Spring is the perfect time to redesign your garden because the mild weather and temperatures between March and May create ideal conditions for landscaping work, such as laying paving and turf, especially in Devon. Plus, transforming gardens at this time of year helps to ensure all the elements (raised planters, climbing plants, water features, patios and decks, etc.) are well established and looking their best when summer arrives and people want to spend as much time outdoors as possible.
Ask Jacksons Landscape Designs for a bespoke, high-quality garden makeover this spring and you can spring into summer with confidence, as well as enjoy your outdoor space all year round!

The Advantages of Spring Landscaping Projects
Spring is associated with new life, growth and other positive changes in the natural world. It’s ‘a transition time of year’, remarks BBC Weather. What better time to transform your Devon garden!
Undertaking a garden design and landscaping project in spring has significant advantages:
- Spring is a particularly good time to work outside. Your project is unlikely to be hampered by extreme weather. In addition, daylight hours are increasing.
- The earth is warm and moist, not frozen, waterlogged or baked dry. This makes completing groundworks (such as excavation), hard landscaping (installing paving, say) and soft landscaping (planting shrubs, trees, etc.) easier.
- Spring is the best season for growing many types of flowers, herbs and vegetables. Redesign your garden now and you can watch it spring into life!
- Light spring showers provide excellent irrigation. They help new plants to ‘bed in’, thrive and add colour while reducing time spent watering by hand.
- Transforming your garden in the next few months will help you to make the most of it. ‘Don’t wait until June to get your garden in order,’ emphasises Livingetc magazine. The sooner you start, the sooner you can be relaxing, socialising, dining and more outside!
Why Planning Now Means Enjoying Your Garden by Summer
It makes perfect sense to redesign your garden this spring rather than delaying the process until later in the year. Act now and there’ll be plenty of time to plan, refine and complete even a highly ambitious garden design and landscaping project (such as when we built a luxury cabin complete with a bar at one South Devon property) before the height of summer.
Acting now also means you can fulfil your outdoor space’s potential and boost its value as soon as possible, so you’re ready to showcase it in all its glory during the fun-filled summer months.
Shorter Lead Times for Landscaping Projects
Another reason why spring is the perfect time for a garden redesign is it presents you with a window of opportunity to secure the services of our award-winning, in-demand Devon garden design and landscaping team before our appointments book fills up.
Lead times in the landscaping sector are typically much shorter in spring than summer (a couple of weeks rather than a couple of months, say). Plus, you’re likely to have more dates to choose from with regards to when construction begins.
Budget Considerations – Starting Early Can Help You to Spend Wisely
If you turn your attention to steadily getting your garden ready for summer now rather than hastily making changes during the hottest months, it’ll be easier to allocate funds and spread the cost.
You’ll also avoid making rushed decisions. You can spend your money more wisely as you’ll have ample time to decide exactly what you want from your garden. Moreover, you can save money in spring as trade suppliers of paving stones and other landscaping materials, such as Travis Perkins, often have seasonal special offers.
