Do the work in Winter, sit back come Spring. 6 reasons to start your garden renovations now.
It’s easy to see why most of us turn our backs on the garden once the cold sets in. But with no mowing and weeding to worry about, it’s a great opportunity to get updates or repairs underway.
Here are 6 reasons why getting your decking and fencing work done in winter makes good sense:
-
You’re not using the garden
As I’ve said, we tend to avoid the garden in winter, so any work you do won’t get in anyone’s way. And doing it now means once the first daffs appear, it’s all ready for you to enjoy.
-
It’s easier to find an installer
At busy times (spring and summer), decking and fencing installers, landscapers etc. are often booked up. Come winter, when demand drops, you’ll get a quicker call back and quote for your job.
-
Shorter lead times
-
More in-stock product
-
Less damage to foliage
-
Doing it before it fails
On another note, I’ve had my own shed broken into in January more than once – perhaps because the garden is a lot quieter in winter? It made me think that broken fencing could be an ‘easy in’ for opportunist burglars.
Don’t let winter weather put you off
The big bonus:
Do the work now and by the time the sun’s back you’ll be enjoying the fruits of your labour, sipping G&Ts on your nice new deck.
