Plan Ahead for Spring Projects: Why Winter is the Perfect Time to Start
When the snow blankets Vermont and the days are short, spring may seem far away. But savvy homeowners and business owners know that winter is the ideal time to start planning spring projects. Whether you’re dreaming of a new shed, garage, patio, or landscape feature, early preparation sets you up for success when the warmer weather arrives. Here’s why planning your spring projects now is a smart move:
1. Beat the Spring Rush
As the ground thaws, contractors and suppliers see a surge in demand. By planning your project in the winter, you can secure materials, book contractors, and ensure your project begins on schedule. Avoid the waitlist by reaching out to us early to discuss your ideas.
2. Secure the Best Materials
The sooner you plan, the more likely you are to get your top choice of materials. Products like custom sheds, garages, and stone for patios or walls are popular in spring, and delays can occur as demand rises. Starting now ensures you have access to the high-quality materials you need without the seasonal rush.
3. Enjoy More Time Outdoors
By having your shed, garage, or patio completed early, you’ll maximize the time you can enjoy your outdoor space. Don’t spend the best months of spring and summer waiting for your project to be completed—start planning now, so it’s ready for use as soon as the weather warms up.
4. Take Advantage of Winter Discounts
Many contractors offer off-season discounts to keep busy during the colder months. At Livingston Farm, we can help you find cost-effective solutions for your project, allowing you to stretch your budget further.
5. Customize Your Project
Dreaming of a shed that perfectly complements your home or a patio designed for outdoor entertaining? Custom projects take time to plan, and winter gives you the chance to explore designs, materials, and layouts without feeling rushed. With Livingston Farm’s expertise, we can help you turn your vision into reality and guide you in the direction of your dreams.
6. Avoid Weather-Related Delays
Springtime in Vermont can be unpredictable, with lingering snow and muddy conditions. Starting your project as soon as the weather allows means your planning and ordering need to happen now. That way, you’re ready to go as soon as conditions permit.
