As the temperatures drop and leaves start to fall, it can be tempting to put landscaping plans on the back burner. But at Reder Landscaping, fall is one of the smartest times to start thinking about your spring landscape. Planning now gives you more time to explore ideas, secure your place on Reder Landscaping’s spring schedule, and ensure your project is ready to go when warmer weather arrives.
Here are 5 reasons to start planning your spring landscape this fall:
1. You’ll have first pick of the spring schedule
At Reder Landscaping, our spring calendar fills up fast. Typically by March 1st our crews are booked until July 4th. Planning now means your project can begin as soon as conditions allow, so you’re enjoying your new landscape by early summer instead of still waiting for a start date.
2. There’s more time to explore design options
From custom patios and planting plans to drainage or lighting upgrades, great landscapes don’t happen overnight. Working through ideas now lets you explore options, finalize designs, and make confident decisions without feeling rushed.
3. Materials and permits can be ready to go
Hardscape materials, specialty plants, and city permits can all take time to secure. By planning in the off-season, we can get everything in place early, so once the ground thaws, we’re ready to start.
4. Fall gives designers a clearer view of your landscape
Once perennials have died back and trees have shed their leaves, the true “bones” of your landscape are easier to see. Our designers can better assess grading, drainage, and layout opportunities, helping uncover your yard’s full potential.
5. Avoid the spring rush (and the waitlist)
Every year, we get 100’s of calls from homeowners eager to get started as soon as the weather breaks, only to learn that our crews are booked into late June or even July. Starting the planning process now ensures you won’t have to wait to see your project come to life.
Even though it might not feel like “landscaping weather” yet, now is the perfect moment to start planning for next year. By taking a little time this fall, you’ll be ready to enjoy a beautifully designed, expertly installed landscape when spring arrives.
Contact Reder Landscaping today to start the conversation and reserve your place on the spring schedule. When warmer days return, you’ll be glad you planned ahead.
