Why Is Fall the Best Time for New Landscaping Projects?

There are countless reasons why fall is the ideal season for starting new landscaping projects, and it all begins with one simple truth: it’s easier.

When you start a landscape renovation or new garden in the fall, you’re working with nature, not against it. The cooler temperatures and increased rainfall allow plants to acclimate to their new environment without stress. The plant roots establish quickly, and homeowners don’t have to worry about watering or weeding in that first year. By the time spring arrives, the plants are already secretly thriving. And if you’ve chosen native species, watering won’t be necessary in the future—unless we experience a drought.

But that’s not all.

Fall also offers a safer and more enjoyable experience for anyone doing the physical work. Homeowners and professionals alike avoid the risks of heat exhaustion, sunburn, dehydration, and mosquito bites. The crisp autumn air smells amazing and the foliage is spectacular. Without question, working outside becomes a pleasure, not a chore. Spending a few hours in the garden during fall feels refreshing and fulfilling.

Come spring, your fall-planted landscape practically takes care of itself. The plants will burst to life with minimal maintenance—just some occasional weeding and trimming. By summer, you’ll be surrounded by a sea of blooms, enjoying the effortless beauty of your native plant garden.
