Optimal Timing for Landscaping Projects
Spring is ideal for planting new landscape features as soil warms and plants begin active growth. It allows for establishment before the heat of summer.
Summer can be suitable for certain projects, especially those involving hardscaping or irrigation, but care must be taken to avoid heat stress on plants.
Fall offers cooler temperatures and increased rainfall, making it a good time for planting and soil preparation to ensure winter hardiness.
Winter is generally less suitable for planting but can be used for planning, designing, and installing certain hardscape elements in milder climates.
