Planning Ahead: Winter Is the Perfect Time for Landscape Design

30 January 2026

Even though your landscape may look quiet this time of year, winter is actually one of the best seasons to start planning outdoor improvements. With more time to think, evaluate, and design, you can get ahead of spring demand and ensure your project is first on the schedule once warmer weather returns. At Fox Hollow, we help homeowners turn winter planning into beautiful spring results.

How Fox Hollow Prepares Your Property and Tools for Spring Success

A successful spring begins with smart winter preparation. Beyond our design services, Fox Hollow offers seasonal maintenance and expert guidance so your property is ready when the temperatures rises.

Our team can help with:

  • Irrigation system winter care to prevent damage and ensure a smooth spring restart.
  • Drainage and grading evaluations while the ground is bare and issues are most visible.
  • Winter tool maintenance tips, from sharpening pruners to storing equipment properly, helping you avoid early-season setbacks.
  • Garden planning guidance, including bed layout reviews and plant selection for your spring projects.

Winter is the perfect time to get ahead of the tasks that make spring gardening easier and more enjoyable.

Why Winter Is the Perfect Time to Plan Your Next Landscape Project with Fox Hollow

While your yard rests, winter is an ideal season to work with Fox Hollow’s design team. Our experts help you envision and plan new outdoor living spaces, hardscapes, and plantings so everything is ready for installation once spring arrives.

Designing in winter offers several key advantages:

  • Better project scheduling, ensuring your installation begins early in the spring.
  • Clear visibility of your property’s structure makes it easier to identify grading needs, drainage issues, or layout improvements.
