Recent summers in Vancouver, Washington have been drier than usual, making your sprinkler system work harder than ever. As the air turns crisp and we welcome fall, you may simply be thinking that it’s time to give your sprinkler a well-deserved rest. While that’s true, preparing your sprinkler system for winter takes more than shutting it down and opening the drain valve. Without proper irrigation winterization, your system can retain small amounts of water within the system. When freezing weather arrives, water in pipes and fixtures freezes and expands, causing permanent damage to the working parts of your sprinkler system.
Bundle up this winter confident your sprinkler lines are ready to weather the cold.
Sprinkler Winterization prevents time-consuming repairs in Spring.
Sprinkler winterization is much cheaper than having to pay to repair pipes in Spring.
Here’s the deal: We don’t do contracts. We earn your business on every visit. We want you to be totally thrilled with our service. So absolutely delighted that you will recommend us to your friends and neighbors. Frankly, we want to take care of your lawn forever. You are the judge, if our work is not excellent we will re-do the item in question for FREE. If you are still not happy, you will not owe us a single penny for that service.
Crazy, right? We thought so. In fact, if we were not the company we claim to be, that guarantee would probably cost us a small fortune. So we’re proud of that.

Simple Lawns
Simple Lawns and Landscape Design is a full-service landscaping company serving Vancouver and the surrounding Washington and Oregon areas. Our services for residential and commercial landscapes include professional sprinkler winterization. By completely evacuating the water from your irrigation system, the potential damage caused by ice is eliminated. Our experience and professional tools make it possible to leave your sprinkler system completely dry without causing damage, so you can relax for the winter with the confidence your system will be in full working order when spring arrives.
It’s our goal to provide local residents and business owners with high-quality landscaping services that will keep outdoor spaces healthy and attractive. Your sprinkler system is made up of a network of pipes and fixtures. 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:
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.
