When we think of the changing seasons, spring and summer are often thought of as the best times for completing paver patios or other outdoor projects. There is a common misconception that paver hardscapes cannot be installed in cooler
months. However, in many ways this is far from the truth. In fact, under the right weather conditions, winter is the best time to install your paved spaces.
Maximum Enjoyment
For those planning on including a firepit or outdoor fireplace into their designs. Installing during the winter will allow you to start enjoying these features as soon as your project is completed. It also means that as soon as the spring air rolls in, you could be spending time in your new space rather than waiting for construction to begin.
Weather Benefits
In spring you have a higher chance of heavy rain, which can cause delays in the construction process. While a small amount of rain will have no effect on installation, heavy rain can make the construction process more difficult. For homeowners worried about how construction and debris might affect the surrounding landscape. Between November-March your lawn and vegetation will enter a dormant state, lowering the chances of harm caused to them. If you are adding landscaping as part of your design and the ground is not frozen, winter is also a perfect time for planting!
Save more, worry less
Spring and summer are usually busier months for contractors. This could mean a longer wait time for construction crew availability. Starting the process in the fall or winter can ensure an even greater customer experience and an overall faster turnaround. Not to mention, during the slower season there are more promotions available, giving you the best deal possible!
While a winter remodel might not be the first thing that comes to mind when planning your next home renovation. If the ground is dry and temperatures are not freezing, installing paver hardscapes in winter can provide many benefits for homeowners.
