The orange streaking on Bonito driveways is iron out of the irrigation water. The subdivision sits in southeast Meridian between Locust Grove and Eagle Road, just south of Overland in 83642, and it is platted 2003–2007 across 3 phases — mature landscaping, original windows on most homes. At roughly 93 acres it is a mid-sized pocket, and that scale is part of the quote. The Boise Project Board of Control supplies the pressurized irrigation on these lots.

Bonito is platted 2003–2007 across 3 phases — mature landscaping, original windows on most homes (ZIP 83642, about 93 acres). Flatwork here carries a specific mix. Irrigation overspray leaves a white mineral bloom along driveway and walkway edges — the same canal mineral that rings the windows. Rust-orange streaking comes from the iron in that same water, and it is a different removal problem entirely from dirt. Add vehicle drip in the driveway apron, organic darkening where a downspout discharges, and Eagle Road traffic film — brake dust and diesel particulate carried off the busiest arterial in Ada County settling into the surface pores, and you have four stains that respond to four different approaches. We see it most consistently on the homes along E Goldstone Dr.
Pressure alone does not remove irrigation rust — it just blasts the surrounding concrete lighter and makes the stain more obvious. Rust needs an oxalic or similar acid treatment, applied, dwelled and neutralized. Mineral bloom needs an acidic masonry cleaner. Both are separate line items from a standard wash, and both work far better if the sprinkler head causing them gets turned. We will show you which head it is. Bonito routes off Overland, so getting here is not a special trip.
Not everything gets the same pressure. Pavers lose joint sand if you hit them hard, and a paver patio washed aggressively will need re-sanding and may shift. Stamped and colored concrete has its color in a thin surface layer that strips. Sealed surfaces cloud. We drop pressure for all of it and tell you upfront when the honest answer is that a surface should be cleaned gently and resealed rather than blasted clean. We service Bonito on our regular Meridian route.
Bonito is on our regular Meridian route, not a special trip. We already work E Goldstone Dr, S Bonito Way, E Tarpon Dr and E Copper Point Dr inside the subdivision. It routes off Overland, which is how we keep travel out of the price. Neighbours booking on the same day is the cheapest way to do it — we are already set up on the street, so the second and third homes cost less to serve than the first. If two or three of you want it done, say so when you book and we will schedule you together.
Bundling with house washing saves a trip charge and gets the sequence right. We will tell you honestly if you do not need the second service yet — a bundle you do not need is not a saving.

Not done properly. Damage comes from a narrow tip held too close, which etches the surface permanently. A rotary surface cleaner at appropriate pressure does not do that. Pavers and stamped concrete get lower pressure by default.
Usually, yes — but with chemistry rather than pressure. Iron staining from irrigation water needs an acid treatment and a neutralizing rinse. It is quoted separately from the wash because it is genuinely separate work.
$0.20 per square foot for standard flatwork. Rust and mineral treatments are quoted on top after we see them. Booking it alongside house washing saves a trip.
An outside spigot, yes. We bring our own equipment and power. If your spigot is on the irrigation system rather than city water, let us know — we need the treated line.
