Plant/shrub protection while pressure washing
I plan to pressure wash the outside of my two story home in the near future.
What is the best method of protecting plants and shrubs from water damage during this process. I have numerous large and small plants that are are right next to the exterior walls. Thank you, Bob |

I seen in my neighborhood these guys PW a house. Within 15 minutes of covering the shrubs with plastic, the direct sun burnt the shrubs, I'm talking brown. A breathable tarp or drop cloth would be best. My neighbor was not a happy camper. |

I do not cover mine. Just rinse the thoroughly and immediately if you use soap or bleach. |
