As the vibrant colors of fall take over Denver, it's easy to forget that freezing temperatures are just around the corner. But if you haven't scheduled your sprinkler blowout yet, time is running out. Failing to winterize your irrigation system in time can lead to frozen pipes, cracked lines, and expensive repairs. So, when to blow out sprinklers in Denver? Let's break it down.
Denver's unpredictable fall weather is known for its sudden cold snaps. A warm afternoon can quickly turn into a freezing night, putting your underground sprinkler system at risk if water is left inside. When water freezes, it expands—and that expansion can rupture pipes, damage sprinkler heads, and create costly issues come spring. Avoiding this damage starts with one simple step: a sprinkler blowout.
In general, the ideal time to blow out your sprinklers in Denver is between late September and mid-October. That's because the first freeze in the area typically hits around mid-October, sometimes earlier.
Waiting until the last minute can be risky, especially since sprinkler blowout appointments book up quickly. At Landon Lawn Service, we recommend scheduling your blowout before October 15 to be safe.
Keep an eye on local weather forecasts. If nighttime temps start dipping into the low 30s, it's time to act fast.
While some homeowners attempt a DIY blowout using a home air compressor, the truth is: sprinkler systems are delicate. Using the wrong pressure or technique can do more harm than good. A professional has the right tools and experience to safely clear each zone without damaging valves or heads.
That's why most Denver homeowners trust professionals like Landon Lawn Service to get the job done right—and fast.

I called the number and was in touch with someone the same day. I had them come out to re-sod my entire front yard. They were on time, communicated well through the process, and even managed to finish the project a day early. They also did a great job of cleaning up when they were done. I also use them for mowing services and am happy I went with them. I would recommend Landon Landscaping given my experience with them. Price and service was on point with what I expected. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This company did an awesome job transforming my front yard from nothing but dirt to a beautiful rock-landscaped yard. They removed a tree that was threatening our neighbor’s garage, built a retaining wall, leveled the yard, and created a beautiful rock design, including rivers to direct water from the downspouts and a couple of areas where we can later add things to break up the large expanse of river rock. It took only 2-1/2 days and they were very friendly, professional, and reasonably priced. I would recommend them highly! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
They did a great job retaining walls, stone landscaping, rock landscaping, hardscaping, stone masonry, landscape design, and tree Landscaping. They were very professional, punctual, great value for the service! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The crew showed up on time, prepared and super professional. They executed exactly what we wanted; Spring package, cleaned out flowerbeds, added dirt, laid plastic and generously filled beds with wood chip mulch combo. They also left the yard and sidewalks completely clean when they left. We are so thankful for such an awesome experience!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
