When the leaves start to change and the pool closes, backyard upgrades are probably the last thing on your mind. But here’s what most homeowners don’t know: fall is actually the best time to start planning your backyard renovation.
Whether you’ve been dreaming about a brand-new patio, a complete landscaping overhaul, or a pool installation for next summer, getting started now sets you up for a smoother, faster, and often more affordable project when the warm weather returns.
Here’s why planning your backyard reno in the fall makes all the difference:
1. You’ll Beat the Spring Rush
By the time April rolls around, most backyard contractors are already booked solid. If you wait until spring to start designing your new space, you might end up at the back of the line, and that could mean delays well into summer.
Starting the design process in the fall locks in your spot early, so when the ground thaws, you’re first on the schedule and ready to break ground as soon as possible. No waiting, no scrambling, just a stress-free start to your dream backyard.
2. More Time to Perfect Your Design
Great backyard landscape design doesn’t happen overnight. Custom patios, outdoor kitchens, new gardens, water features, and even pools have a lot of details to consider… and fall gives you time to explore them all without rushing.
Working with our design team in the off-season means you can tweak and refine the plan until it’s exactly what you want. Plus, we use advanced 3D design tools to bring your ideas to life before we even lift a shovel, so you can see your future backyard now and make decisions with confidence.
3. Easier Budgeting and Planning
Let’s be honest: backyard renovations are a big investment. By starting the planning stage in the fall, you’ll have a clear picture of the scope, timeline, and cost well ahead of time. That makes it easier to plan your budget and even spread out payments if needed.
And because you’re ahead of the busy season, you’ll often have access to more flexible scheduling and potentially better pricing (both of which disappear fast once spring demand kicks in).
4. Ready to Enjoy It All Summer Long
The biggest reason to plan ahead? You’ll actually get to enjoy your new space for the whole season. Too many homeowners start projects in May or June and don’t see the finished results until August. By then, summer’s almost over.
If you start now, construction can begin as soon as conditions allow, and by the time the warm weather hits, your new pool is ready for cannonballs and your new patio is prepped for BBQ season.
