Here are some great landscape projects you can complete during the cooler months.
As a crisp coolness settles over Maryland, many of us think it’s time to put our landscape projects on hold. However, at Lehnhoff’s Supply, we know that the cooler months are actually the perfect time to tackle some of the most rewarding outdoor projects.
The less intense sun and often damp soil make for ideal working conditions. Plus, getting a head start in the fall and winter means your yard will be ready to show off the moment spring arrives.
Here are some great landscape projects you can complete during the cooler months.
Elegant Stone Patios
Have you been dreaming of a new outdoor living space? Fall and winter are the best times to install a beautiful stone patio. The cooler temperatures make the physical labor more comfortable. Paver stones, available in various colors and sizes, create a natural, inviting space for a cozy seating area.
Consider how you’ll utilize the space. Include room for a dining table, outdoor sofa, or even a small outdoor kitchen. Ensure proper drainage by slightly sloping the patio away from your home. Incorporate curves or geometric patterns to break up large spaces. Add a pergola or retractable awning for shade and ambiance. For smaller yards, a cozy corner patio with built-in benches can maximize space.
Gorgeous Fire Pits
Who doesn’t love gathering around a crackling fire on a chilly evening? A custom-built stone fire pit can be the heart of your backyard. This is a project that you can enjoy immediately after it’s completed. We offer a range of options to help you build the perfect place for s’mores and memories.
Choose a style that complements your home—rustic stone for a natural look, sleek metal for a modern vibe, or a portable fire bowl for flexibility. Circular fire pits encourage conversation, while rectangular designs can double as a low wall or seating.
Gravel Driveways & Pathways
If your existing gravel driveway or pathway needs a refresh, or you’re looking to install a new one, cooler months are an excellent time for this project. We offer a wide variety of gravel, including different sizes and colors, to help you create a durable and aesthetically pleasing surface for your property.
Add Edging to Your Garden Beds
Winter is the time to plan and prepare your garden beds for next year’s blooms. Adding a decorative stone border is a fantastic way to define your planting areas and add a touch of elegance. You can choose between river rock, small flagstone pieces, and other decorative stones perfect for creating clean, long-lasting edges around your flower beds or pathways.
