Star has been turning farm ground into neighborhoods at a pace nowhere else in the valley matches, and spring is when both halves of that transition show up on your windows at once. Active build sites throw concrete and drywall dust while Canyon County farmground on the northwest wind throws spring disking dust from the same direction.
Field dust off Canyon County farmground, disked and planted from March through May, is abrasive mineral grit and must never be wiped off dry, or it scratches. Construction dust is alkaline and sets slightly when wet, so rinsing smears it into a haze. A Star property on the boundary between a build phase in Norterra or Cranefield and working ground next door gets both, and neither responds to a garden hose.
A newly completed Star house very often still carries mortar specks, stucco splatter, adhesive, and label residue from construction. That is a different job from routine cleaning and it should be handled before summer bakes it on, and not attacked with a blade by someone who has not checked whether the glass is tempered. If the concrete driveway alongside it was poured in the last 28 to 30 days, that's a separate hold-off, since fresh concrete is still curing.
New subdivisions come with new irrigation, installed to a plan and never yet observed through a full season, running off untreated Boise River canals and laterals from roughly mid-April through mid-October. Spring start-up is the moment to walk every zone and see where the heads actually throw, because on Star's small, new lots the heads often sit close enough to the foundation to fire straight at the house. That ten minutes determines how much hard water damage the glass takes by August.
Newly planted landscaping means gutters fill slowly, so the interval can genuinely be longer than in older parts of the valley. It does not mean never. Construction debris and wind-blown grit still collect, and along Floating Feather Road and other river-bottom parcels, mature cottonwoods add real seasonal debris that a brand-new interior lot doesn't see.

It's alkaline and sets slightly when wet, so hosing it smears it into a haze rather than removing it, especially near an active build phase in a growing subdivision like Cranefield or Norterra.
Often yes. New glass frequently carries mortar, stucco splatter, and adhesive residue that routine cleaning does not address, and much of it is tempered glass that shouldn't be scraped without checking first.
Less often than in mature neighborhoods, but not never. Construction debris and wind-blown grit still collect, and river-bottom lots near Floating Feather Road pick up real cottonwood debris a fresh interior lot doesn't.
At spring start-up, before it has run a full season unobserved. On Star's small, new lots the heads often sit close to the house, so it's the cheapest hard water prevention available.
Not right away. Concrete needs about 28 to 30 days to cure. Washing it too early can open the surface and make it more likely to absorb the next stain instead of shedding it.
