Dreaming of enjoying YOUR outdoor space this summer?
Spring is the ideal time to get ahead of the game and start working on those outdoor projects so you can reap the rewards come summertime. However…
Many homeowners procrastinate until June or July. You know, when contractors are booked and ready to charge you an arm and a leg.
Don’t be that homeowner.
Do your projects now.
Here’s a preview of what we’ll cover:
- Reasons why spring is the ideal season for outdoor projects

Reasons why spring is the ideal season for outdoor projects
Spring is unique because the ground is soft enough to work with. The plants are able to take root properly. And the best part?
Contractors will have time to actually take YOUR project.
Let’s consider this:
According to 56% of landscaping professionals, homeowners are expected to focus more on outdoor living and backyard upgrades in 2025. That also means there will be more demand for quality landscape design services.
By investing in your home before your neighbors do, you’ll be able to enjoy your beautiful space all summer long without feeling rushed or stressed about getting things done.
Not to mention spring offers up mild temperatures that are ideal for construction crews to work efficiently. Plus, your plants have an ample amount of time to establish themselves strong before the hot weather hits.
For homeowners living in the Pacific Northwest, finding skilled professionals offering Pierce County landscape design and installation is the key to creating that perfect outdoor entertaining space before summer even arrives.
Top landscape design services to consider this spring
When it comes to spring projects, not all will give you that immediate satisfaction that you’re looking for. However, they all build off of one another to create your dream oasis.
Here are a few landscape design services that you should consider:
- Patio and deck installation
- Professional landscaping
- Outdoor lighting
- Irrigation systems
- Fire features
Whether you’re looking to entertain guests or simply create a beautiful space to kick back and relax in during your free time; these landscape design services can help you achieve your goals.
Install a patio and deck. It instantly creates an area for you to lounge around in.
Add some lighting. Never forget about your backyard again once the sun goes down.
Install a fire feature. Invite friends and family over to gather around for those chilly spring nights.
Of course, these particular landscape design services focus on different areas of your outdoor space. So how do you know what you should tackle first?
How to properly prioritize your spring project to-do list
If you’re like most homeowners, you probably don’t have the time or budget to get EVERYTHING done that you want to this spring.
That’s why it’s important to know which projects should be taken care of first.
Landscaping should always be the first thing you focus on.
Landscaping isn’t just eye-pleasing, did you know that landscaping can boost resale value by 10-20%? That right there is a much better return on investment than most home improvement projects.
Not only will landscaping make your home look beautiful when trying to sell, but it also enhances any outdoor projects you decide to add.
That new patio looks 100x better with some landscaping around it. Your fire pit feels more intimate when it’s surrounded by foliage. Everything just works together.
Now you can start thinking about adding features.
Once you have that base already established, you can start thinking about adding things like patios, decks, fire features, and so much more. Since your landscape design is already in place, contractors can design around what you already have making your vision come together flawlessly.
Here’s a great timeline to follow when it comes to starting your spring projects:
- Landscaping
- Week 1-2: Meeting with the designer
- Week 3-4: Grading/site prep
- Hardscaping
- Week 5-6: Installation
- Plants & irrigation
- Week 7-8: Planting/installing irrigation
- Lighting and everything else
- Week 9-10: Finishing touches
Not only will this give you everything done WAY before summer starts, but you also avoid rushing to get things completed. You also won’t have to worry about compromising your project because your neighborhood barbecue is tomorrow.
How to make sure you’re making the most of your investment
It takes a lot of money to complete outdoor projects. Make sure you’re spending your money wisely by keeping a few things in mind.
Investing in quality products.
Yes, they will set you back more money at the time of purchase. But that wallet will thank you later. Trimble pavers aren’t cheap. But those brick-looking pavers that are $5 a piece at the local hardware store? They’ll crack and give you headaches you don’t need.
Not only is it important to invest in quality products, but you should also hire professionals to do the installation.
While adding mulch to your flower beds can be done by yourself, things like retaining walls, irrigation, and drainage systems should be done by a professional.
There’s a difference between professional work and something you’d see in your backyard. That difference will become even more noticeable as time progresses.
Another thing to keep in mind?
Maintenance.
Yeah, that beautiful lawn of yours is going to look amazing when spring comes around. But are you going to want to mow that lawn every other day once we reach those hot summer months? No…
Factor in maintenance when deciding on what projects you want to take care of this spring.
Spring into action the RIGHT way
Before you start running wild and choosing all of these projects that you want to get done this spring, there are a few things you should consider first.
Take inventory.
Grab a pen and paper. Walk around your property and really take your time to notice what you currently enjoy about your outdoor space and what you don’t like.
Do you find yourself in the backyard hanging out by your fire pit a lot? Maybe you should think about adding a patio surrounding your fire feature.
No one hangs by your pool because it has no surrounding landscaping? Maybe it’s time to add some beautiful plants and flowers around your pool.
As you’re walking around your property, you’ll start to notice what areas you can improve or change.
Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.
Just because you want to add a patio this spring doesn’t mean you can’t add a fire feature next spring.
Think of improving your outdoor space as a 5-year plan. Some years you’ll be able to accomplish more than other years. And that’s okay!
If you can get the majority of your projects done all at once, that’s awesome! But if you can’t, that’s perfectly fine too.
You wouldn’t leave your interior home improvements to the last minute. So why do that with your outdoor space?
Let’s wrap this up
Every homeowner deserves to enjoy their outdoor space this summer.
Completing your projects this spring will reduce your stress levels when it comes to not having to worry about rushing to get things done. You’ll also save your wallet by completing your projects before all of your neighbors do.
Remember:
- Landscaping should always be done first.
- Spring is the best time to start your projects.
- Hire professionals to help save you time and headaches.
- Think about how much maintenance your project will need.
