When to Start Planning Your Perfect Summer Patio (Hint: It’s Earlier Than You Think)

Dreaming of warm summer days spent on a stunning patio, hosting barbecues, or enjoying a quiet moment with your morning coffee? If so, it’s time to start planning—but here’s the catch: you should begin as early as February!

Here’s why this is the perfect time to kick off your patio project and how it sets you up for success:

1. Source Materials Before They’re Gone

Outdoor furniture, patio pavers, and décor items often see high demand by late spring. By starting your search in in late January or early February, you’ll have access to the best selection and can avoid potential supply chain delays that might affect your timeline.

2. Schedule Labor Before the Spring Rush

Landscapers, contractors, and other outdoor specialists book up quickly once the weather warms. Contacting them in early on ensures you secure your preferred dates and gives them ample time to prepare for your project.

3. Plan for Custom Designs

If your dream patio involves custom features like built-in seating, outdoor kitchens, or unique landscaping, these elements take time to design and source. Starting early allows for careful planning without feeling rushed.

4. Prepare for Permits (If Needed)

Some patio projects require local permits, which can take weeks to process. Starting your plans in early means any red tape will be cleared long before summer arrives.

5. Stay Ahead of Weather Delays

By getting everything lined up early, you’ll have flexibility in case unexpected weather in early spring delays construction.

6. Enjoy Your Patio All Summer Long

Starting in February means your patio will be ready by the time summer kicks off, allowing you to maximize its use all season.
