Why Fall Is the Perfect Time for Landscape Design
When the weather starts to turn cold, spending time outdoors might be the furthest thing from your mind. But fall is actually a great time to start planning a landscaping project. Here’s why:
Top of Mind
How did you enjoy your yard or landscaping this past spring and summer? Did you wish it had more shade, more color or more spaces to entertain? Maybe you noticed your deck was showing its age or some of your shrubs or trees were looking more and more overgrown.
Maybe you’re wanting to extend the season outdoors and wishing you had a fire pit or the exterior lighting to make your yard more welcoming on chilly nights.
With these ideas fresh in your mind, take the time now to write them down. They will help your landscape designer create the perfect outdoor setting for you.
Planning Takes Time
Start by thinking about your dream outdoor spaces: Who will use them and when? Would you like to eat outside, entertain friends, grill or prepare meals or gather people around a fire? Or maybe you want to start or expand your garden space. Maybe it’s time to spruce up your home’s curb appeal. How much yard work do you like to do? Is it time for an exterior lighting plan to add interest and safety to your landscaping? Take the time to consider all these factors as you envision your new space.
Now’s the time to rough out a budget for your landscaping project, too. Will you need to finance the project? Talk to a lender about your options now. Unlike interior renovations, it’s easy to tackle a landscape makeover in phases. We’re happy to create your overall plan this fall or winter, then start creating one area at a time.
Take Advantage of the Off Season
Like most landscape design companies, our schedules tend to be a bit more open in the fall and winter. Let’s talk about your vision now and start sketching out a plan. We’ll go over your ideas, look at photos that you like and discuss your budget. Then, we’ll visit your home to look at the site and take measurements.
After visiting your site, we’ll draw up a preliminary plan and provide a cost estimate. Over the next few months, you can review and revise the plan until it fits your needs exactly. If your plans include building a deck, pool or other structure, we can arrange meetings with contractors so they are on board and prepared.
Be Ready to Roll
Another advantage to jumping on your landscape design now is that everything will be ready to go when good weather comes around. In the spring, we can start removing any unwanted plant life or existing structures. Then, we’ll do preliminary site grading to get ready for hardscaping like patios, walkways or walls. Once those are in place, we’ll be ready to bring in your plants and you can start enjoying your beautiful new landscape.
