Why You Should Plan your Spring Landscape Project in Winter

Why You Should Plan your Spring Landscape Project in Winter

Long Island's winters may make you want to retreat inside and dream about being outside next summer. But you can use them for more than just dreaming. You can use them to make sure the next summer includes your dream outdoor living space.

Winter is when you should plan your landscaping projects

Winter is best for planning your next-Spring landscaping project. It gives you the opportunity to really consider the features you want for your outdoor living space. Perhaps you want a pool with a stone pool area patio, but what kind of pool? What kind of pavers? Oh, maybe natural stone? How about a water feature to create ambiance? New plants and shrubs? There are a ton of choices and they take time to make. And no one likes to make choices in a rush, especially when they have to live with them everyday.

Tip: Features all have costs associated with them, so having time to get the prices for each feature you want and to consider the personal value each has for you can help you prioritize what's really important for you so you get what you really want in a budget with which you're comfortable.

Landscaping Company Have More Time to Design in Winter

Planning your landscaping project in winter also gives you time to work with a Landscaping Company when they're more available for design work. If you wait until Spring, they're already building the projects they planned and are permitted. So catch them when they're more available and there's enough time for them to help you.

Tip: Landscaping Companies, especially ones that are dedicated to design like we are, can you help you make many decisions about your property much faster. That's because they've dealt with the issues you'll uncover a lot of times and generally they have more supporting information to make the decisions easier. If you give them the time to help you, you're project is very likely to come out better than if you wait until the last minute. It's not because they can't help you faster, it's because you need time to consider possibilities and make choices.

Planning in Winter Leaves to Get Permits and Engineer Documents

Nothing beats not having to wait an entire year for your project to be done. And what can hold up a build? Waiting on permits from a town because the application was submitted at the last minute along with everyone else's last-minute applications. Know how to beat it? Get it in early so it's out of the way long before you need it. You know what they say, "the early applicant gets the permit!" Do they say that? I don't know but they should!
