Why March is the Best Month for Hardscape Planning
As the snow melts and the first hints of spring appear, most homeowners are thinking about indoor spring cleaning. However, if you want a beautiful outdoor living space this summer, March is your “Golden Window.” Many people wait until the first 70-degree Saturday in May to visit a supply yard, only to find that popular pavers are on backorder or delivery schedules are weeks out.
The Strategy of Planning Early
Planning in March allows you to do the “brain work” before the physical work begins. Start by sketching your space. Are you looking for a quiet nook for coffee or a sprawling patio for entertaining? Once you have a footprint, you can choose materials that complement your home’s architecture.
Calculate Your Tonnage
At Venetia Landscape Supply, we help you move beyond guesswork. A successful hardscape requires more than just pavers; it requires a calculated volume of sub-base (modified stone) and leveling sand. By planning now, you can arrange for bulk delivery of these heavy materials while your driveway is clear and your schedule is open, ensuring that the moment the ground is workable, you are ready to dig.
