SET THE SCENE FOR NEXT SUMMER<br />
Why autumn is the ideal<br />
time to begin your landscape<br />
makeover<br />
Autumn is not the<br />
end of outdoor living;<br />
it’s the beginning of<br />
crafting your ideal<br />
summer landscape.<br />
by Goom<br />
As the vibrant colours of autumn leaves begin to paint the<br />
landscape, it’s not just a time for stacking your firewood, and<br />
taking your coats and scarves out of storage – it’s the perfect<br />
season to plan and start your landscaping projects. When summer<br />
fades, the hushed calm of autumn provides an ideal backdrop for<br />
transformation. Let’s explore why this season of change is your<br />
golden opportunity to create an outdoor oasis ready to bloom for<br />
next summer.<br />
Embrace the design phase without rush<br />
Autumn gifts you the luxury of time. With the bustling activities of<br />
summer behind us, the colder months allow for thoughtful planning<br />
and unhurried creativity. Whether you’re envisioning a serene garden<br />
retreat or a lively entertainment space, you can collaborate with our<br />
professional Landscape Architects to perfect your vision and ensure<br />
every detail of your dream backyard is meticulously crafted.<br />
Navigate permits and consents with ease<br />
Many landscaping projects, especially those involving significant<br />
structural changes like pool installations, require permits and<br />
consent from our local City Council. Starting in autumn means<br />
you’ll be ahead of the spring rush when homeowners flood<br />
planning offices with applications. By pro-actively managing these<br />
administrative tasks early, you can avoid potential delays so you are<br />
swimming and entertaining when summer arrives.<br />
Install pools for a splash-ready summer<br />
Imagine the first warm day of next summer, and your pool is already<br />
glistening in the sunlight, beckoning for a refreshing dip. Achieving<br />
this requires foresight, as pool installations are complex projects that<br />
benefit from the autumn’s stable weather patterns and contractor<br />
schedules. By starting in autumn, you ensure that excavation,<br />
installation and landscaping are completed without the pressure of<br />
looming summer deadlines.<br />
Create cosy corners with outdoor fires and pizza ovens<br />
As the evenings grow crisp, there’s no better time to appreciate<br />
the allure of an outdoor fire feature or the rustic charm of a pizza<br />
oven. Initiating these projects in autumn means they’ll be ready for<br />
those early spring gatherings, extending your outdoor living season.<br />
The completion of these projects in autumn or winter provides an<br />
opportunity for immediate enjoyment and testing before the summer<br />
festivities begin.<br />
In essence, autumn is not the end of outdoor living; it’s the beginning<br />
of crafting your ideal summer landscape. By leveraging the season’s<br />
advantages, you’ll be sipping your craft beers or buttery chards, and<br />
hosting barbecues in a beautifully transformed space that was once<br />
just an autumn dream. Call Goom Landscapes today, and turn the<br />
falling leaves into rising possibilities for your home’s outdoor future.<br />
