Why Winter Is the Perfect Time to Plan a New Patio

Thinking about a fresh outdoor living space? For homeowners in Wichita Falls and neighboring communities like Pleasant Valley, Burkburnett, Sheppard AFB and Iowa Park, winter is hands-down the smartest season to start planning a new patio. At Greenwood Landscaping, we believe that getting a jump-start during the cooler months beats waiting for the spring rush—helping you secure the perfect space to relax, entertain, and enjoy come summer.

Skip the Rush: Winter Means Shorter Wait Times and Priority Service 

One question we hear frequently is: "Is winter actually a good time to start a patio project?" The answer is yes—especially when it comes to planning and design. By starting your project in December or January, you avoid the springtime bottleneck, when everyone else suddenly remembers their patio dreams.

Benefits of winter planning include:

• Quicker design consultations and revisions
• First-choice scheduling for spring installations
• Ample time to finalize approvals with your HOA or city regulators.

Since our team at Greenwood Landscaping serves Wichita Falls and all surrounding areas, planning ahead guarantees you won't be stuck in a lengthy queue when longer daylight returns.

Lock in Off-Season Pricing and Avoid Spring Price Hikes 

It’s no secret that landscaping materials such as flagstone, pavers, and lumber often become more expensive as demand spikes in spring. By planning your patio in winter, you may benefit from more stable or discounted rates on materials and labor before prices adjust upward. This is just another way Greenwood Landscaping helps homeowners in Lakeside City, Archer City, and the rest of North Texas get the best value for their investment.

Explore Materials and Custom Designs Without the Rush 

Winter planning isn’t just about beating the crowd; it gives you time to fully explore your design options. With the slower season, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Compare different paver shapes, colors, and finishes
• Arrange flagstone, interlock patterns, or fire pit layouts with expert advice
• Customize features like built-in seating, lighting, or even an outdoor kitchen.

Our design specialists can guide you through the latest trends in outdoor living—from cozy fire pits for family gatherings to functional outdoor kitchens for summer BBQs—tailored to your personal style and home’s architecture.

Early Prep Paves the Way for a Quick Spring Build 

Another advantage? Winter patio planning means we can often get a head start on behind-the-scenes work. While harsh weather can occasionally slow certain outdoor activities, there are still plenty of winter tasks that set you up for a smoother spring project, such as:

• Site assessment and measuring
• Soil testing and drainage evaluations
• Ordering specialty materials in advance.

This “early bird” approach allows Greenwood Landscaping to hit the ground running as soon as temperatures rise, so your patio is ready well before summer festivities begin.
