As the snow starts to melt and warmer days peek around the corner, many homeowners begin thinking about their outdoor spaces. But here’s the truth: if you’re waiting until spring to start your patio project, you’re already behind.
At LawnScapes, we see it every year—contractor schedules fill up fast, material lead times increase, and before you know it, summer is halfway over and you’re still staring at an empty backyard. That’s why smart homeowners in Southwest Ohio start early. Here’s why now is the best time to design and build your patio:
1. Get Ahead of the Rush
Spring is prime season for outdoor construction—and that means demand is at an all-time high. By planning and scheduling your patio build now, you can:
- Lock in premium scheduling before the calendar fills up
- Avoid long lead times for materials and permits
- Enjoy your patio as soon as the warm weather hits
2. Enjoy Your Backyard All Season Long
Starting now means your patio will be ready to go by the time your family is ready to be outside. No waiting, no delays, no construction noise in the middle of your summer gatherings.
- Host early spring cookouts
- Set up lounge furniture as soon as the sun comes out
- Beat your neighbors to the ultimate backyard setup
3. Better Ground Conditions for Construction
While spring rain can create delays and muddy messes, late winter often provides more stable, frozen ground that’s ideal for heavy equipment and foundation work.
- Reduces soil displacement and drainage issues
- Helps hardscape features like retaining walls and pavers stay level and secure
4. More Time for Custom Design
Rushed spring projects often mean settling for basic layouts or last-minute changes. When you start now, you can:
- Work closely with our design team to create a truly custom layout
- Choose premium materials without worrying about backorders
- Build exactly what you want—not what’s available last-minute
5. Maximize ROI and Home Value
A beautifully designed patio is one of the highest-ROI upgrades you can make to your home. By starting your project now, you get to enjoy the benefits sooner and showcase the upgrade if you ever list your home.
- Increased curb appeal and usable square footage
- Enhances lifestyle and resale value
- Makes your home stand out in spring and summer real estate listings
