November is the ideal time to plan what outdoor construction projects you want to start in the upcoming spring. Early preparation can help save you time, money, and stress, all while ensuring your backyard is ready to be enjoyed by the start of warm weather. Start sketching out your ideas before the temperatures drop too low and all the leaves have fallen. It’s best to be ahead of your goals for the new year.
Deck and Patio Upgrades
Is your current deck lacking? Perhaps you’ve got some uneven or rotting areas that need to be replaced. Now is the time to plan what might need to be rebuilt. Examine your space–what needs to be replaced? Maybe it’s time for new railings, stairs, or upgraded lighting. Better yet, consider what expansions you might want to start planning so they can be enjoyed by next spring!
Outdoor Fire Features
Adding an outdoor fire feature allows your family to enjoy your backyard even on a chilly night. November is the best time to start planning for a more permanent fire feature to enjoy for years to come, but wood or gas firepits are easy to incorporate when you need heat fast.
Hardscape Projects
If you have been holding off on planning a walkway, patio, or driveway, there is no better time than now. Early winter allows for enough lead time to plan and design larger projects and will give you a low-stress experience! Hardscapes always add value and functionality to a yard, so don’t hold off any longer.
Shade Structures
Plan now for your dream pergola or covered porch so you can enjoy the benefits when the heat of summer arrives. Pergolas, covered patios, pavilions, and shade sails can all transform your outdoor space and provide so much protection from the sun.
Planning Makes a Difference
Getting ahead on any project always makes it flow with ease. Prepping in Winter for the results you want in Summer means more time for custom designs, securing permits, and getting your materials. Don’t become bombarded with delays when everyone else is busy with projects in the spring–plan now!
