What supplies the sprinklers?
An irrigation bill, notes from a previous owner or information about your supplier can help identify where the water comes from.

Sprinkler winterization in the Grand Valley.
The lawn is winding down. Your sprinkler system needs winter preparation, too. We provide sprinkler winterization in Grand Junction, Fruita and Palisade.
A seasonal task for the system beneath your yard.See why winterization matters
Before freezing weather
The water is off. What’s still inside?
Stopping the water supply doesn’t empty a sprinkler system. Water can remain in pipes, valves and sprinkler heads. When it freezes, it expands and can damage those parts. Winterization addresses that retained water before freezing weather arrives.
01
A dry lawn doesn’t tell the whole story.
Stopped sprinklers and a dry lawn don’t show you what’s left in buried lines. Ending the watering season and preparing for winter are separate tasks.
02
Prepare for the season ahead.
Winterization removes water that could freeze inside the system. Plan it alongside your fall yard work, before freezing conditions arrive.

Getting to know your system
Your water source helps tell the story.
Your sprinklers may have been there before you moved in. Knowing what feeds them and where the controls are helps you understand the setup.
- The yard may have its own water supply.
In the Grand Valley, irrigation water can come from a different provider than the water inside your home. Knowing your indoor water provider doesn’t necessarily tell you who supplies the sprinklers.
- The setup shapes the winter preparation.
Pumps, valves and backflow devices have different winter preparation needs. The water source and components help explain why winterization needs to suit the system.
A little preparation
Start with the details you already know.
You don’t need the name of every fitting. These three prompts can help you gather what you already know about your system.
02 / System
Which areas water together?
Think about the lawn or planting areas that run together. If you know the number of zones, keep that detail handy, too.
03 / Access
Where are the controls?
Note where the sprinkler timer and familiar access points are. A gate or other detail along the way can help you describe the property.

Before you book
Questions before winterization?
A few answers about your system and the next step.
Book onlineIs switching off the sprinkler timer enough?
No. Switching off the timer stops watering cycles, but it doesn’t remove water already inside pipes and sprinklers. Winter preparation needs to address that water, too.
Can I use a small home compressor for a blowout?
Compressor size alone doesn’t tell you whether a blowout is suitable or safe for your system. Air volume, pressure and the system’s components all matter. Rain Bird recommends an irrigation specialist because of the safety risks. Treat a blowout as system-specific work rather than a generic compressor project.
I just moved in. Where should I start?
Start with an irrigation bill, notes from the previous owner or the location of the sprinkler timer. Your irrigation supplier may differ from your household water provider. Those familiar details give you a useful starting point.
What happens when I choose Book online?
Blowout Boys scheduling opens through Housecall Pro. The first screen asks for your ZIP code to check coverage. Opening the screen begins that process; it doesn’t reserve an appointment by itself.
