This effective process is achieved by using a brush with the proper solution and a gentle scrubbing with a thorough rinsing.

Artillery Fungus

What is Artillery Fungus?
Artillery fungus is a white, rotting, wood-decay fungus that likes to live on moist landscape mulch. The artillery fungus is technically a “Basidiomycete” fungus (like the common mushroom that we eat), and probably is most closely related to a group of fungi called Earth Stars. However, the artillery fungus is much smaller that the earth star that you may see occasionally growing in your yard. There may be other fungi and fungi-like organisms growing in your mulch. The term artillery refers to the fungus actively shooting its spores much like a cannon. These spores are shot over a short distance but the wind may carry them further and/or higher and can even travel up to the second story of a house or building.

How can I prevent Artillery Fungus from attaching to my home or nearby structures?
Use high quality mulch such as cedar and pine bark nuggets. Do not purchase bulk mulch that additives, dyes, etc. may have been added to. It is also recommended to lay down a fresh layer of mulch yearly.

Power Washing vs. Pressure Washing – Is there a Difference?

Is there a difference between power washing and pressure washing? Which is better? Which is more effective? The simple answer is that they are both better. They are both more effective, because, they are both the same thing! The name pressure washing and power washing can be used interchangeably. What is pressure but a continuous force exerting against something else? What is power but intense pressure?

Ok, so it’s okay to choose either a “Power Washer” or a “Pressure Washer”. So how do I choose the right service? Here is what to look for. Splash Power Wash, LLC covers all of the following bases…
