Why Fall Is the Perfect Season to Plan Your Next Landscape Project

When the leaves start to turn and the summer rush slows down, many homeowners assume landscaping season is over — but for the team at Roots & Rocks, fall is actually the best time to start planning your next outdoor project.

Here’s why:

🍂 1. You Beat the Spring Rush

Spring is when everyone wants their patios, walls, and gardens installed — which often means long wait times.
By starting your design and planning process in the fall, you get on the schedule early, secure your spot, and ensure your project is ready to break ground as soon as the weather warms up.

🪨 2. Ideal Time for Design and Planning

Fall gives you the breathing room to think creatively. With fewer outdoor commitments and cooler days, it’s easier to meet with designers, review material choices, and fine-tune your vision.

Our landscape design process starts with on-site consultation, concept planning, and detailed budgeting — steps that are best handled when the rush of summer is behind you.

🌳 3. See Your Property’s True Structure

When plants have dropped their leaves and the garden is bare, you can better see your property’s contours, sunlight, and drainage patterns.
That makes it easier to design natural stone patios, retaining walls, or outdoor kitchens that fit your landscape perfectly.

🌤️ 4. Be Ready to Enjoy Spring, Not Wait for It

Planning in fall means when the snow melts, you’re not waiting in line — you’re already building. By the time your neighbors are just scheduling consultations, you’re sitting on your new granite patio, enjoying the first warm days of spring.
