Why You Should Get a Fence Installed in the Winter

Most people think summer is the best time to get a new fence installed and will wait until the warmer months to make changes to their landscaping. But, although it may seem counterintuitive, installing a new fence in the winter is actually one of the best times of year to get the job done. Let’s look at the key benefits of winter landscaping and fencing.

It’s easier to landscape

Although it is colder and the ground is harder, there is much less shrubbery and ground covering plants to remove to get the space ready for a fence. Most trees and plants die back in the winter so they’re quicker and easier to remove.

It’s also much easier to avoid damaging your plants that have died back for the winter. In the summer, it’s easier to damage shrubbery and flowers that are in full bloom.

Landscapers are less busy

Summer is an incredibly popular time for landscapers, so you’ll find it hard to get an appointment to get your new fence installed.

In the winter, we are much less busy as landscapers, so it’s much easier to pick a convenient time for you to get your project underway. 

You won’t sacrifice your garden

In summer, you’ll be hosting BBQs and garden parties, your kids will be playing in the sunshine, and you’ll want to enjoy your garden as much as possible.

The last thing you want is to sit inside while your landscapers are hard at work outside.

By having a new fence installed in the winter, you don’t lose the use of your garden in the warm weather. You can sit in the warm while we get to work making your garden summer ready.

Fences cope better with the cold

Fences installed in the summer are usually not great at dealing with the harsh, cold weather of the winter. However, when installed in the winter, the lumber becomes accustomed to the harsh weather quickly, so will cope better throughout the cold months.

Your garden will be ready for the sunshine

Gardens go relatively unused through the cold months, but when the summer comes around, it will be nice for you to have a new fence that’s ready for the sunshine. It’s one less thing you need to worry about in the summer, and you can start making summer plans that much faster.
