Fortunately, if you’re reading this, you may be thinking about installing a new fence for your home. And guess what? If you’re reading this during the winter (or fall), you should know that installing a fence during winter is actually advantageous in numerous ways. Here are three in particular.
1. You’ll Likely Get it Installed Faster
Spring and early summer tend to be peak times for fence installations. You know how it goes: things like landscaping and fence projects seem to be more top-of-mind during the warmer months when you’re outside more often. This leads to many people scheduling their new fence installations during the spring, which may result in wait times due to personnel being busy with all the installations. Supply chain issues from sudden increased demand can also be a factor these days as well.
Installing a fence in the winter months can often avoid holdups like these and ensure your fence is in the ground and ready to go in plenty of time before the spring arrives and ushers in the warmer months where you’ll be outside enjoying your property more.
2. It’s Easier on Your Yard
Another great benefit of installing a fence in the winter? Most of your yard is probably dead! This can make it easier to clear out things like plants, shrubs, and existing landscaping that may otherwise be difficult and time-consuming to get rid of when they’re flourishing in the spring and summer.
Digging up your yard and any landscaping in the path is typically an unavoidable part of a new fence installation. However, if you get the installation done while your yard is dormant from the cold weather, you can be assured it will be “healed” in time for the spring season when everything grows back. This also gives your yard more time to adjust and grow back, which helps minimize that fresh construction look a new installation often creates after being completed.
3. Installing a Fence During Winter Won’t Interrupt Your Yard Activities and Maintenace
For most property owners, a new fence installation during the spring and summer can get in the way of things like pool time and playing with the kids in the yard—both during and a little after the installation is complete. Since outside time is greatly reduced during the winter, you won’t have to worry about interrupting your valuable time in the yard during the peak of the outdoor season—whether you’re lounging by the pool, having a catch, or tending to your landscaping needs.
