A wood or cedar fence fights UV on the sunny side and lake humidity on the shaded side. We clean and seal both faces so it stops greying, warping, and rotting — and keeps that rich, finished look.
A fence is the one piece of wood on your property that faces in two directions at once. Around Greers Ferry Lake the south- and west-facing side bakes and fades under Arkansas sun, while the shaded side stays damp from lake humidity and grows mildew. Seal only the pretty side and the back keeps soaking up moisture — that's how fences cup, warp, and rot from the inside out. We clean and coat both faces so the whole board is protected.
As a soft-wash company, the cleaning is where we earn our keep. We lift the grey oxidized layer, kill mildew and algae, and flush out the dirt packed into the grain. Cedar gets special care — it's soft and its natural tannins bleed, so it needs the right chemistry and a gentle touch, not a high-pressure blast that fuzzes the wood. Once the boards are clean, dry, and brightened, we seal them with a penetrating, UV-resistant stain built for this lake climate.
This page is part of our staining and sealing services. If your fence just needs a wash for now, see deck and fence cleaning instead.
Privacy, picket, ranch rail, and cedar — if it's wood and it's out in the weather, we protect it.
Tall board fences are mostly surface area facing the sun. We coat front and back so they don't fade on one side and rot on the other.
Cedar is soft and rich but bleeds tannin and fuzzes easily. We use cedar-safe chemistry and gentle technique to keep that warm tone.
Open rail and ranch-style fencing around lake property gets full coverage on every rail and post for an even, finished look.
Lots of edges and gaps to coat properly. We get into every face and corner so pickets don't grey out where it's hard to reach.
Posts sit in the ground where moisture wicks up, and gates take the most handling. Both get extra protection where it counts.
We clean and seal in one visit. The boards are properly prepped before the sealer goes on, so it actually bonds and lasts.
Strip mildew, grey oxidation, and ground-in dirt from both faces with cedar-safe chemistry, then brighten the grain.
Let the wood reach the right moisture level, mask adjacent plants and surfaces, and check for boards that need attention.
Apply a penetrating, UV-resistant stain to every face and edge — front, back, posts, and gates — for full protection.
Fence staining is one of three wood staining services we offer around Greers Ferry Lake. See them all on our staining and sealing page, or jump to deck staining or log home staining.
Yes — and it matters. Sealing only one side lets the other keep absorbing lake humidity, which causes cupping and rot. We coat both faces, the posts, and the gates so the whole fence is protected.
It is. Cedar is soft, fuzzes under high pressure, and bleeds tannins. We use cedar-safe chemistry and a gentle touch to clean it without damaging the surface, then seal it to lock in that warm tone.
New wood often needs time for mill glaze and moisture to settle before it accepts a sealer well. Send photos and we'll tell you whether it's ready now or worth waiting a bit.
It depends on sun exposure, but a properly cleaned and sealed fence around Greers Ferry Lake holds up far longer than one that was just coated over dirt. We'll recommend a realistic maintenance interval for your fence.
