Why Winter Is the Best Time to Plan Your Spring or Summer Landscape

As the holidays wind down and winter settles in, it’s natural to start dreaming about warmer days ahead—family gathered around a fire pit, sunsets on the back porch, or hosting dinner under the stars. The good news? You don’t have to wait for spring to start making that dream a reality. Winter is actually the best time to plan your outdoor transformation. Before taking a look at the design packages, here are a few reasons why starting in winter gives homeowners a major advantage:

● Better availability & scheduling: Winter is typically a quieter season, which means more flexibility and focused attention on your project.

● Design & permits take time: Planning, approvals, and revisions are much easier to handle now—without delaying your build later.

● Material lead times: Pavers, plants, and specialty features often require advance ordering; winter planning avoids spring shortages.

● Smarter budgeting & phasing: Early planning allows you to prioritize and spread costs strategically.

● Faster spring start: With designs finalized, materials ordered, and permits ready, your project can break ground as soon as weather allows.
