Looking out the window at the gray or snow, the last thing we think about is relaxing on the terrace among the flowering beds. This is a natural reflex – we instinctively begin to take an interest in the garden only when the first rays of the spring sun fall on our faces. However, from the investor’s perspective, this is a fundamental strategic mistake. <\/p>\n
There is a simple rule of thumb in the landscaping industry: gardens to be built in the spring are designed in the winter.<\/strong> If you ask yourself when to order a garden design,<\/strong> the answer is: now. Delaying until March or April most often means that you won’t drink your first coffee on your new terrace until autumn. <\/p>\n Many investors assume that an architect’s work takes a week or two. In reality, the stages of professional garden design<\/strong> are a drawn-out process that usually takes from 4 to as long as 10 weeks (depending on the complexity of the site and the client’s decision-making). <\/p>\n This time consists of:<\/p>\n Starting in February, we have a comfortable time to work out every detail. Starting in April, we operate under the pressure of the runaway growing season. <\/p>\n Let’s analyze a typical garden work schedule<\/strong> in two scenarios.<\/p>\n Scenario A: Starting in Winter (February)<\/strong><\/p>\n Scenario B: Starting in Spring (April)<\/strong><\/p>\n Winter is a time of planning not only for designers, but also for garden builders. In February, most reputable contractors complete their portfolio of orders for the upcoming season. With a finished project in hand as early as winter, you can book an appointment with the best professionals in advance. <\/p>\n By showing up at the market in May asking for a free date, you risk working with random teams or having to wait in a long line. The same goes for ordering materials – such as specific patio boards or large trees from nurseries, which disappear at lightning speed in spring. <\/p>\n If your garden requires a construction notification (e.g., building a retaining wall over 1.2 meters, paving a large area of the plot, building a gazebo within certain parameters), you must add time for administrative procedures. The authority has a statutory 21 days (or more) to process the application. This time will not be jumped. In winter, this waiting period is painless – we wouldn’t be conducting field work anyway. In spring, every week of official delay is a week lost to plant vegetation. <\/p>\n The decision to start working with a landscape architect in the winter is evidence of a mature approach to investment. You gain time for thoughtful decisions, avoid stress, and guarantee yourself that your garden will be built on the optimal agronomic schedule. <\/p>\nDesign is a process, not a “ready-made”<\/h4>\n
