Concrete in The Landing carries four stains that need four approaches. The subdivision sits in south Meridian between Linder and Meridian Road south of Franklin in 83642, and it is a phased community rather than one built all at once, recorded 1991–2024 across 13 phases. It covers about 128 acres, enough that there is real variety in elevation and glass package, and that scale is part of the quote. Sprinkler water comes off the Boise Project Board of Control's system, not the city main.

The Landing is a phased community rather than one built all at once, recorded 1991–2024 across 13 phases (ZIP 83642, about 128 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 the I-84 band, where freeway particulate settles out onto everything within a few blocks of the interchange 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 S Canvasback Way.
We run a rotary surface cleaner on flatwork rather than waving a zero-degree tip. A wand leaves striping — those parallel arcs you see on a badly washed driveway are wand marks etched into the cream layer, and they are permanent. The surface cleaner holds even pressure across the full width and produces a uniform result. Edges and tight spots get wanded deliberately at reduced pressure to blend rather than cut. That holds across 83642 generally, not just on this plat.
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 128 acres, The Landing is small enough that neighbours booking together is genuinely cheaper for everyone.
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.
This pairs naturally with house washing, and doing both on one visit is cheaper than two separate trips — the setup and the drive are most of the fixed cost. It is also better work: there is an order these jobs should happen in, and doing them on separate days usually means doing one of them twice. Tell us what you want when you book and we will sequence it properly.

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.
