Anderson decks and fences around Northlake, Centerville, Midway Ridge, and Lake Hartwell Providence take pollen and lake-side moisture. WYFF described pine pollen turning Lake Hartwell yellow. The same loblolly pollen, from late March through April, sticks to rails and caps. Shaded fences then mildew in Anderson County's humid summer, especially on the side of a lot that faces the water or a tree line. Organic staining on a dock-adjacent rail is common and is still a wash, not a stain job, unless you are asking for color.
Keep pressure modest on wood. Blasting a cedar fence near the lake raises the grain and does not stop the mildew from returning if nothing killed it. Painted pickets in Centerville need an even lighter touch. Ask about plants at the fence line. Anderson County does not inherit Greenville's storm-drain rule. Runoff toward a ditch or the lake is still worth a direct question.
National guides list decks and patios around $100–$200 and fences around $150–$300. That is a national cost-guide range; local quotes vary. This page ranks up to three Top Spots, then Featured, then the rest. The $40 deposit is credited to the job.

Soft wash vs. pressure wash
Wood decks and fences in Anderson need less pressure than a driveway. High pressure fuzzes soft wood around Northlake and Centerville and leaves a surface that holds the next round of pine pollen. A mildew cleaner and a rinse with the grain is the usual approach. Composite and painted surfaces need the method that fits them. Concrete next to the deck can take more force. Anderson is in Anderson County, near Lake Hartwell. Ask how rinse water is kept out of storm drains. Greenville County's ordinance is not the local rule.
