The flatwork in Riverstone tells you what the lot deals with. a slick green film on the shaded patio and pool surround rather than the tan cast a dry lot gets.
With a beach and lake in the middle of the community, the hardscape here stays damper than it would on a dry lot, and damp shaded concrete grows algae rather than simply collecting dust. On a pool surround or a patio near the water that is a genuine slip issue, not just an appearance one. Flatwork can take pressure, unlike the stucco on the walls above it, so this is the one place the wand is the correct tool — at $0.20 per square foot on driveways, patios, walkways and pool surrounds.
An estate lot typically carries far more hard surface than a production home: a long driveway and approach, a courtyard, patios front and back, pool surround, walkways between structures, sometimes a sport court. And it is rarely all one material — broom-finish concrete, stamped or exposed aggregate, travertine, pavers and natural stone each want different pressure. We walk it before quoting, because square footage alone on a property like this tells you almost nothing about the job.
Untreated canal irrigation throwing across a large landscaped lot leaves the same gritty mineral film on hardscape that it leaves on the bottom of your walls — especially on light-colored stone and concrete where it reads as a tan cast. It comes off, and on a big property it is worth identifying which heads are causing it, because otherwise the same band returns each season. Flatwork is $0.20 per square foot; we quote the surfaces separately so you can prioritize the approach and courtyard over the back walkways if you want.
Pressure washing is $0.20 per square foot on driveways, patios, walkways and pool surrounds. Siding is never pressure washed — that is house washing at $0.18 per square foot on a soft-wash setting, because a wand on stucco or hardboard drives water behind the finish. If somebody quotes you a pressure wash for your siding, that is a repair bill you are being sold. On a gated lot we ask for a code or a call-ahead at booking so the crew is not sitting at the entrance.

Yes, pool surrounds are priced the same as patios and driveways at $0.20 per square foot. They are also usually the surface most worth doing, because a damp shaded surround near the water grows the film that makes concrete slick.
No, and you should be wary of anyone who says yes. Siding gets soft-washed at $0.18 per square foot because a pressure wand drives water behind the finish, swelling hardboard and forcing moisture into stucco. Pressure is for concrete and paver flatwork, where the surface can take it.
Not at the pressure we work at. Aggressive washing does excavate joint sand, which is a real risk with a rented machine on a high setting. We clean the surface without stripping the joints, and if yours already need re-sanding we will tell you rather than leaving you to find out.
Those are separate from general surface cleaning and they are treated rather than blasted — oil needs a degreaser with dwell time, and rust and irrigation staining need the right product for the mineral involved. We will tell you honestly what will come out fully, what will lighten, and what is in the concrete for good.
Yes — Eagle is one of our nine Treasure Valley cities and we run it as a regular route rather than a stretch call, from the Chinden edge up into the foothills. Call or text (208) 453-6760 and we will tell you the next open slot.
Our 7-Day Rain Guarantee covers it. Rain on a clean surface is largely harmless — it is the dust it lands on that spots. If a storm genuinely undoes the work inside seven days, we come back out.
