Rock wall softwashing in Opelika Al.
A homeowner in Opelika, AL called Flyway Wash Company because she was tired of looking at her dirty rock retaining wall. The wall had a noticeable build up of organic material, and she wanted a safe, effective way to restore its appearance without damaging the stone or nearby landscaping. We scheduled the job and brought our soft washing equipment to the property to address the problem.
Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method designed to remove organic buildup from porous surfaces like rock. At the site we set up our professional soft washing system and adjusted pressures and angles so the water and cleaning solution would clean the wall without blasting or etching the stone. This approach protects the integrity of the retaining wall while allowing the cleaning solution to break down and rinse away algae, moss, dirt, and other organic residues.
Before starting, our technician checked the surrounding area to protect plants and hardscapes. We directed runoff away from sensitive landscaping and used targeted application so only the retaining wall was treated. Using our soft washing equipment, we applied the cleaning solution and followed with a gentle rinse to lift the organic buildup from the rock surface. The process removed the visible staining and restored much of the wall's natural color and texture.
The homeowner was relieved to have the unsightly buildup gone. Because we used a soft washing method, there was no heavy pressure that could harm the stone or mortar. The cleaning was thorough, and the wall looked much cleaner while remaining intact and undamaged. Our use of professional equipment helped the job move efficiently and safely.
Soft washing is a good option for homeowners in Opelika who want to clean stone or other delicate surfaces without risking damage from high-pressure washing. For this project Flyway Wash Company delivered a practical solution that focused on safety, careful application, and restoring curb appeal. If a retaining wall, pathway, or other exterior surface is looking worn from organic buildup, soft washing can often refresh the appearance without costly repairs.
We left the site clean and took care to minimize any impact on the yard. The cleaned rock retaining wall now complements the property better and requires less aggressive maintenance going forward.
