Why Winterize Your Sprinkler System?
Prevent Costly Freeze Damage
Water expands when it freezes, causing pipes to burst, valves to crack, and sprinkler heads to break. Professional winterization prevents these expensive repairs that can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars.
Extend System Lifespan
Regular winterization protects your irrigation investment and extends the life of your system components, saving you money on premature replacements.
Guaranteed Proper Drainage
Our irrigation specialists use professional-grade air compressors to completely evacuate water from every zone, valve, and pipe in your system. Auto-drain valves often clog with debris or leave water trapped in low spots, pipe elbows, and backflow preventers. We regularly repair freeze damage on “self-draining” systems. Professional blow-out service is the only method that removes 100% of the water.
Ready for Spring Start-Up
A properly winterized system means fewer issues during spring activation, ensuring your lawn gets the water it needs right when the growing season begins.

Additional Information
ON DREAMLAWN SERVICES – FAQ
When should I winterize my sprinkler system in Kansas City?
We recommend scheduling your sprinkler winterization in late September through early November, before Kansas City’s first hard freeze. Most systems should be winterized by mid-November at the latest. Contact DreamLawn early to secure your preferred appointment time as our schedule fills quickly in the fall.
How much does sprinkler winterization cost?
Irrigation winterization costs vary depending on the provider, but with DreamLawn, pricing starts at just $99. Our professional service helps prevent costly freeze damage, extends the life of your system, and ensures your lawn is ready for a spring.
Can I winterize my irrigation system myself?
While some homeowners attempt DIY winterization or leveraging auto-drain systems, professional service is highly recommended. DreamLawn’s irrigation specialists use commercial air compressors that achieve the proper PSI to completely evacuate water from your system. DIY methods often leave water behind, leading to freeze damage. Professional winterization also includes system inspection to identify potential issues.
My system has auto-drain valves. Do I still need professional winterization?
Yes, auto-drain valves help remove some water, but they often fail in Kansas City winters. They can clog with dirt or minerals and don’t fully drain key parts of your system. To prevent costly freeze damage, a professional blow-out with compressed air is the only way to ensure all water is safely removed.
What happens if I don’t winterize my sprinkler system?
Without proper winterization, water trapped in your irrigation lines will freeze and expand during cold winter. This causes burst pipes, cracked valves, broken sprinkler heads, and damaged backflow preventers. Repair costs typically range from $500 to over $2,000, and you may not discover the damage until spring when you activate your system.
Do you provide spring start-up services too?
Yes! DreamLawn offers complete irrigation services including spring start-up, sprinkler repair, system installation, and ongoing maintenance throughout Overland Park, Leawood, Prairie Village, and surrounding Kansas City areas. We’re your year-round irrigation partner.
How long does sprinkler winterization take?
Most residential sprinkler winterizations take 20-30 minutes, depending on your system size and the number of zones. Our irrigation specialists work efficiently to protect your system without disrupting your day.
