When is the Best Time to Hire a Landscaper?

Fall is the best time to hire a landscaping company! In the fall work slows down and landscapers are hungry for business. This means prices drop and availability rises. In the spring and summer, you must book ahead to schedule a landscaper, but in the fall you can get service almost immediately. You can count on the highest quality work as landscapers are not pressured to finish the job so they can get on to the next assignment.

Conveniently, the fall is the best time for planting trees and grass; planting spring bulbs such as tulips, daffodils, and crocus; and putting in perennials in a timely fashion so that they will make a big spring time show. 

Best of all, landscapers are hungry for assignments that take them through to the winter shutdown.  And that works out great for customers, because scheduling is easier in the fall, and if the work shuts down due to cold weather and snow, it will start up again with top priority in the spring. (And here's a little tip. Pay your landscaper a good chunk of the fee in the fall. Don't stint, because fall work, such as edging, aerating, and planting are important and time consuming. At the same time, save part of the fee for the spring. This will be an incentive for the landscaper to return early and finish the work that didn't get completed in the late fall.) So even though its getting towards late fall, and you're not sure how much longer your landscaper can work, put in your bid now. Agree on the work and make a down payment and you're sure to get top priority in the early spring, when the ground thaws and the weather starts to warm, signaling that it's time for landscaping to resume.
