Professional Sprinkler System Winterization

In Central Oregon, winter temperatures can freeze irrigation lines and crack valves, pipes, and sprinkler heads. Our winter irrigation blowout clears trapped water from every zone and prepares your system for the season.

We always send a licensed irrigation professional—not all companies do. We use calibrated compressed air at safe PSI/CFM and visually confirm each zone is fully blown out.

Most blowouts happen late October through early November, depending on the weather.

What’s Included

  • Zone-by-zone blowout using calibrated compressed air
  • Shut down irrigation at the main valve
  • Set controller to winter/off and note any programming issues
  • Visual confirmation that each zone has evacuated water sufficiently
  • Quick checks for obvious issues (cracked heads, exposed lines, leaks)
  • Written follow-up if anything needs attention

Pricing

$95 for up to 4 zones (minimum). Each additional zone is $10. Simple, straightforward, and no surprise fees.

We charge an additional $10 fee for Terrabonne, Bend, and Powell Butte, and Crooked River Ranch.

This does not include discounts or coupons. Any coupons / discounts will change the above price for only one season unless otherwise stated.

Minor, on-the-spot adjustments are included when feasible. Larger repairs are quoted separately.

Pre-Visit Checklist

  • Ensure we can access the irrigation controller and backyard zones
  • Know where your irrigation shutoff is (if different from the main)
  • Clear access to the backflow preventer (usually on the exterior wall)
  • Secure pets and unlock side gates

New customers: We like to meet you in person on the first visit. If you can’t meet, please be available by phone during your window.

We’ll leave your system safely off for winter. Please avoid turning the controller back on or opening any valves until spring startup.

Winterization FAQs

Do I need to be home?

For returning customers, not necessarily—if we have access to your controller and zones. For first-time customers, we prefer to meet in person; if that’s not possible, please be available by phone.

Is it safe to use compressed air?

Yes—when done correctly. We use safe PSI/CFM, cycle zones, and avoid dead-heading lines. (Dead-heading means forcing air against a closed valve or blocked line with nowhere for the air/water to exit—something we avoid to protect your system.)

What if it’s already cold?

Unless the ground is frozen down pretty deep, we can usually still blow out the system to reduce further/possible damage.

Do you offer ongoing reminders?

We default to annual service—winter blowout and spring startup—so you’re covered each year without extra steps. Also, Yes! We Email every season and make sure you are scheulded.
