Why January Is the Best Time to Plan Your Spring Outdoor Projects
Spring may seem far away, but if you want your outdoor space ready for the warm weather, January is the perfect time to start planning. From custom patios to outdoor kitchens, the key to having a completed project by spring is early preparation. Here’s why getting started now will save you time, money, and headaches—and how NexLevel can help make your dream outdoor space a reality.
1. Beat the Spring Rush
As soon as the weather starts to warm up, homeowners begin booking contractors for outdoor projects. Waiting until March or April to start planning can leave you stuck waiting weeks—or even months—for your project to begin. By starting in January, you’ll be ahead of the crowd and more likely to secure your ideal timeline. This means your outdoor space will be ready to enjoy by the time spring arrives.
Pro Tip: NexLevel’s calendar fills up quickly in the spring, so booking your consultation early helps lock in your project schedule and avoid delays.
2. More Time for Design and Customization
Outdoor projects like custom kitchens, patio covers, and fire features require a thoughtful design process. Starting early gives you time to:
- Explore ideas and inspiration without feeling rushed.
- Make design changes to fit your budget and lifestyle.
- Choose high-quality materials and finishes that reflect your style.
The extra time allows you to collaborate closely with NexLevel’s design team to create an outdoor space that’s tailored perfectly to your needs—rather than settling for a rushed, cookie-cutter solution.
3. Avoid Seasonal Price Increases
In many cases, prices for materials and labor increase as demand grows during the busy season. By planning your project in January, you may be able to lock in current rates before prices rise. Additionally, some suppliers offer early-season discounts or promotions on materials during the winter months, helping you save money. NexLevel can help you identify the best options and ensure your project stays within budget.
4. Have Your Outdoor Space Ready for Spring Events
Spring is the season for outdoor gatherings—think Easter brunch, birthday parties, and backyard BBQs. Waiting until spring to start your project means you might miss out on those early celebrations.
By starting in January, you’ll have plenty of time to complete your outdoor upgrades before your first big event. Imagine hosting friends and family in a beautiful new space with a custom outdoor kitchen, shaded patio cover, and cozy fire feature.
5. Minimize Weather Delays
Starting early means your project can get through the design and permitting stages during the slower winter months. By the time construction begins, you’ll be in the clear for more favorable weather conditions.
By planning in January, NexLevel can schedule construction to begin as soon as conditions are right—helping to avoid potential spring weather delays like heavy rains that can slow progress.
6. Get a Head Start on Landscaping
Many homeowners forget that landscaping is an important part of outdoor projects. Starting early gives you time to incorporate landscaping details—like planting new shrubs, trees, or flowers—that can complement your outdoor space.
Since it takes time for plants to settle and grow, planning ahead ensures your space will look polished and inviting by the time spring fully blooms. Yard can help you recharge without ever leaving home.
