Hear from Our Customers
You wake up in spring knowing your sprinkler system is ready to go. No cracked pipes, no burst valves, no flooded basements from winter damage that could have been prevented.
Your irrigation system turns on smoothly when the weather warms up. Every zone works perfectly because we removed every drop of water that could freeze and expand during Sayville’s harsh winters.
You avoid the headache of emergency repairs and the expense of replacing damaged components. Professional winterization means your system lasts longer and performs better, protecting the investment you made in your property.
Rolling Hills Property Services has been protecting Suffolk County irrigation systems for years. We understand exactly what Long Island winters do to unprotected sprinkler systems.
We’re not seasonal contractors who disappear when you need us. We live and work in this community year-round, serving homeowners and property managers who depend on us to keep their systems running.
Our team uses professional-grade equipment specifically designed for irrigation winterization. We’re fully licensed and insured, giving you peace of mind that the job gets done right the first time.
We start by shutting off your main water supply and setting your controller to off mode. This prevents any new water from entering the system during the process.
Next, we connect our specialized high-volume compressor to your system. Working zone by zone, we blow compressed air through every line, pushing out all residual water through the sprinkler heads until only air comes out.
We finish by checking that all equipment is properly closed, sprinkler heads are down, and your system is completely protected. The entire process takes about 30 minutes for most residential systems, and we clean up completely when we’re done.

Our winterization service includes complete water removal from all pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads using professional-grade compressors. We maintain constant 70 PSI pressure, which is the maximum safe level for residential irrigation systems.
In Sayville, we typically schedule winterization from mid-October through mid-November, before consistent freezing temperatures arrive. Long Island’s climate can drop well below 32°F, and even a few cold nights can damage unprotected systems.
We also inspect your system during the process, identifying any issues that should be addressed before spring startup. This prevents surprises when you’re ready to turn your system back on and ensures optimal performance for the next growing season.
You should winterize your irrigation system before consistent freezing temperatures arrive, typically by mid-November in Sayville. We recommend scheduling your appointment in late October or early November to avoid the rush.
Long Island winters can drop well below 32°F, and even a few nights of freezing weather can damage your entire system. Water expands when it freezes, cracking pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads throughout your irrigation network.
Don’t wait for the first freeze warning. By then, it might be too late, and emergency winterization costs more than scheduled service. We start taking appointments in mid-September, so call early to secure your preferred date.
Unprotected irrigation systems suffer severe damage when water freezes inside pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads. The expanding ice cracks these components, often requiring complete system replacement or major repairs costing thousands of dollars.
You won’t discover the damage until spring when you try to start your system. By then, you’re looking at emergency repairs during peak season when contractors are busiest and prices are highest.
Beyond the financial cost, you’ll deal with flooded areas, damaged landscaping, and weeks without proper irrigation while repairs are completed. Professional winterization prevents all of this for a fraction of the repair cost.
While it’s technically possible, DIY winterization often fails because most homeowners don’t have the proper equipment or experience. Standard air compressors lack the volume and pressure control needed for complete water removal.
Professional winterization takes about 30 minutes with specialized equipment, while amateur attempts can take 3+ hours and still leave water in the system. Incorrect air pressure can also damage your pipes and valves, creating expensive problems.
Our team uses compressors designed specifically for irrigation systems, maintaining safe pressure levels while ensuring complete water removal. We also inspect your system during the process, catching potential issues before they become major problems.
Professional winterization costs far less than repairing freeze damage, which can run into thousands of dollars for pipe replacement and system restoration. The exact cost depends on your system size and complexity.
Most homeowners find our winterization service pays for itself by preventing just one frozen pipe repair. When you consider the cost of emergency repairs, water damage cleanup, and landscape restoration, professional winterization is an easy decision.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Contact us for a free quote based on your specific system. Remember, the cost of prevention is always less than the cost of repairs.
Our complete winterization service includes shutting off your main water supply, connecting professional-grade compressors, and blowing out every zone until all water is removed from pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads.
We also set your controller to off mode, check that all sprinkler heads are properly retracted, and inspect your system for any issues that should be addressed before spring. This comprehensive approach ensures complete protection.
After winterization, we provide recommendations for spring startup and any maintenance your system might need. We’re fully licensed and insured, so you have complete peace of mind that the job is done right.
Yes, we provide complete spring startup services to safely bring your irrigation system back online after winter. This includes slowly restoring water pressure, testing all zones, and adjusting sprinkler heads for optimal coverage.
Spring startup is just as important as winterization because winter conditions can shift sprinkler heads, damage components, or create new issues that need addressing. Our technicians check everything systematically to ensure proper operation.
We also handle any repairs discovered during startup, so your system is running perfectly when you need it most. Many of our winterization clients schedule both services together, ensuring year-round system protection and optimal performance.
