You’ve enjoyed a lush, green lawn all spring, summer, and autumn long thanks to your sprinkler system. But now that winter is just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about sprinkler winterization.
Sprinkler winterization involves getting your sprinkler system ready to face the harsher weather conditions that cold seasons always bring. Since you won’t need your sprinkler system during the winter while your grass is dormant and won’t be growing, sprinkler winterization helps you give your system a careful maintenance check and the protection it needs for winter.
Is It Necessary?
Since an automated sprinkler system is pretty low maintenance, you may be wondering if all the hassle of sprinkler winterization is really necessary. While you may not want to bother with your sprinkler system as the air gets colder and your need for it diminishes, sprinkler winterization helps protect your system from damage.
Without draining your sprinkler system, for example, water can freeze and damage or burst your pipes. So, if you don’t want to find yourself stuck with hefty repair bills when you want to turn on your sprinkler next spring, taking out a little time for sprinkler winterization is a good idea.
However, if you don’t have the time for sprinkler care in your already busy schedule, don’t worry! You don’t have to tackle the sprinkler winterization process on your own. Just give our experienced team a call here at A Greener South, and we’ll make sure that your sprinkler system is thoroughly prepared for winter.
