Today – it’s a rainy, dreary October day. It’s hard to think of doing anything outside. But stop. Now is the perfect time to get that landscaping project that you’ve had planned - completed. With the busy summer season behind, you can think about that “outdoor room” you’ve wanted, a new patio, just a few trees to provide shade for next summer – a perennial garden – whatever you want – created and installed now. By doing a landscape project yet this fall, you will be able to enjoy it from the get go next spring – not including enjoying it yet this fall and winter. Landscape contractors book up early in the spring so even with the best intentions – you might not be able to get a project started until part way through the season next year. Beat the rush and have it done now!
This week we started a renovation of a front yard here in Northfield. Their current landscape had become a little over-grown and needed a facelift. We are creating an intimate coffee patio for them. A one tier boulder wall will provide definition to the area, and when it is done – will have plants that offer privacy from the street and a place where they can enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning and enjoy the sunrise, or after a busy day at work – unwind and discuss the day. We’ll complete this next week, and with the warm Indian Summer days (and evenings) to come - they will be able to enjoy their new patio. It holds many holiday decorating ideas and will be ready for those spring days when we’re all anxious to get outside.
