Professional Irrigation Winterization For Your Portland, OR Sprinkler System
Fall is here, with winter soon to follow. As you prepare your home or business for the effects of winter weather, it's important to remember irrigation winterization. Your sprinkler system is a valuable investment. If water is left in your system, you could face expensive repair costs in the spring.
Protect Your Sprinkler System From Harsh Winter Weather
When frigid winter air settles into the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area, frost penetrates deep into the soil of Portland, West Linn, Lake Oswego, and Happy Valley. As the ground freezes, small amounts of water remaining in your sprinkler system can freeze as well. Expanding ice in pipes and fixtures leads to split pipes and damage to valves and fixtures.
Professional irrigation winterization services evacuate the water from your system so there's no chance for ice to form and cause damage. Simple Lawns & Landscape Design is a full-service landscaping company prepared to take care of the landscaping needs of residents and business owners in Portland and the surrounding areas. Our winterization services are performed by certified professionals with commercial tools, so you can have the peace of mind of knowing your system will be ready for spring.
Reliable Services From Highly Trained Experts
Professional irrigation winterization is more than the act of blowing water out of the system with a common air compressor. To properly eliminate all water from your system, our professional landscapers use an industrial air compressor to slowly push all the water from your system. The process is designed to avoid placing excess pressure on your system during the blowout and to completely expel any water that could cause damage during harsh winter weather. Our customers enjoy these benefits when using our irrigation winterization services:
- Our professional team has the experience and tools to safely prepare your sprinkler system for winter.
- We prioritize communication, so you always know what's going on.
- Our certified, trustworthy team takes care of all your landscaping needs, so you never need to call in multiple contractors.
- We provide optional spring services to reactivate your sprinkler system.
- Our high-quality services are performed with the strictest attention to detail, so you always have peace of mind.
Our Process is... ...Built on Consistent Communication
As a property owner, making major changes to your landscape can be a little intimidating. Inviting a group of strangers onto your property can feel like a leap of faith that leaves you in the dark until the project is complete. We want our customers to feel comfortable (and even excited) about the entire process. That's why we provide frequent communication and keep you informed with as many details as possible. Here's what you can expect when you contact Simple Lawns to take care of your landscaping project.
1. You contact us with the details of your project.
Fill out the form on our website to share some information about your property and the type of work you'd like completed. After reviewing the details on your submitted form, we get back to you within one business day to schedule an appointment, usually about a week out. We'll email you a pre-meeting document, so you'll know what to expect.
2. Design Consultation.
Your landscape designer will meet you at your property, discuss your wishes for the project, take measurements and record detailed notes about your property and project wish list. The designer you meet for the consultation will be your primary point of contact and project manager for the duration of your project.
3. Personalized design bid.
Within 24 hours of your on-site consultation, we'll send you a personalized design bid. The average project is around $1,500, depending on the size of your project. Payment for landscape design is due upfront. Upon acceptance of the bid, you'll receive a contract that you can sign online. Once the contract is signed, we get started on your design right away. You receive your initial design within 2-4 weeks. The design is to spec with a booklet of all details including material choices and layout including your drainage, hardscaping, irrigation, and more. One round of revisions is available, if necessary, to perfect your design.
4. Landscape installation bid & agreement.
Around 1-2 weeks after your design is approved, you'll receive your landscape installation bid & agreement. A 50% deposit is required at this time to secure materials and schedule the crew.
5. Work begins!
After all the paperwork is signed, our maintenance or construction crew begins work on your property. The landscape installation phase typically takes about a month, depending on the time of year. We'll show up daily (weather permitting) to work on your project until completion.
6. It's time for the big reveal!
When your project is complete, we'll walk the property together to ensure you're delighted with every detail. Final payment is due at this time.
7. We stand behind our work.
We stand behind our work with a 5-year warranty on hardscapes (installation defects), 1-year warranty on irrigation, and 90 days on plantings that are irrigated. We also offer customized maintenance plans to fit your needs. If you choose a maintenance plan, your planting warranty will be covered for 1 year.
