Did you know that fall is the perfect time to plan your landscaping project? Creating an outdoor space requires careful planning, which can take several weeks. By starting to plan now, you will have the entire winter to think about your project and get the design right, without the pressure! Here are 5 reasons to start the process now for next year.

Why you should plan your landscaping in the fall!

The first advantage of starting your project in the fall is that you can take your measurements before the snow arrives. Measuring is essentially the first step in the process. With this information in mind, and considering that it is necessary to wait for the snow to melt before doing it in the spring, it becomes clear that waiting until then delays the process enormously! 

Similarly, for you as well as the designer, starting in the fall gives time to see the space evolve throughout the four seasons and allows for changes to be made as needed, rather than being rushed in the spring or summer.

2. You are just in time to book your landscaper

To accomplish your landscaping project, you will need a landscaper. Here is the catch: they are in high demand! They are often booked months in advance and their spots go like hotcakes when spring comes around. 

Starting your project in the fall allows you to choose your landscaper with no rush and to book them in advance so they can get the work done on time next year.

3. You avoid delays in the production of materials

It is no secret that since the beginning of the pandemic, the demand for landscaping materials, whether wood, concrete or even plants, has increased exponentially. 

Starting your project in the fall allows you to take the time to choose your products meticulously and place your order without constraints. By ordering in advance, you can avoid seasonal production delays and ensure that you receive your products in time for the scheduled start date of the work!  

4. Pssst! You will not be affected by the increase in material prices

Did you know that when you reserve your products in advance for next summer, you also reserve your prices? That is right! By ordering your products in the fall from your landscaper or distributor, you benefit from a price freeze and avoid the annual increase that usually occurs in February or March of the following year. 

Depending on the size of your project, you can save up to a few hundred, even thousands of dollars! Pretty tempting, is it not?

5. You will enjoy your new yard just in time for summer

Last but not least, starting to plan your landscaping in the fall allows you to start the work early in the spring. This way, it is completed just in time for you to enjoy your new outdoor space as soon as the beautiful summer days arrive, as it should be!
