When to Start Thinking About Winterizing Irrigation in the Southeast

For many homeowners in the Southeast, irrigation systems work hard throughout the long growing season to keep lawns, trees, and landscape beds healthy. Because winters in states like North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and parts of Virginia are generally milder than those in northern regions, it can be tempting to put winterization on the back burner. However, waiting too long can leave your irrigation system vulnerable to freeze damage and costly repairs.
