When most people think about landscaping projects, they picture sunny days and blooming flowers, but here’s an industry secret: some of the best outdoor transformations begin in the off-season.
At Cedarwood Landscaping, winter is when smart clients get ahead, especially when it comes to hardscaping.
Whether you’re dreaming of a stunning patio, a custom outdoor kitchen, a retaining wall, or a full-scale backyard design, the off-season is the perfect time to bring that vision to life.
What Is Hardscaping?
Hardscaping refers to the non-plant elements of your landscape — think stone walkways, fire pits, driveways, steps, outdoor fireplaces, and custom patios.
These are the structural features that give your space function, flow, and architectural appeal. And winter? It’s a great time to build them.

Why Off-Season Hardscaping Just Makes Sense
- Faster Scheduling & Less Waiting: Spring and summer are peak months for installations. By starting now, you can beat the rush, lock in your preferred timeline, and enjoy your completed space as soon as the weather warms up.
- Better Site Access: With dormant plantings and less lawn traffic, winter gives us easier access to build without damaging the surrounding landscape. That means less disruption and less cleanup.
- Time for Custom Design: Hardscaping isn’t one-size-fits-all. It takes planning, precision, and collaboration. Starting in winter gives our designers and clients the time to thoughtfully craft a custom solution that blends seamlessly with your home and lifestyle.
- Plant in Spring, Enjoy All Season: Once hardscaping is complete, we can transition smoothly into planting and softscaping. By April, your space can be ready to go… not just starting.
