Start on your new backyard now or wait until next year?

What are your reasons for waiting until next year to start on your new backyard? Seriously though, we are sure there are a few or maybe a thousand good reasons. We want to know, is there a downside?

It's undeniable that the backyard is where family and friends gather for occasions, big and small, special or not. However, I'd argue that any occasion when family and friends are gathered is always special. These spaces are where stories are swapped. New generations learn from old. When you have an outdoor living space that is relaxing, enjoyable, and comfortable, those occasions seem to be even more special.

Don’t go at it alone.

A backyard renovation can be a bit daunting and it's certainly something you want to make sure is done correctly. After all, this is going to be your family's gathering space, likely for decades.

We often hear from clients who abandoned another process because unanswered questions fueled doubt and left them feeling uneasy about what was actually going to take place. I makes sense because a good contractor’s job is to answer your questions and alleviate those doubts. That’s why you hire them: For their expertise, workmanship, and ability to answer questions.

What’s missing?

Every day that you avoid taking the first step means that is another day you’re not enjoying your new outdoor living space. It’s another chance for someone else to have started their backyard renovation, possibly pushing you further down the schedule. Waiting another day is closer to the winter when it becomes more difficult for crews to dig, build, and work. And, probably most importantly, it means you’re not planning any family gatherings until next year. Or possibly even the year after, depending on how large your project is.

Don’t like being surprised?

The average backyard renovation can take about four to six months or longer to plan and create. That’s from the time you pick up the phone to the time you’re ready to move the grill in place. And you don’t want to be disappointed that your contractor may already have jobs lined up from clients that have already made the call.

Talk to anyone who has made the call and is already enjoying their own backyard. You will never hear someone say they were glad they waited. I think you’ll be very hard-pressed to hear someone say, “I’m glad I procrastinated.” Start enjoying your backyard sooner than next year.
