We believe that every stunning outdoor space begins with thoughtful planning—and February offers the perfect opportunity to lay the groundwork for your spring landscape transformation. Get the advantage of time, access to resources, and the ability to craft a vision that will bloom beautifully in the months ahead.
Here’s why this winter month is your golden moment:
A. Beat the Spring Rush
Spring is widely recognized as the peak season for landscaping projects, which means demand for professional services skyrockets. Schedules fill up quickly, and many landscapers experience an influx of projects once the weather warms up. By initiating your landscape planning process in February, you can secure a spot on our calendar early, ensuring your project receives the attention and precision it deserves without the pressures of peak season. Additionally, you’ll have ample time to refine design details, source high-quality materials, and prepare for the upcoming season, so your landscape is truly ready for spring.
B. Dormant Planting Sets You Up for Success
February is the perfect time to plant certain trees and shrubs, particularly those that are dormant. During this period, plants are less active, allowing their root systems to establish in the cooler soil before the growing season begins. This results in healthier, stronger plants that are better prepared to thrive when spring arrives. Planting during dormancy also reduces transplant shock and offers the opportunity to select native or climate-adapted species, promoting long-term beauty and sustainability in your landscape. It's a proactive approach that sets your plants up for success from the start.
C. Hardscape Projects Need Time
Whether your vision includes a new patio, outdoor kitchen, or elegant walkway, hardscaping projects require significant planning and time for proper execution. February allows for head start on these elements, granting time for detailed design work, material selection, and construction preparation. This early initiative ensures that your hardscape features will be ready to enjoy as soon as the weather allows. Moreover, well-executed hardscaping blends seamlessly with softscaping elements, enhancing the overall aesthetic and functionality of your landscape.
D. Prep Your Landscape for Pests and Weeds
Weeds and pests are an unavoidable challenge for any landscape, but February presents a prime opportunity to address these issues before they escalate. By incorporating preemptive measures such as soil treatments or dormant oils, you can curb the growth of weeds and control pests before they damage your plants. This proactive approach gives your landscape a healthy start to the growing season, keeping unwanted invaders at bay.
E. Design Time is Creative Time
Winter is an excellent season for creative planning. Without the immediacy of a spring deadline, you have the luxury to explore ideas, work closely with our design experts, and develop a landscape that reflects your unique style and goals.
Whether it’s incorporating native plants, enhancing curb appeal, or crafting a space for entertaining, early planning ensures every detail is intentional and well-executed.
