Remember to Water This Winter

Colorado Winter Landscaping Tips

End-of-Year Maintenance 
As we’ve seen with this month’s weather patterns and snow storms, winter is upon us in the Denver Front Range, with temperatures often dipping below freezing overnight. If you haven’t done so already, now is the time to have your sprinkler system turned off and the lines blown out. Freezing water left in your lines can expand and cause damage to the system that is far more costly than the seasonal maintenance work of properly putting your irrigation system to sleep for the winter. ​

After winterizing your irrigation systems, you’ll also want to ensure that you have a plan for giving your plants and grass enough hydration to stay alive and healthy between rain and snowfall. We recommend adding a recurring reminder on your calendar to hand-water your greenery, especially if you recently installed a new landscape that hasn’t had time to develop a hardy root system.
