Shorter days, fading flowers, and falling leaves. Late summer and fall is perfect for landscaping. Planning or building when the weather is cool helps you avoid delays and enjoy autumn. Plus late season construction is better for people and plants.
Shoreline landscapes, backyard resorts, pools, and many hardscapes can take several months to design, plan, and acquire construction permits. Most people don't realize how long the permitting process can take and how it can chew up precious weeks of summer. Fall and winter planning ensures you'll be ready to begin construction when spring comes, and not waiting around for a permit.
It can take a few months to plan a large project and complete the permitting process. So it makes sense to get started in the fall.
Scheduling design and construction is faster and easier in the fall. Many smaller projects can be planned and built in just a few weeks. You can be sitting by the fire or firing up the grill before you know it. Why wait for the spring rush?
A flagstone patio and fire feature like this one can be designed and built in just a few weeks.
