"Is it too late for a blowout?" Not yet. But this is the don't-push-it stretch.

Buried lines get a grace period — soil temperature lags air temperature by weeks. The above-ground backflow already doesn't have one. And waiting for the first freeze warning means calling the same week as everyone else who waited.

New to Elite? $60 blowout now, free spring start-up in April — new customers only.

Metro Detroit's first hard freeze usually lands in the back half of October. Check the calendar.

One cold night won't burst buried lines — the soil holds warmth longer than the air does. Sustained freeze is what does it. But the backflow preventer sits above ground and gets no grace period at all.

If your system is still charged, this is the week that stops being a someday item.

750+ Google reviews. 4.9 stars. Twelve seasons of Metro Detroit lawns.

October is the busiest stretch of our year, and it's the same crew doing it the same way: show up, do the job right, back it with a 1-year parts-and-labor warranty. Family-owned since 2014.

To everyone who's had us out this season — thank you. To everyone who hasn't yet: the fall schedule is open, and new customers get a $60 blowout plus a free spring start-up. New customers only.

Do you unplug the smart controller for winter — or leave it on? Depends on the box.

Rachio, Hunter, Rain Bird: schedules live in memory or the cloud, so powering down loses nothing. Wi-Fi models can stay plugged in on standby and pick up firmware updates all winter. The one non-negotiable: the controller can't be able to fire a zone in January. Standby mode or unplugged — pick one.

Outdoor-mounted box? Kill the power. Cold and condensation are hard on boards.

Controller shutdown is part of every blowout we do. Link in the comments. ⬇️

A blowout isn't "hook up air and hope." Here's what the $60 actually buys.

Water supply shut off. Backflow isolated. Compressor dialed to a pressure that clears lines without cooking seals. Then every zone purged one at a time — watching each run from water, to spray, to dry mist. Controller shut down for the season. Backflow drained and left open.

A rushed blowout skips zones. You find out which ones in April.

The most freeze-vulnerable part of your sprinkler system is the one sitting above ground.

The backflow preventer holds water year-round, takes the cold first, and splits when it freezes. Repairs run $200 to $650 — the single most expensive freeze casualty we see every spring.

A towel and a bucket over it isn't winterization. Draining it is. A proper blowout clears the backflow along with every zone.

Thinking of blowing out your own lines with the pancake compressor in the garage? Quick math first.

It's not about PSI — it's CFM. Volume of air. A small compressor pushes the water halfway down the zone and stalls. The line looks clear. The low spots aren't.

Clearing a residential zone takes a compressor most garages don't have. A day's rental runs close to what the pro visit costs. And cranking the pressure to compensate is how heads and seals get blown.

No judgment either way — but know the math before the freeze does. Link in the comments. ⬇️

Property managers: one missed zone under a parking lot is a spring excavation.

Commercial and HOA systems don't get winterized like a house. Bigger compressors. More zones. RPZ assemblies. And a board that wants documentation, not a handshake.

That's why commercial properties book September — sign-off takes time, and the schedule fills from the top.

First day of fall. Quick math on the most expensive shortcut in Metro Detroit lawn care.

Water left in the lines freezes. Ice expands. Pipes split underground where you can't see them, and the backflow preventer cracks where you can. Pipe repairs run $150 to $400. Backflow repairs, $200 to $650. And homeowner's insurance usually calls freeze damage neglect — not covered.

A blowout is $60.
