Winterizing your irrigation is very important to prevent damage over the cold, long winter that if forgotten or improperly done could lead to extra money spent on repairs.

Irrigation Winterization

Homeowners have tried to winterize their system using the compressor found in their garage rather than seeking out a professional. At Barrett Lawn Care, we do not advise this as there are significant differences between a home compressor and our commercial grade machine. Most home owners will have a ¼” hose where at Barrett Lawn Care, Inc. we use a ¾” hose for our compressor. Despite your home compressor and our commercial compressor sharing the same amount of pressure, 80 PSI, the volume will be much different. These differences will determine degree of time and potential damage to an improperly blown out system. It would take minimum 8 hours to blow out your system, your whole Saturday, with the smaller hose. With our commercial grade materials we can successfully complete the task in around 30 minutes. Another downside of do-it-yourselfers is there is no guaranteed removal of all the water from the lines, as there is simply not enough air going through the system to force the water out. If water remains it can cause freeze breaks. Winter damage will require Barrett Lawn Care to dig into your beautiful lawn to find and repair issues as a result of improper blow-outs and winterization.

To avoid headaches and time loss, call Barrett Lawn Care to schedule your winter blow-out and ensure a properly functioning system in spring to give your grass a great start to a green year!

"Above and Beyond"

"We (my husband and I) could not be happier with the work of the Barrett team. From the very beginning, they consistently went above and beyond. When we had them come out to quote us on our idea for landscaping, the designer had recommendations for us that were very innovative and greatly enhanced the vision we had in the first place for our backyard patio/bonfire pit. They provided a fair quote, answered our questions in a timely manner, and the team that worked on our project was diligent, hard-working, detail-oriented, as well as friendly whenever we would talk briefly. Most importantly, our patio/bonfire pit turned out absolutely perfect. We get compliments constantly from friends/family of what an amazing job was done on this project. I cannot say enough great things about this company. If you want high quality, time-efficient, fairly priced work done to your yard, this is where you want to be. We are already looking at other projects that Barrett can help us with in our yard and we look forward to working with them in the future."
