Now is the Time to Plan For Next Year!

It’s that time of the year again, the prequel to the holiday season, and all you can think about is getting your decor, activities, and outfits ready for all the fun festivities. However, remember the outdoor patio you wanted to have built for summer barbeques? Or that tranquil waterfall installation so you can meditate outside? Don’t leave those on the back burner for too long because there’s no time like now to get things flowing for next spring/summer season!

Here’s why the off-season is the best season to plan your landscape design for next year: 


1. Ease in booking your dream team

When you start planning way ahead of time, landscape design contractors like us will have more availability in our schedule to plan outcomes for you and set up a timeline for the process. This will also give you more wiggle room to decide when you would like the project started or completed and us sufficient time to flesh out designs with you and plan the incorporation of all the details needed for your ideal outdoor setting. 

Another factor to consider is that getting things into action this early will give you an edge over everyone else planning their landscaping. This means you may have lush greenery surrounding you sooner rather than later. Better be ready to whip up cocktails you can slowly sip while you lounge in your garden!


2. Ample time to handpick special features

Following your heart to achieve your vision for your outdoor sanctuary is important. However, several details, variations, and features are present while designing a landscape, and you will have to decide what stays, what goes, and what you might want to plan for the future. For all of this, you need to have sufficient time to prepare. Features like the layout, planning for height or depth, seating plans, and flowers will involve lots of decision-making; the last thing you want to feel is rushed.

Secondly, landscape designing is an investment into your space and the way you will feel in your space. So, it is vital that you are content with your choices for elements such as patio furniture, plants, and shrubs to frame your curb, lighting, or even a pool. More time will also remove the pressure to be decisive and help you stay within your budget. If certain features are too expensive, you can adjust fund allocation or find affordable alternatives without extending your timeline.


3. The early bird gets the worm, aka beautiful landscape

Though it may seem unlikely, spring and summer bookings are already underway. Come summer, you will thank yourself for getting a headstart on your green planning. Scheduling your landscaping activities now will ensure that the work starts at the beginning of spring, which means it will most likely be complete at the start of summer. Just in time for you to get your golden on with a book outside, play with your furry friends, or host your loved ones. 

Whereas, if you stall on planning now and start just as spring rolls in, your project will take longer to complete, which means all the fun and games will have to wait, too. While everyone else enjoys their backyard, you’ll wish you started sooner, so take this as a sign!
