5 Reasons to Start Designing Your Spring Landscape Now

During the long winter months, it’s the perfect time to fire up your imagination and start designing your spring landscape. If you’re feeling a bit stir crazy this season, here are a few good reasons to begin dreaming and planning out your yard prep.

It’s a Fun Distraction

Envisioning and planning out your dream landscape is not only a great way to pass the time during the long, extended winter evenings but it can even be fun! With so much time to utilize, you can analyze any issues that you’ve faced with your yard in the past and figure out how to improve and enhance them. This could include installing a new fence for more privacy, tackling a retaining garden wall that’s deteriorating, or creating a patio area for entertaining guests. Get creative and start imagining the type of yard you’d love to show off to family and friends.

You Can Plan It Carefully

Leaving design plans until the busier spring or summer months can equate to a rushed, haphazard and disintegrated design. Instead, you can have a layout that carefully integrates all aspects, like the style of fencing, patio area, and gardenscape to create a cohesive, well-integrated plan.

Plan for Your Budget

The budget is one of the most important parts of developing the plan for your landscape. You should have a clear understanding of exactly how much you can allot. Getting started on this now will make it much easier to plan out the scope of your project, especially when you’re determining your wants and needs. There may be sacrifices you’ll need to make to avoid overspending but having this nailed down will make the much easier process.

Lock-In Your Date

Having a prepared plan also means you can book in your preferred date with your preferred landscaping company. As soon as the ground is thawed, you can get shovels in the ground and have your yard ready to take on the summer. You also won’t have to claw your way through the busy summer rush.

Enjoy the Summer

Finally, with your plan crystalized and your landscape crew booked and ready to go, you won’t have to endure summer weekends without a yard to enjoy. Instead, you can have it completed just in time to make the most of it during the warm weather.
