Are you looking to start your landscape project but keep postponing it? It’s a good idea to begin as soon as possible. Landscape projects can take several months from design to the final detail, requiring time, planning, and attention. If you’re eager to get things done, now is the best time to start your landscape project.
What is the Best Time of Year for Landscape Installation?
Spring is the ideal time for outdoor renovations. To get a head start, hire a contractor and begin the design and planning process in the fall or winter, a few months earlier. With recent material and labor shortages due to the pandemic, longer wait times have become the norm. Scheduling your landscape project with us at Rock N’ Soil ahead of time will ensure a hassle-free experience in the summer months.
Can I Undertake Landscape Projects in Winter?
Freezing temperatures restrict labor, so while you can start designing and planning during the winter, actual work cannot be done in the cold winters typical of Canada. Installation can resume when temperatures rise and the snow melts. Having a contractor and a planned design ready in winter gives you an advantage, securing your spot in their calendar and avoiding the spring rush. This preparation makes winter a strategic time to start planning your landscape project.
What is the Best Time to Plant?
In North America, the best time to plant is during the fall and spring. While planting is possible year-round, it requires more maintenance, such as frequent watering. Plants installed in the fall or spring have the rest of the season to develop their root systems. Cool air and precipitation help keep the soil moist and boost growth. Remember, planting should be the last step in your landscaping project, so ensure all prior steps are completed first.
