Timing is Everything When It Comes to Installation

Peer Landscaping of Fort Myers, FLAsk anyone how their home renovation project is going and the classic complaint is how long it’s taking to complete. After all, nobody enjoys living in a construction site, and we’ve all had plenty of that post Hurricane Ian. But there’s no getting around the fact that creation takes time. Over the past few weeks, our landscape design build experts at Peer Landscaping have been sharing the important steps you need to take before hiring a landscape company to create a new yard and garden for your Southwest Florida home. So far we’ve discussed creating goals, and a budget range for your project, as well as looking at what type of company you need to hire, the next thing to consider is time.

One of the important considerations to keep in mind when you are thinking about your goals is your landscape installation and maturation timeline. There is more to this consideration than you may know. For example, right now many homeowners here in Southwest Florida are having work done to repair the damage from Hurricane Ian. At Peer Landscaping, we’ve been planning our new landscaping installations around the other construction work people are having done at their homes. Because we don’t want to install fragile new plants in places where they may be trampled by contractors putting on a new roof, or installing new hurricane windows. So we must discuss the timing of all of the other repairs being done to your home and work around it.

The next timing consideration is to look at your goals for the finished project. Do you have guests coming to stay with you? Is there a backyard family wedding planned? Are you updating your landscape for curb appeal and want to put your house on the market on a specific date?

Gardens don’t grow overnight, and installation could involve excavation and construction, all of which can have your yard looking like a work in progress for some time. When you ask us how long installation will take, we must take several factors into consideration ourselves. These include: the scope of the project and the size of yard we are landscaping, availability and delivery of plants and materials, whether or not there are hardscapes to build or water features to install.

If you do indeed have a tighter timeline, bring it up in our initial meeting so we can plan for that, because the time it takes for a landscape design to look more established depends on the type of plants we choose, how mature the plants are when we plant them, and where they are planted. If you’ve got an event planned or want to sell your home soon after, it may make sense to splurge on more mature plant and tree specimens, and fill in with ornamental grasses and groundcovers which grow more quickly.
