Why winter planning is important for spring landscape design projects
By starting the planning process early, you give yourself enough time to assess your current landscape, identify necessary changes and improvement areas, and create a design plan that suits your preferences and budget. Additionally, it's a great opportunity to think about adding new outdoor features like hardscape features, garden beds, or flower beds. Advanced planning also allows you to select the right plants and materials for your design, considering factors like soil suitability and disease elimination. It ensures that when you pre-order the materials they will be available when you’re ready for installation. In fact, you could realize some cost savings when ordering materials during the slower winter season.
Steps to take when planning a spring installation project in the winter
- Assess your current landscape and determine what changes you want to make. Take a walk around your property and pay close attention to any areas that may need improvement or updating.
- Are there any areas that need improvement or updating, including drainage or shady areas?
- Is your terrace looking worn or outdated?
- Does your retaining wall need reinforcement?
- Are there any overgrown shrubs or trees that need to be removed?
- Consider whether you want to add any new features like a vegetable garden or tree planting. Include both hardscape and softscape options to suit your needs.
- This is also a great time to think about the overall layout and flow of your yard. Working with the TPS landscape design professionals can be extremely helpful in this process, as they can provide expertise and offer creative solutions to enhance your space.
- Establish a budget for your project. Consider factors such as materials, labor costs, and any additional features you want to include. Each additional month you give yourself for setting aside funds for these projects allows you to include the wish-list items you desire.
- Create your plan with time on your side. Keep in mind that large projects like landscaping take time to properly prepare the land. If you choose project elements that require digging or installation, you might need a permit to do so. Permits and HOA approvals take time to secure.
