Why Winter Is the Best Time to Plan Your Landscaping Project

Are you dreaming of a stunning backyard oasis or a front yard that boosts your home’s curb appeal in Wichita Falls or nearby communities like Pleasant Valley, Holliday, Electra, Henrietta, or Archer City? While most people put off landscape planning until spring, savvy homeowners know that the real secret to a gorgeous, well-timed outdoor transformation is starting your plans in winter.

Here’s why booking your consultation with Greenwood Landscaping this winter sets your project up for year-round beauty and enjoyment.

Beat the Rush: Secure Your Place on Spring’s Schedule

When the first hint of warm weather arrives, landscaping companies across Wichita Falls and the surrounding areas quickly see their schedules fill up. Planning your project in the winter gives you a significant head start:

• First choice of installation dates for optimal timing
• Minimal back-and-forth delays with design changes
• Faster turnaround from concept to completion.

Don’t wait until spring and get stuck on a long waitlist. By starting now, your landscape improvements can be underway—or even finished—before your neighbors are calling to schedule their first mow.

Take Time for Thoughtful Design & Customization

Winter months provide the perfect opportunity to slow down and work closely with Greenwood Landscaping’s experienced designers. Without the rush of the busy season, you’ll have:

• More flexibility to consider different design options
• Time to compare materials and finishes available locally in Wichita County
• The ability to visualize layout changes, features, and long-term landscaping phases
• A stress-free planning process that aligns with your family’s needs and seasonal habits (Christmas gatherings or spring BBQs, anyone?).

Whether you’re dreaming of a patio upgrade, a new stone walkway, water features, or a custom outdoor kitchen, winter is ideal for creating a plan that fits both your vision and your budget.

Take Advantage of Off-Season Pricing and Material Availability

Contractors and suppliers often offer special pricing during the winter, and materials like stone, mulch, pavers, and plants tend to be more available before the spring rush. By planning ahead, you can:

• Get the best pricing for hardscaping, fencing, or outdoor lighting installations
• Secure your choice of premium materials before they sell out in peak season
• Avoid wait times caused by supply chain delays that sometimes hit the region in late spring.

This strategic timing can help your budget go further and ensure quality results that stand out in neighborhoods from Burkburnett to Bellevue.

Prepare Early and Finish Faster

A key trending question is: “Is winter a good time to start a landscaping project?” Absolutely! While some landscaping work—like pouring concrete or installing certain plants—might wait for milder months, nearly every other step can move forward:

• Site measurements and land assessments can be performed even in cool weather
• Preliminary earthwork and removal of debris—or even junk hauling—get your property ready for new features
• Pre-ordering and prepping materials means installers are ready to go as soon as the ground thaws.

This early prep translates into a seamless project flow and a finished outdoor space that’s ready for spring and summer enjoyment without delay.

Enjoy Your Upgraded Yard Sooner

Planning in winter means your lawn, patio, or garden upgrades will be completed early—just in time to host Easter gatherings, summer cookouts, or graduation parties. Instead of missing out while waiting on last-minute installations, you’ll have a beautifully finished outdoor space as soon as temperatures rise.
