the job without rolling a truck. No wasted trip for either of us, and you know the price before we ever show up at the dock.
Email us photos of the dock — decking, structure, roof if there is one, ramp if needed. We review and send back a clear price. No truck roll just to look.
On arrival we walk the dock and check the surface material, level of buildup, and any areas needing extra care. Water-only every time — we adjust pressure and angle for what's in front of us.
Controlled water pressure on every surface — decking, rails, frame, roof. Clean water in, dirty water out. No chemical residue left on the dock or in the lake.
Because the runoff goes straight into the lake. When you wash a dock over open water with soap or chemicals, there's no containment — it flows into Greers Ferry Lake. We use water only so what runs off is clean.
Yes — pressure and technique do the work. Algae and lake slime come off with the right water pressure at the right angle. It takes more skill than just spraying cleaner, but it works and it's safe for the lake.
Yes, with adjusted pressure. Composite decking and aluminum surfaces need lower pressure than old wood — we dial it down so we're not marking or damaging the material.
No — we clean above the waterline only. Below-waterline surfaces are a different scope involving different equipment and permits. We handle everything from the waterline up.
Email us photos. Include shots of the decking, any structure or roof, the ramp if you need that cleaned, and the general dock layout. We'll come back with a price — no appointment needed.
Yes. If you also need the boathouse stained or the dock deck stained after cleaning, or if the lakeside property needs a house wash, we can handle it in one visit.
Dock cleaning throughout the Greers Ferry Lake shoreline, marinas, and surrounding lake communities.
Before any solution or water touches your property, we protect it. On a wash that means masking off exterior outlets, light fixtures, and vents, and pre-wetting and protecting your landscaping — the step most cleaners skip, and exactly where water damage starts. Just as important is the chemistry: we identify every surface and match the solution to it. The wrong product on the wrong material causes real damage — a deck cleaner or brightener, for example, can discolor and streak oxidized siding, so we mask it off or address the oxidation first rather than risk it. No two properties are the same, so we assess each one and adjust the prep and the mix to the job in front of us.
Mountain View sits up in the White River and Sylamore Creek country, and plenty of folks here keep a dock or ramp on the river or down on Greers Ferry Lake. Those surfaces build up waterline slime, algae, and goose mess through the season.
We clean dock decking, rails, ladders, and ramps with water and surface-safe methods — never harsh chemicals near the water. About half an hour from our Fairfield Bay base.
Other exterior cleaning we offer in Mountain View: soft washing, house washing, roof cleaning, pressure washing, concrete & driveway cleaning, deck & fence cleaning. We also serve nearby Fairfield Bay and the wider Greers Ferry Lake area.
