Optimal Seasons for Landscaping Projects
Spring is ideal for planting flowers, shrubs, and trees as soil warms and plants establish before summer.
Summer allows for ongoing maintenance and installation, especially in cooler early months, but avoid extreme heat for new plantings.
Fall offers cooler temperatures and increased moisture, making it suitable for planting perennials and preparing landscapes for winter.
Winter is generally less suitable for planting but can be used for planning, hardscaping, and installing features in mild climates.
