When to hire
Peak Season
Spring and summer (April-September) are the busiest months. Popular landscapers book up quickly - many are fully committed by March for the upcoming season.
Best Time to Book
Late fall or early spring for hardscaping projects - better availability and sometimes lower prices. Fall is actually ideal for planting trees and shrubs. Book early (January-February) for spring/summer work.
