When the weather turns colder, not many homeowners are thinking about their landscape design. Most of us are thinking that we get a reprieve from yard work for the winter months. However, there are some serious benefits that can come by enhancing your landscape design in the winter months and offseason. Mickey’s LawnScapes is here to point out the benefits that might make you want to consider some landscape changes this winter rather than waiting until next spring.
Why You Should Work on Your Landscape Design Now Rather than Later
While you might not get excited about changing your landscape design as we come off a long, hot summer, there are several reasons why you might want to consider it. Here are some of the benefits of making these changes in the offseason:
– Avoid Price Increases: There is a potential to save some money when you decide to enhance your landscaping during the winter. You will get the supplies for the cost of the supplies now rather than the increases that usually happen in the spring. Locking in the current rates might be worth working on your landscape now rather than later.
– Be Ready for Spring: When you make huge changes to your property when the spring season approaches, it takes the entire growing season for it to get established. When you take care of these big changes in the winter months, it can get you ahead of the game when spring arrives. You will be able to more fully enjoy your outdoor spaces when you take care of it in the winter.
– Streamline Approval: If you’re dealing with an HOA who has to approve the changes that you’re making to your property, you might be able to streamline the process by working in the offseason. You won’t be competing with other homeowners who are wanting to change things about their property. You will find that approval will likely take a fraction of the time.
– Less Disruption: If you are a landlord, you will find that there is less disruption to every day life for your tenants when you work in the winter. No one is trying to use their outdoor spaces when its cold outside.
– Plant Health: There are many plants that thrive when they are planted during the cooler months. They aren’t at risk of getting fried by temperatures that seem to be rising rather than falling. They will have a head start in the spring and will be ready to grow and be robust.
