Sprinkler winterization price list template

Irrigation companies usually publish one winterization price per system, sometimes with a zone limit. TriState Water Works in Cincinnati lists $125 for up to six zones and $15 for each zone beyond; Pure Irrigation in Utah lists $125 with every zone included (checked October 2026). Write the base price, the zones it covers, the per-zone extra and your service area, and keep repairs and backflow work as separately quoted items.

What should a winterization price include?

Spell out the visit: shutting off the water to the system, blowing out every zone with compressed air, draining the backflow preventer and setting the controller to off. Add what you note for the customer, such as heads or valves that need attention. Then list what sits outside the price: repairs, backflow testing where your town requires it, and any second visit.

Name the systems you price differently. Drip zones need lower air pressure and more care, and wells, pumps and pond feeds add steps. Give them their own rows or mark them as quoted on site, so a customer with a pump station doesn’t book the standard price and expect it to cover everything.

How should spring startup and fall winterization appear on the sheet?

As two rows with their own prices, then a third for the pair if you sell one. TriState prices its annual plans apart from the one-time winterization, and that’s the clearest layout. A customer who sees both prices and the bundle can work out the saving without asking, and you can renew the plan each fall without quoting it again.

Put common repairs underneath with prices: a replaced spray head, a rotor, a valve repair, each with parts and labor included. Customers approve a printed price faster than a figure worked out in the yard, and your tech doesn’t have to haggle in the cold while the next stop waits.

Should you publish a fall special?

A dated special fills the route early, which is what you want from a service everyone books in the same few weeks. Pure Irrigation runs its 2026 winterization as a $125 special with every zone included. Print the date it ends and what it includes. A special with no end date becomes your regular price the following fall.

The trade-off is what you teach customers to expect. If the special is really your price, call it your price. If it’s a booking incentive, show the regular price beside it and hold that line once the date passes, or next year’s customers will wait for the special before they book.

Frequently asked questions

Should I put winterization prices on my website?

Yes. Customers book this service on price and date, and both Pure Irrigation and TriState publish theirs. A visible base price and zone limit let people book themselves into your route without a phone call. Publish the residential prices and quote commercial systems, multiple controllers and anything running off a pump.

Should the list show a minimum or a trip charge?

Your base price is the minimum, so say what it covers: “includes up to six zones” is clearer than a separate minimum line. Add a trip charge outside your service area rather than raising every price. Pure Irrigation names its area, Utah County and Salt Lake County, right next to its price.

How often should I change my winterization price?

Once a year, before fall booking opens, and move the per-zone extra along with the base. Check fuel, compressor costs and wages. Tell last year’s customers the new price in the same message that invites them to book, so it arrives as a reminder rather than a surprise on the invoice.
