MW Lawn & Landscape winterizes irrigation systems across Olathe, Overland Park, Lenexa, and Johnson County with a professional sprinkler blow-out. Using a commercial high-volume compressor, we clear every drop of water from your pipes, valves, heads, and backflow before the first freeze — and we back it with a winter-damage guarantee. Family-owned for 25+ years.
We’ll respond within 24 hours
Kansas winters are hard on irrigation systems. Any water left in your pipes, valves, sprinkler heads, or backflow device freezes, expands, and cracks them and you won’t find the damage until spring, when a $500–$2,000 repair bill greets your turn-on. Our winterization service prevents that. We shut down your system and use a commercial, high-volume air compressor to blow every drop of water out of the lines, one zone at a time, then clear the backflow and shut down the controller. It’s the reliable way to protect your system and we stand behind it with a winter-damage guarantee
We use a high-volume (high-CFM) commercial compressor that clears every part of your system not the small garage compressor that leaves water behind to freeze.
We blow out each zone one at a time until only air and mist come through the heads, so no water is left in the lines, valves, or heads.
We drain and clear your backflow device one of the most expensive parts to replace if it freezes and cracks.
If we winterize your system and it still suffers freeze damage over the winter, we’ll repair it at no charge. That’s how confident we are in the job.
A complete, guaranteed blow-out that leaves nothing to freeze
We locate and close the main water supply to your system and shut down the controller so it won’t run over winter.
We connect a high-CFM commercial compressor to your blow-out port and clear the lines with regulated, safe air pressure
We run and clear each zone individually until only mist and air come through no puddles left behind
We drain and clear the backflow assembly so it doesn’t freeze, crack, and need an expensive replacement.
We clear drip and micro-irrigation lines too, which are just as vulnerable to freeze damage
We back our winterization: if freeze damage happens after we blow out your system, we repair it free

Yes. Kansas winters drop well below freezing, and any water left in your pipes, valves, heads, or backflow will freeze, expand, and crack them. Draining the system or relying on auto-drain valves isn’t enough low spots and small parts still hold water. A professional blow-out is the reliable way to protect your system from expensive freeze damage.
Before the first hard freeze. In the Kansas City area that means scheduling in October and having it done by mid-November at the latest. Fall weather here is unpredictable, so it’s best to book early rather than gamble on a late freeze catching your system full of water.
It’s risky. Most homeowner air compressors don’t move enough air (CFM) to clear all the water from the valves, heads, and lines, so puddles get left behind and still freeze. And turning up the pressure to compensate is dangerous too much PSI cracks pipes, blows seals, and shatters heads. It’s about high air volume at safe, regulated pressure, which is what our commercial equipment delivers.
Water trapped in the system freezes and expands, bursting pipes, cracking valves, breaking sprinkler heads, and damaging the backflow device. You often won’t discover it until spring startup, and repairs commonly run from around $500 to over $2,000 far more than a winterization.
Yes. Drip and micro-irrigation lines hold water and are just as vulnerable to freeze damage as spray zones, so we clear them as part of your winterization.
It depends on the size of your system and the number of zones. It’s a flat service call and far cheaper than the freeze repairs it prevents. Call (913) 829-4949 for pricing on your system, and ask about scheduling it with your spring turn-on.
