Benefits of Early Preparation for Your Hardscape or Landscape Design 

February and March may seem more like hibernate and relax months than planning time, but winter is the perfect time to plan for your spring outdoor projects.  Landscaping your outdoor living space is one of the joys of springtime, which many people look forward to.  PINE BROOK LANDSCAPING is ready to help you with your landscaping needs, from mulching and maintaining your planting beds, to design and installation of hardscape paver walkways, patios, fireplaces, kitchens and retaining walls that will enhance your outdoor areas.  Just think of all those things you wanted to improve about your yard last summer - now is the time to actually make a plan to get it done!

Advantages of Planning Your Spring Outdoor Projects Now

Winter is the ideal time to start planning your landscaping and hardscaping projects that you want accomplished before the height of summer. By planning ahead, you can benefit from your outdoor living area renovations as soon as the warm weather returns. Here's why you should evaluate your existing space and start making plans for an outdoor makeover now:
  • Planning Takes Time:  Designing and executing a successful project takes a lot of preparation. In order to create an outdoor living area that is aesthetically unified and complements your existing architecture, designs must be thoroughly thought out. Ensuring that you leave enough time for your lawn and garden redesign will also give you a better idea of what works best for you and your family’s needs. 
  • Maximize Your Outdoor Time The whole idea behind getting a head start on your outdoor projects during the winter is to make sure you can actually enjoy that space during the summer months. If you leave the planning of your hardscape area for the spring, the space will become unusable during installation or may take longer to complete than you initially anticipated. 
  • It’s Better for Your Plants Coming up with a creative design when your garden is in full bloom or overgrown in the spring poses more of a challenge for you and your landscaping team. Additionally, it is much easier on your plants and shrubs to be relocated in the colder months since they are not growing or flowering and therefore, will have a better chance of surviving in the spring.  
  • Avoid Backlogs & Delays Planning or making outdoor improvements during the off-season means that we are more likely to be available to complete your projects right away since we are not limited by the typical volume of work in spring. Winter landscaping also ensures more flexibility with scheduling and can even avoid materials delays altogether.
