The leaves are beautiful!
Until they are not!!
The rain is here and those crunchy golden leaves are going to morph into brown slimy rot that will kill your lawn and stain your driveway.
Get in touch today to schedule your leaf clean-up, fall pruning, irrigation winterizing, and other tasks on your outside to-do list.

* Warmer and drier than normal * is the forecast for our winter...

“Official NOAA Winter Outlook issued today. As expected, looks pretty mild for the Pacific Northwest. 😒”

BEST EMAIL OF THE DAY!
We're working hard to schedule all the sprinkler blowouts! For the most thorough winterizing service, we use the timeclock to cycle through the zones. When the control panel is in the garage, we either coordinate a time when you are home, or many clients just leave a side door open or find other ways to grant access, as this customer is doing. Love the request! 😂

We are now scheduling WINTERIZING!
If you are not already on our queue line for a fall blowout of your sprinkler system and you need to get this done, get in touch today! $49 for systems with up to 8 zones, and $5 per zone thereafter. We do offer group rates.

This is a cost effective way to beautify the side of your house. We transplanted the tree, pruned the hedge, weeded the strip and installed fresh bark. Viola! Instant curb appeal.

A Snoqualmie Ridge homeowner asked us to tune up her irrigation system.
During our thorough assessment, we found this rain sensor that another company had put in for her.
Do you see the problem with this installation?

"Help! Water squirted me in the face!" ...or: "The caps are missing from the top of my backflow device!"

These are common assumptions when folks try to do their own sprinkler service after having the system professionally winterized. We get these questions from at least a couple clients every spring.

The test cocks are left open to allow freezing water to escape during the winter. The screw head on the side of a test cock needs to be turned 90 degrees to close the inner ball valve. This picture shows a CLOSED ball valve which you will need to do to yours in order for water to flow to your irrigation system.

A lot of our clients turn their water on by themselves in spring. Here is a list of tasks to make sure you include:
* Turn on the water and restore the system to “on”
* Tune up the system and replace any minor parts as necessary
* Clean out filters and nozzles and make sure they’re pointed in the right direction
* Set the timers (and replace batteries as necessary)
* Verify and update the zone map
* Identify any broken heads or leaks

If you'd rather hire someone to do these tasks for you, our rate is $75 for a Spring Start-up and includes all of the above tasks - make sure your irrigation system is ready to go for the season! Contact us today to schedule your appointment!
