The popular belief is that the best time to install your residential fence is in the spring and summertime. That time is assumed to be best because of the warm temperatures, available sunlight, and generally good weather. However, you don’t need to limit yourself to those two seasons when planning a fence installation. A fall fence installation can save you time and money while you prepare for an easygoing spring and summer with your brand new fence.
Easier Landscaping
Fence contractors always do their best to protect your landscaping from the effects of construction. However, installing a fence can be an invasive process for a lawn, and some plants or shrubs may be damaged. In the cold months, though, those plants are dormant and will not be thwarted by construction. With a fall fence installation, you can install your fence and see your plant life return in the spring unaffected by any construction.
Cost-Effectiveness
While fence contractors are often in high demand during the warmer months, there will be fewer outdoor construction projects in the fall and winter. Because of this, you may be able to find discounts from contractors in the fall or winter because of the higher availability of contractors and materials.
Quick and Efficient Construction
Again, because the demand for fence installation is high during spring and summer, requesting a residential fence project during that time could mean waiting some time for a construction team to be available. There will be fewer customers considering a fall or winter fence project, so during these months, you are more likely to have your project started and finished promptly.
A Fall Fence Installation Prepares You for Spring
Once you have installed your fence by the end of the year, you can rest easy knowing that by the time spring returns, your yard will be complete and ready to impress in the sunlight. You won’t have to worry about cleaning or preparing your yard and shrubs for construction. Instead, you can enjoy your lawn from the first day of spring to the last day of summer, with a brand new fence and beautiful blooming plants.
