Why Spring is the Best Time to Plan a Garden Redesign

Meteorologically, March 1st marked the first day of spring and the recognisable shift in the air brings great hope to many. From this point on, days become noticeably longer, temperatures are on the rise, and plants begin to break dormancy.

For gardeners, it also signals the start of outdoor preparation, such as soil improvement, pruning, and early planting and sowing. It couldn't be a more exciting time of year in the garden and it’s also the perfect moment to start planning your garden design project.

Here’s why getting in touch early makes a big difference:

Designers Book Up Early

Garden designers often get fully booked for spring and summer projects, especially in Cambridge. Contacting a designer early ensures you can secure a slot and allows plenty of time for planning, sourcing materials, and scheduling work. Waiting too long can delay your garden project by weeks or even months.

Planting Season Timing

The optimal planting windows for plants, shrubs, and trees are spring and autumn (although you can plant throughout the year), so planning your garden renovation now ensures that your planting is timed perfectly for healthy growth, vibrant flowers, and long-lasting results.

Budget Planning

Garden redesign projects involve materials, plants, labour, and specialist features. Planning ahead gives you time to set a realistic budget, source materials, and explore design options.
