The orange streaking on The Legends driveways is iron out of the irrigation water. It sits in Boise south of Chinden, between Eagle and Park Center in 83713, and it is twenty-odd years old, recorded 1995–2001 across 6 phases. It covers about 119 acres, large enough that we route it as its own stop, and that scale is part of the quote.

Flatwork here carries a specific mix. Irrigation overspray leaves a white mineral bloom along driveway and walkway edges. Rust-orange streaking comes from the iron in that same water and is a different removal problem entirely. Add vehicle drip in the apron, organic darkening where a downspout discharges, and decomposed granite off the foothills, plus the winter inversion that traps particulate at ground level for weeks at a time settling into the surface pores, and you have four stains that respond to four different approaches. Across about 119 acres the pattern barely varies here.
We run a rotary surface cleaner on flatwork rather than waving a zero-degree tip. A wand leaves striping — those parallel arcs on a badly washed driveway are wand marks etched into the cream layer, and they are permanent. Rust needs an oxalic treatment, dwelled and neutralised, not more pressure. Pavers lose joint sand if you hit them hard, and stamped or coloured concrete has its colour in a thin surface layer that strips, so both get lower pressure by default. Being this close to Chinden means the road-facing elevation is always the one that needs the most attention.
Two things drive this in Boise: untreated irrigation water off the canal system, and decomposed granite off the foothills, plus the winter inversion that traps particulate at ground level for weeks at a time. Separately each is manageable. Together they bond, and that is the condition we are actually treating on a The Legends job. If you are on W Tapatio Dr or one of the streets off it, we are likely already working nearby.
The Legends is on our regular Boise route, not a special trip. We already work W Pala Mesa Dr, N Blue Ash Ave, W Tapatio Dr and W Silverbrook Dr inside the subdivision. It routes off Chinden, which is how we keep travel out of the price. We schedule by area rather than first-come, which keeps drive time down and holds prices where they are.
Most The Legends customers book this alongside house washing. Partly that is price, partly 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.

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.

$0.20/sq ft. The final number depends on the property, and there is no contract and no membership requirement. Booking it alongside another service on the same visit is the cheapest way to do it.
Usually — but with chemistry rather than pressure. Iron staining needs an acid treatment and a neutralising rinse, quoted separately from the wash.
An outside spigot, yes. We bring our own equipment and power. If your spigot runs off the irrigation system rather than treated water, tell us.
