Have you started putting together a list of things that need to be done before the cold weather hits? Don’t forget one of the most important tasks to close up shop for winter; the fall blowout. In climates such as ours, there is an annual need to “winterize” sprinkler systems. With autumn on its way, we Minnesotans better prepare now because before we know it the cold will be here for its long, deep freeze. Ready to schedule a fall blowout for your home or business? Give us a call today. Here at Classic Lawnscape we are the trusted name in sprinkler systems for Shoreview and the surrounding areas and can help get your system ready for the months ahead. 

Why schedule a fall blowout? 

Freezing temperatures can do some major damage to a sprinkler system that still has water in its pipes; so winterizing will help you avoid potentially costly repairs. Here is how the experts at Classic Lawnscape can help prepare sprinkler systems for the months ahead:

• Turn off the water that feeds your lawn sprinkler system. After locating the master shut-off valve we will be actively preventing water from massing within your pipes.
• Drain the remaining water from the sprinkler system. Your hose bib will be pried open to allow free flow. A bucket will catch all of the water that runs from your pipes.
• An air compressor will be employed to drain the overall network. After choosing the area of your lawn that is furthest out from your home, we will work our way back in towards it. Your sprinklers will run for two to three minutes, allowing all water to drain properly.

Who should perform a fall blowout?

This is a process that must be performed by professionals! It is vital that it is done correctly and with care. Besides, life is quite hectic, and caring for your lawn and landscape is very time-consuming. Why not let our team of professionals take some of that work off of your plate?

Are you hoping to keep your lawn green this summer? The best way to do so is with an irrigation system. No longer are professionally installed irrigation systems only to be found on golf courses and the grounds of upscale mansions. With advances in technology, they’ve become affordable, convenient and energy-efficient options for every homeowner. Here at Classic Lawnscape, we specialize in irrigation systems for Blaine area residents and look forward to telling you more about how one can help enhance your local landscape.

Irrigation systems are designed to deliver just the right amount of water and reduce any waste that occurs when you water by hose. It’s a great way to save money and time while keeping your lawn or garden healthy and green with minimal effort. When properly installed, maintained and repaired by professionals an irrigation system can be a great benefit to homeowners.

Installing an irrigation system may seem costly, but it offers many advantages worth considering, including:

• Reduced water usage. Irrigation systems are calibrated to use only as much water as is needed. This cuts down on waste when you water by hand and lowers your water bill. They also reduce soil erosion and water runoff.
• Less work. One of the primary benefits of an automated lawn irrigation system is that it does the watering for you, saving you considerable time. Being automated, you won’t have to worry about your lawn being under- or overwatered. You also don’t need to be present when your lawn is watered, meaning if you’re on a business trip or vacation, you will come back to your lawn looking lush and green.
• Weed reduction. Drip irrigation systems direct water to the plant’s roots instead of watering the entire garden. This means surrounding weeds don’t receive the water they need to thrive, so you’ll spend less time weeding.
• Even watering. When installed by professionals like Classic Lawnscape ensure the entire lawn receives adequate water. The nozzles are placed in such a way that they distribute water evenly across the landscape while ensuring that even hard-to-reach areas are covered.
• And more.

With a smart irrigation system, you conserve water by using the precise quantity needed for the task. Installing an irrigation system on your property has many benefits. It not only leads to a greener and healthier lawn but will save you time and money as well.
