Why Winter Is the Perfect Time to Start Planning Your Spring Landscape Design


December 10, 2020

If you’re like most people, your home’s landscaping is the last thing on your mind during the winter months. You can’t start planting anything until the temperatures change and the ground thaws. So, does that mean you shouldn’t be thinking about your springtime projects when winter is in full swing? Absolutely not! The sooner you start planning projects and improvements for your Denver landscaping, the better off you’ll be. Here’s why.

You’ll Be Able to Save Up
No matter how many gardening and landscaping tools you manage to repurpose, there will always be projects that will cost you money. If you enter springtime without a plan in place, those expenses might be too much for you to cover comfortably. By starting your planning process during the winter months, you’ll have time to build your savings and prioritize the projects you absolutely want to include in your design. This will make it easier for you to accomplish everything you want without putting a serious strain on your normal budget.

You’ll Feel Less Rushed
When everyone around you is making changes and improvements to their landscaping, it’s tempting to start at the same time. And if you’re competitive, that rush can leave you wanting to get things done more quickly so your yard will look better than everyone else’s. If you’re trying to plan and implement everything at once, it’s only natural that you’ll feel rushed. This can lead to feelings of stress and may keep you from enjoying your landscaping in the long run. By starting your planning process in the winter months, you’ll be able to get started as soon as the weather improves. You won’t have to worry about rushing to get things done before everyone else on the block—you’ll already be ahead of the game.

You Can Place Orders in Advance
Nothing is worse than showing up at your local garden center with a long list of plants and elements you want to stock up on only to find out that the garden center is out. Though you can spend your weekend heading to other stores to see if they have anything that will work, you don’t have to if you start planning early. When you have an idea of the plants you want to include before spring arrives, you’ll be able to place orders with your garden center before other people even start thinking about their landscaping. That means you won’t have to deal with surprises when you get to the store and you’ll have access to everything you need when you need it.

Start Planning Now
Planning your landscape design and garden improvements during the winter months is always a great idea. The sooner you can get started, the easier implementing those improvements will be when spring comes back around.
