How do I winterize my residential irrigation system in Dallas?

Preparing for Cold Weather

In Dallas, a residential irrigation system should be winterized before freezing temperatures arrive to help prevent cracked pipes, damaged valves, and broken sprinkler heads. Dallas Landscape & Irrigation can inspect your system, shut down water properly, and make sure it is ready for the colder months.

Typical Winterization Steps

• Turn off the water supply to the irrigation system.
• Drain remaining water from exposed lines and components.
• Check backflow devices and other vulnerable parts for protection needs.
• Verify the controller settings so the system stays off until spring startup.

If your system uses a backflow preventer or has exposed piping, professional winterization is especially important. It helps reduce the risk of freeze damage and keeps your system ready for a smoother spring restart.
