Freeze Protection & Spring Start-Up in The Woodlands
The Woodlands is not one lawn type. Grogan's Mill still has original PVC under loblolly pines. Creekside Park has builder clocks that were never set for shade. Clay swells after rain and shrinks in August. We schedule by village so the truck is already on that side of 45 or 242.
The Woodlands does not get a Denver winter, but a Gulf freeze still splits backflow bodies and above-grade PVC. We wrap, drain where it helps, and come back in spring to run every station and replace what cracked. This page is the freeze protection & spring start-up path for The Woodlands.
What we look for
- Forecast below freezing overnight
- Cracked backflow after a cold snap
- A station that ran all winter and now will not
- Need a spring start-up before the first mow
