Learn the pros and cons of a patio installation in winter.
When the temperatures drop in Montgomery County and snow is inevitable, most Collegeville and nearby homeowners put off their backyard patio project until spring. People don’t think it’s a possibility, but we have installed patios throughout the winter with great success. By installing a tent, you can protect the project and the installers from the harsh elements.
Should you install a patio in the winter in the Collegeville area?
Yes, but understand the advantages and disadvantages before making your decision. If you decide to install your patio or walkway in the winter, there are some very compelling advantages and perhaps one disadvantage.
Winter Patio Installation Advantages
Enjoy Immediately Once the Weather Breaks. If you want to start using your patio as soon as the warm weather arrives, then by all means have it installed in the winter. You won’t be delayed enjoying the benefits of your new outdoor living space.
Get Our Full Attention. Our least busiest season is winter and we will have more time to spend on your design. Quite often, your project will be our total focus versus balancing other ongoing projects.
Prices are Decent. Prices are generally a bit lower in the slow season.
Little Disturbance – Since you don’t use your yard in the winter anyway, you won’t have the inconvenience and nuisance of staying away from the site.
Winter Installation Disadvantage
Project Might Move Slowly. We don’t do anything with mortar if temperatures are below freezing so if mortar is needed, it could possibly delay your project until the temperature rises.
Our passion is to create beautiful, functional outdoor settings in spite of the weather. However, we don’t sacrifice quality if the weather is impossible. Knowing what to do and when to do it are key to a successful project and Whitehouse Landscaping’s experience and credentials insure that your project will be done right.
