Why Winter is the Best Time to Build Your Garden

Most people think of gardens in summer - long evenings, lush planting, and BBQs with friends. But when it comes to building your garden, winter might just be the smartest time of all.


Here’s why:


1. Less Disruption in Your Daily Life

You’re indoors more in winter, so building during this time means less disruption to how you use your outdoor space.


2. Better for Plants and Structures

Cooler, wetter months are often ideal for planting trees and shrubs, giving them time to establish before summer. Dry summer soil can delay installations and increase plant stress.


3. Your Garden is Ready by Spring

Imagine stepping out into a finished, blooming garden as soon as the sun returns. No mud, no delays, just a space that’s ready to enjoy.


4. We Work Year-Round

At MRLandscapes, we design and build bespoke gardens all year round. Our winter schedules fill up fast, but we’re currently taking bookings for autumn/winter 2025.


If you’re dreaming of a new garden, now’s the time to start planning.

Let us take care of the process - from design to build - and deliver a timeless, crafted outdoor space that’s ready when you need it most.
