Water left in the lines freezes, and a cracked backflow preventer or a split lateral costs many times what the blow-out does. A compressor clears every zone, the backflow is drained and the controller is shut down for the winter. Half an hour to an hour, and it has to happen before the first hard freeze.

01This price is real and it is the community price — but no approved contractor covers irrigation on Green Bergen yet, so we cannot hand it to anyone today.
02You can still start it as a DIY project. It keeps the scope and today's price as your reference, and switches to turn-key the moment someone covers it.
03Nothing is charged today. You pay the contractor when the work is done — card, check or cash.
04First to accept at this price gets it; nobody can counter-offer, and there is no deadline on your side.
No cost and no commitment — it tells us which trade to go find next.
