Specializing in mosquito, flea, and east end tick control service, traditional lawn services (including aeration and seeding), irrigation system services, tree removal and pruning, and Christmas and holiday light installation, the team of professionals successfully caters to your needs in the least toxic, most organic way possible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nSprinkler systems need to be maintained as you would any important and expensive equipment. Steps must be taken at the end of the season to protect sprinkler systems for the next year, and they need to be tested and maintained at the beginning of each season when they are turned back on. Alternative EarthCare shares why we blow out sprinkler lines in fall and how that affects the sprinkler system for the spring turn-on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nStarting your spring to-do list requires attention to timing. For tasks such as tilling, fertilization, pre-emergent herbicide treatment, overseeding, and other spring property chores, things such as temperature and the timing of treatments before the growing season starts is important. If sprinklers aren\u2019t properly maintained, property owners could find themselves behind the ball if they discover too late that their sprinkler system doesn\u2019t work or has damage. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nIn the fall, it is imperative to conduct a sprinkler line blow-out to rid pipes of any standing water that could freeze and cause pipes to burst, or, break valves, fittings, pumps, sprinkler heads, and other vital sprinkler system components. The damage incurred from failing to blow the lines out could range from a cracked fitting to a burst pump case or worse. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nWhen turning sprinklers back on in the spring, issues incurred from not blowing out the lines could result in water waste in the case of small leaks and cracks, costing homeowners money and damaging the landscape with excessive run-off.  The worst-case scenario could result in a totally inoperable system. Having a professional conduct a blow out in the fall will ensure that the correct air pressure and processes are used to properly rid lines of standing water, preventing costly damage down the road and ensuring that sprinkler systems are ready for the spring.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nServing both Suffolk and Nassau County, including the East End and the Hamptons, Alternative EarthCare offers a variety of organic, non-toxic lawn care services for your home or business. In addition to beautifying and maintaining properties, the award-winning staff is also dedicated to the safety and health of their customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONG
