Every spring, We are always surprised and humbled by how many people contact us seeking our assistance in designing, estimating, selecting plants, and installing their landscaping projects within a few weeks. Radiant Landscape Design and Build is extremely grateful for the master garden designers and landscape architects we have on staff. However, we are not magicians. Our business has noticed that recently when potential clients reach out to us, they are often disappointed or surprised to find out that we cannot accommodate their needs.
It’s a fact that great outdoor spaces don’t come together overnight. It takes time to plan, estimate, and install a beautiful garden. Typically, we are fully booked for the spring and early summer as soon as the first warm spring days arrive. I’ve spoken with many small businesses in the area, and they all confirm that this is quite common. Most talented landscapers are booked well in advance. We often secure spring projects in the fall preceding the season. This scheduling is ideal because it allows us to design all our spring work during the fall and winter, and then execute it when the warm weather arrives.
Creating a landscape on your property involves several steps, including filling out an online form, meeting with the designer, and ultimately completing the landscaping project. This process is lengthy and requires multiple meetings, as well as significant office work and design efforts. A reputable company should have a backlog that extends throughout the entire spring season. It’s important to question any business that claims to be able to take on a project at the drop of a hat.
We would strongly advise anyone looking to give their outdoor space a fresh look for spring to contact landscape companies as early as possible in the fall. This will provide ample time for meetings, estimates, and decisions to be made well in advance of the spring work.
