When to Blow Out Your Sprinklers in Colorado

September 15, 2026 Deep Roots Landscaping

Colorado weather can swing from warm afternoons to freezing nights in a matter of days. Any water left sitting in your sprinkler lines can freeze, expand, and crack pipes, valves, and backflow devices.

In the Colorado Springs and Fountain area, most homeowners schedule their sprinkler blowout between late September and mid-October — ideally before overnight temperatures start dropping into the 20s.

A proper blowout uses compressed air to push water out of every zone. Done correctly, it prevents costly spring repairs and helps your system start up smoothly next season.
