Why Wait Until Spring? Plan Your Poolside Renovation Now
As another Long Island summer begins to wind down, many homeowners are looking at their backyards and thinking about what they would like to change next year. Maybe it is a new pool patio, an upgraded outdoor living area, new masonry, or finally replacing an older patio that has seen better days. The natural thought is, “We’ll start planning in the spring.” But why wait?
Right now is actually one of the best times to start planning your backyard renovation. By getting the process started in the fall, you have time to think through the design, select materials, work out the details, and get your project on the schedule before the spring rush begins. Instead of spending the first beautiful weeks of next season surrounded by construction, you can be that much closer to having your backyard ready to enjoy.
A poolside renovation can also be about much more than simply replacing pavers. As you can see from some of our recent work, a project can completely reshape the area around a pool with large-format porcelain, new masonry and stonework, updated steps and landings, retaining or accent walls, and better transitions between the house, pool, landscaping, and entertaining areas. Planning ahead gives us an opportunity to look at the entire space and determine what will work best together.
Fall is also a great time to make decisions without feeling rushed. Colors, textures, paver or porcelain styles, borders, walls, plantings, drainage, lighting, and other details can all be considered as part of one overall plan. That extra planning can make a big difference in how the finished backyard looks and functions.
At Top of the Line Landscaping, we have been transforming Long Island properties since 1991. We handle the details from the early planning stages through the finished project, helping homeowners create outdoor spaces designed around the way they actually want to use their yards.
So, if you are closing out this summer already thinking, “Next year, we’re finally doing the backyard,” there is no reason to wait until next year to get started.
Start planning now. Get ahead of the spring rush. And when pool season comes back around, you could be enjoying the backyard you spent all winter looking forward to.
