Concrete in Dartmoor carries four stains that need four approaches. The subdivision sits in southeast Meridian south of Victory, between Eagle Road and Cloverdale in 83642, and it is an established 1980s–90s neighborhood, recorded 1994–1995 on one plat. Sprinkler water comes off the Boise Project Board of Control's system, not the city main. It runs about 79 acres.

Start with the build stage — Dartmoor is an established 1980s–90s neighborhood, recorded 1994–1995 on one plat (ZIP 83642, about 79 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. On Dartmoor lots that water comes off the Boise Project Board of Control's pressurized line, which is why the problem shows up street-wide rather than house by house.
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. Dartmoor routes off Victory, 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. Tell us you are in Dartmoor off Victory and we can place you immediately.
Dartmoor is on our regular Meridian route, not a special trip. We already work E Kingsbridge Dr, E Darlington Dr, E Kingsbridge St and S Terri Pl inside the subdivision. It routes off Victory, 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.
Pressure removes dirt. It does not remove deep oil that has soaked into the slab, it will not restore spalled or crumbling concrete, and we will not blast colour off stamped or sealed surfaces to make a before-and-after look better. We are locally owned and fully insured, and we would rather point you to the right trade than take work we cannot finish well.

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.
