Gardens are a place to retreat to and relax in the warm weather, or if you’re a keen gardener they become a place for your hobby, but an unappealing garden can dampen the experience. Creating a garden that you can use to your preference will be beneficial in the long run, and can help to improve the appearance of your home, a benefit if you are hoping to sell in the future as it may help to increase the price of your house.
Starting a garden renovation is a big step in your home renovation journey, the tools you may need may take up space, as will any excess materials. Knowing the best time to start a garden renovation can be difficult, and there are multiple factors to think about.
The first step of a garden renovation is planning. What do you want to add to your garden? Do you want to level it completely and start afresh, or just add a deck? There are so many choices to make when it comes to designing and planning your ideal garden. You don’t have to plan alone, if you have a vague idea but don’t know how to put it to paper you can hire a landscape architect to help you turn your dream into reality.
As you plan you should also think about what tools you may need. If you plan to level an area of your garden you may need to consider which landscaping materials you may need to buy or hire, such as a roller to help flatten the earth, or an excavator to help dig up any hills or mounds. If you plan to add decking, paving or pathways you may want to look into hiring a cement mixer, or a trailer to help move your paving slabs.
When planning your garden renovation you should have an idea of when you would like your renovation to begin, so you can begin to hire tools and buy any materials that you may need. But when is the best time to start a garden renovation?
Most people like to enjoy their gardens in the warmer summer months, so beginning construction at this time will limit your access to your outside space. Instead look at starting your renovation project sometime in the autumn, winter or early spring to give you plenty of time to complete your renovation in time for the summer.
Most landscaping jobs can be done in any manner of weather, outside of extreme weather conditions, so you don’t need to worry about trying to limit renovation times to dry weather periods. Starting your renovation in Autumn or Winter can also open up your options if you are looking to hire a professional landscaper as they may be less busy at this time of year.
If you are planning to begin landscaping by yourself this may change your options. Whilst you may still be able to hire the required machinery and tools, you may have less time to work on your garden outside of your other commitments. If this is the case it may be beneficial for you to begin your renovation in the spring or summer to make use of the milder weather and light evenings.
