 From our Landscape Architect 

"Scheduling Landscape with Tom's Thumb"  by Janielle Guzinski 

 

We are always glad to hear from our customers that they want us to come to their house and rework their landscape.  You are our loyal customers and we want to fulfill all your landscaping needs from new landscapes to renovating existing landscapes.

 

The major factors to consider when scheduling large landscaping jobs are:  

  • Is there going to be lots of salt on the wind at my house?
  • How much protection does my property have from the cold, northern wind?
  • Is it too hot or cold for sod to take easily?
  • Is my yard protected or exposed?
As always, we are glad to give you a consultation and work your landscape around your timeline so that growing conditions are ideal for you and your landscape.

The following charts are to give you information about when the best conditions for your individual job may be.  The darker the color, the better suited the conditions are for landscaping.
