Plan Your Barrie Landscape Project Today!

While it may seem silly with the cold weather nearly here, planning your landscape project now will save you time and hassle come spring.

Here are four reasons why you should start planning your outdoor landscape project now:

The cold weather means you actually have more time to budget, lay out your dream sand ideas, and take the time to really decide what you’d like your outdoor living space to look like. Because most landscaping projects will be built to last you years down the road, you need to plan out your goals behind your new landscape, and the costs that might be associated with it.

Thanks to modern technology, you can go online where your landscape designer can put your visual ideas into a 3-D design. When you work with Blue Diamond Pools & Landscaping, our professional landscaper Melanie will take the photos you supply of your home, along with your specific project ideas, and incorporate them into a life-like design for perspective. This handy tool allows our customers to view a realistic representation of their ideas prior to bringing in a builder.

It’s wise to start planning your project early because of general planning and design times, not to mention permits. Sometimes you’ll need to secure building permits, engineering specs, and additional paperwork related to property additions. The timeline for a landscape design and construction project should be calculated in months, not weeks. Even for basic projects, there are multiple steps involved in the process. You need to allow time to select a landscape designer, meet with them, evaluate design options, and wait for them to produce design plans before any construction takes place.

As the saying goes, “The early bird gets the worm.” Now is the time to schedule the construction process with your landscape designer. If you wait until spring to contact your landscaping company, there’s a good chance he or she will be booked up for the next several months. The longer you wait to schedule this, the later your plans will come into place meaning your project might be on hold until late summer. This delay doesn’t allow for much enjoyment time!

So, are you ready to get started on your landscape dreams?  Make it your winter project; after all, it’s the perfect opportunity to get cozy in front of the fireplace with your magazines and laptop in hand, and explore your creative juices (while not feeling guilty about being indoors!)
