The holiday decorations are coming down, the wrapping paper has been cleared away, and we’re officially settled into the heart of an Iowa winter. While you’re tucked away inside staying warm, the area outside your front door is probably the last thing on your mind.

However, at Greenspace, we know that the best gift for your home often isn’t the one found in a box under the tree… it’s the one you plan together for the months ahead. Even though the holidays are behind us and there’s a chill in the air, January is the absolute best time to start the conversation about your outdoor space.

Here is why an updated landscape is the gift that keeps on giving, and why “thinking green” in the middle of a Quad Cities winter is a pro move.

An Investment That Grows With You

Most holiday gadgets are forgotten by mid-January. A revamped outdoor space is different. It adds permanent value to your life. You might want a welcoming front entrance or a stone patio for BBQs. Either way, you are investing in years of memories. You aren’t just buying a one-time thrill.

Secure Your Spot in the Spring Lineup

In the landscaping world, the “Early Bird” gets the crew. Our schedule fills up fast. By the first warm day in March or even earlier in February, we are often booked for months.

Start your planning now to get these benefits:

  • Jump to the front of the line: You won’t have to wait until July to start.
  • Beat the April rush: You avoid the chaos of the spring peak.
  • Maximize your season: We finish your project sooner. You get to enjoy the space all summer long.

Something to Look Forward to

Let’s face it: Midwest winters can feel long once the holiday lights come down. There is a special kind of excitement that comes from sitting around the fireplace in January and dreaming about new stone textures or where that perfect specimen tree will go.

Bringing the family together to talk about your vision turns a cold winter month into a season of anticipation. It’s a “placeholder” for sunshine and green grass during the grayest part of the year.

Smart Budgeting and Selection

Planning now gives you the luxury of time. You can explore different materials and layouts without the pressure of a construction crew waiting at your door next week. It allows you to make informed decisions so that every dollar spent goes toward making your property your favorite place to be.

Give Yourself and Your Family the Gift of a Better Outdoor Space

The holidays might be over, but your outdoor plans are just beginning. This year, don’t just settle for another year of a “fine” landscape. Give your family a destination- a place to gather, a place to relax, and a reason to get outside.

Ready to start dreaming? Even while the ground is frozen, our team at Greenspace is ready to talk about your vision. Let’s get you on the books now so you can be the first one enjoying the sun this spring.
