Exterior home cleaning
in Aledo.
Aledo addresses run from platted subdivisions to acreage out in Parker County, and plenty of those homes irrigate off a private well. The well decides what ends up on the house. That orange band along the bottom of the stone isn't dirt, it's iron, and it came out of your own ground.

Why Aledo homes need regular care
Iron staining runs on a clock, and the clock is your irrigation controller. A well pulls water straight out of the ground and sends it to the heads with nothing taken out of it, so every cycle throws a little iron onto the stone and the concrete. It dries in the sun. The next cycle lays more on top of it. Nobody notices the first summer. By the second there's an orange band across the front of the house at about head height, and people start assuming that's just the color of the stone. Age decides whether it comes off. Caught inside a season or two, iron lifts with a rust remover worked into the surface and rinsed at low pressure. Left for years, it's down in the pores and you get lighter, not clean. So the wash is only half the job. The other half is standing in the yard while a cycle runs and watching which heads are hitting the wall, because turning those down can do more for the house than the wash does.
The houses here
A place on acreage isn't one building. It's the house plus a shop, a barn or a loafing shed, a well house, a few hundred feet of drive, and usually a run of pipe fence along the road. The well house is the sleeper. It's small, it sits low, and it catches its own overspray from the nearest head all season. Same story for the pressure tank pad and the wall behind the hose bib. Nobody puts those on a list. The platted side of Aledo is a different job. Parks of Aledo, Morningstar, Lost Creek Ranch, Bailey Ranch and The Parks of Deer Creek are subdivisions on standard lots, mostly stone and brick fronts with two-story elevations, and in places builders are still working phases nearby. Walsh carries an Aledo mailing address and Aledo schools, but there's no well house on those lots and no iron band on the stone. What Walsh gets instead is construction dust off the phases still going in, and masonry residue the builder clean never took all the way off, which sets harder every year it sits.
What the ground does
Here's why a sprinkler stains and a bucket doesn't. A head throws a thin film of water onto the wall, and out here it dries before it can run off. The water leaves. The mineral stays. Then it happens again on the same six feet of stone, cycle after cycle, all summer. It lands on the bottom courses, the concrete apron, the garage slab, and any window sitting behind the beds. Glass is the worst of it. Iron dried onto a pane on an August afternoon hazes the surface, and soap won't lift that. Acreage makes the rest of it harder. There's no neighbor's house breaking the wind and nothing shading the west elevation after two o'clock, so the film sets fast and dust off the gravel drive and the county road sticks to whatever's still tacky. Septic matters too. The drain field and any spray heads in the yard decide where rinse water is allowed to go, and that's worth settling before anything gets wet.

True across North Texas
Hard water
It dries to a white film on glass and brick, and sprinkler overspray puts it there faster than weather does.
Two leaf drops
Live oaks hold last year's leaves through winter and drop them in spring. Cedar elm and pecan come down in November. Gutters fill twice.
Clay that moves
It swells wet and shrinks dry. A gutter overflowing at the same corner every storm is watering the ground your foundation sits on.

Common questions
Aledo exterior cleaning
The stone under my sprinkler heads has gone orange. Is that ever coming off?+
Usually, and it isn't dirt. It's iron out of your well drying on the surface. Pressure won't move it, and leaning harder just etches the stone. It takes a rust remover worked into the surface and rinsed off at low pressure. How much clears depends on age. A season or two of it tends to come back to clean. Years of it has soaked into the pores and lightens instead. Either way it comes back unless the heads change, so we'll stand out front with you while a cycle runs and point at the ones throwing onto the wall.
We're on a well and a septic system. Does that change how you work?+
Two things. First, water. Your pressure tank isn't sized to feed a wash rig for two hours in August, so we settle the water source at the quote, not when we pull up. Second, runoff. If you've got a drain field or spray heads in the yard, rinse water carrying stripped iron and cleaner shouldn't sit on either one. We figure out where the ground drains before anything gets wet, and we work around the heads rather than over them. If you've got a filter or softener discharging outside, tell us where that goes too.
Our address says Aledo but we're in Walsh. Do you cover us, and does any of this apply?+
We cover you, and mostly no. There's no well feeding your sprinklers, so the orange band isn't your problem. Yours are the ones that come with a development still building out. Fine construction dust lands on the lower elevation, the porch ceiling and the glass, and it keeps coming as long as there's work going in nearby. The bigger one is masonry residue left from the build. It sets harder every year it sits, so it's worth taking off early rather than late.
The shop, the barn and the well house are more roof than the house is. What's actually in the plan?+
The plan covers the house, and it's priced off the house, not the land. Five acres costs the same as one. Outbuildings aren't a plan line, so a shop, a barn or a well house gets quoted as its own job. Each one is its own roof, its own gutters and its own walls, and pretending otherwise just produces a bad number. Long runs of pipe fence work the same way. List them on the quote form and you'll get a price per structure instead of one guess covering everything.
