Concrete in Silverwater carries four stains that need four approaches. The subdivision sits in south Meridian between Meridian Road and Locust Grove south of Victory in 83642, and it is platted 2014–2017 across 3 phases and now fully built. It runs about 47 acres. Sprinkler water comes off the Boise Project Board of Control's system, not the city main.

The thing that shapes this job most is that Silverwater is platted 2014–2017 across 3 phases and now fully built (ZIP 83642, about 47 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 valley dust, plus the winter inversion that holds particulate down at ground level for weeks at a time settling into the surface pores, and you have four stains that respond to four different approaches. On Silverwater 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. At about 47 acres, Silverwater is small enough that neighbours booking together is genuinely cheaper for everyone.
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. Silverwater is inside our standard 83642 service area — no travel surcharge.
Silverwater is on our regular Meridian route, not a special trip. We already work E Boardwalk Row Dr, E Ionia Dr, S Standing Timber Way and E Gannett Dr inside the subdivision. It routes off Victory, which is how we keep travel out of the price. If you can tell us the nearest cross street we can usually place you immediately and quote without a site visit. Where a property is unusual — a lot of divided lites, difficult access, a steep lot — we would rather come and look than guess at a number you would then have to have corrected.
Most Silverwater customers book this alongside house washing. Partly that is price — one visit rather than two — and partly it is sequence. Washing walls after cleaning glass puts dirty water back on clean panes, and hanging lights before clearing gutters means working around your own strands in January. We handle the order so you do not have to think about it.

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.
