BLOG The Four Seasons of Outdoor Design: Craft & Sons' Year-Round Approach Jan 16, 2025

Craft & Sons Landscaping & Snow Removal understands that outdoor design is not just a one-season endeavor. Instead, it is a year-round commitment that can transform your outdoor space into a vibrant extension of your home, regardless of the season. For many homeowners, maintaining a stunning landscape throughout all four seasons can seem daunting. Fortunately, Craft & Sons has a strategic approach to outdoor design that adjusts with the rhythms of nature, ensuring your outdoor spaces remain beautiful and functional year-round.

As we transition through each season, the needs of your landscape change. In spring, for example, focus shifts towards awakening your landscape from its winter slumber. Craft & Sons believes that spring is an ideal time for introducing new plant life and fortifying your existing flora through strategic pruning and fertilization. Additionally, this is the time to inspect and repair hardscapes that may have been damaged by winter’s harsh conditions. Patios and walkways can be power washed and sealed, rejuvenating their appearance and durability.

Summer presents its own unique challenges and opportunities. With longer days and warmer temperatures, summer is the season for maximizing your outdoor living spaces. Craft & Sons recommends installing or upgrading irrigation systems to ensure your garden remains lush and hydrated through the hottest months. This is also a perfect time to enhance your outdoor areas for entertaining. A well-designed patio, complete with seating and shading solutions, can transform your backyard into a paradise retreat. Incorporating water features like fountains or ponds not only boosts aesthetic appeal but also provides a cooling effect.

As autumn arrives, attention shifts towards preparing your landscape for the upcoming winter. Leaf removal is crucial not just for maintaining a tidy appearance, but to prevent mold and fungi from establishing themselves in your grass and plants. Craft & Sons also advises integrating autumnal colors through seasonal plantings. Trees and shrubs with rich reds, oranges, and yellows can add warmth to your landscape. This is the optimal time to plant bulbs that will blossom in spring, providing an advanced head start on next year's garden.

Winter doesn't have to mean the end of outdoor beauty. Craft & Sons provides snow removal services to ensure your landscape remains accessible and safe during snowy conditions. Beyond that, they offer winter pruning services to maintain the health and structure of your plants. Incorporating evergreens, which thrive in the cold months, can keep your garden vibrant even as snow falls. Creative lighting solutions can highlight these winter features, transforming your landscape into a magical wonderland after dusk.
