Did you know winter is a perfect time to start planning your spring landscaping? The landscaping specialists at Ideal Supplies in Ludlow, KY, recommend stocking up now on landscape supplies to save money and avoid delays in turning your yard into an attractive outdoor living space once temperatures begin to warm.

Consider these benefits of planning your landscape design before spring arrives:

Time to Assess Your Current Landscaping

Taking a walk around your garden or lawn in cooler months can reveal your past successes and failures. Which plants died? Which plants survived? Decide which ones you’ll plant again, and which ones you’d rather replace.

Research Your Options & Make a Plan

A solid landscape design takes time to conceptualize and plan. You can research examples of similar projects to decide what types of features you like, find plants that will thrive in your climate or soil, learn about the various landscaping supplies you’ll need to complete your vision, and plan where to store the materials until spring arrives.

Shopping Early Saves You Money

You can find special deals on landscape supplies in the off-season when hardware stores are preparing for new inventory. Taking the time to prepare a budget for your landscaping project can help you prioritize your wants and needs. If you plan to add a retaining wall, for example, you’ll find gravel, rocks, and tools at good prices year-round at Ideal Supplies.

Avoid Sold-Out Items

Many people are excited about spring and rush out to begin their landscaping projects as soon as warm weather arrives. Unfortunately, some items can quickly sell out, delaying your plans. Stocking up during winter helps you avoid that rush and demand.

Ideal Supplies carries quality landscape supplies at competitive prices. Stop by their Ludlow store, or call (859) 491-6666 to talk about your next landscaping or garden project. You can also learn more about their services online.
