Though spring has finally rolled around here in BC, the chill hasn’t quite left us, and new buds are just starting to appear, which means you still have time to book your landscaping project! They say good things take time, and landscaping projects are no exception. Landscaping companies usually have their schedules filling up quickly with lots of homeowners wanting to have their gardens ready come summer’s sunny days. Here at Synergy Landscape Design, we’re just headed into the spring rush ourselves. However, you still have a little bit of a window to get ahead on your landscape planning and book your project in time for the warmer seasons.
Here’s why you should take the time to plan and book your landscaping project early:
1. Scheduling your landscaping project will be smoother
Landscaping contractors are filling up their schedules pretty quickly during this time of year, so taking a bit of time out to plan your dream garden or backyard will ensure that your project is booked in time. At Synergy, we’ve already booked landscaping projects spanning a couple of months ahead, so take this as your sign to book now and beat the spring rush! There are good chances we’ll be able to get you a consultation and have your project underway, so your outdoor space is ready for you to enjoy when hotter days arrive.
2. A better vision for your space
We are officially into spring, but we’re not surrounded by lush greenery yet. In terms of the landscaping world this is your golden opportunity to take a good look at your outdoor space and assess which areas could do with some hardscaping, levelling, additional pathways, new plant beds, walkways or water features.
3. Get those creative juices flowing
Now that you have some time before the spring rush fully kicks in, you can use it to gather some landscaping inspiration and ideas, research the latest trends and get a good feel of what you would like to accomplish with your space. If you already have some solid ideas, you can even book a consultation with our landscaping and design experts to see what’s possible. This will ensure you end up with a well-rounded plan and the best outcome for your garden or yard.
4. Nailing the design process
Getting your consultation session and landscaping project booked early will leave our team with sufficient time to nail down a cohesive plan and timeline. This way, we can make sure we understand your vision and help you make the most out of your outdoor space, without the added pressure of a ticking clock.
5. Permits and paperwork
Sometimes, certain landscaping project elements require paperwork to be filed and permits to be approved, and the last thing you want is to be caught up in red tape that holds your project back from being completed on time. It’s best to get the ball rolling now when you have time, to leave wiggle room for possible logistical delays. The following are examples of landscaping projects that require permits:
- Adding a new deck or patio.
- Installation of privacy fencing or retaining walls
Building water features like ponds or fountains.
6. Plan your dollars effectively
Landscaping projects are substantial investments, and you want to make sure the money you pour into it is being used wisely. If you book your project early, you can use the extra pockets of time to weigh your design options, compare material prices, get suggestions from landscape designers, and effectively plan your budget.
7. No compromises on your preferred materials
Some hardscaping materials, plants or foliage can be hard to access or have long lead times, which can eventually hold up completion of your landscaping project. If you book landscaping design and build services early, your preferred materials can be ordered in time, and we can even have contingency planning in place for alternate material options, so no one is left scrambling or disappointed at the last minute.
