As Summer is officially ending, it’s a fantastic time to get a new landscape designed and built. Trees, shrubs and perennials all do very well with being planted this time of year. The typical rainfall and cooler temperatures keep plants from getting stressed. There’s also plenty of blooms and foliage colour to be enjoyed in the Autumn months. Many plants continue to provide colour until around the first snowfall. Although, a thoughtfully designed landscape will give plenty of visual interest in Winter.
If you plan to build extensive terracing, decks and hardscaping, many contractors prefer to work on these projects during cooler months. Having a comfortable contractor, means you’ll likely get a carefully built finished product. Remember to hire a professional landscape designer or architect to design the landscape. Don’t rely on a contractor to give you professional results without a design. It’s always nice to see a properly designed plan in three dimensions, so ask your designer to arrange a scale model. This allows you to visually walk through a landscape before it’s built. For more information about landscape design, visit the Chicago Botanic Garden website.
