Designing Your Outdoor Project in Winter: Get Ready to Build in Spring

Winter may not feel like the ideal time to think about your backyard, but it is actually one of the best seasons to start outdoor design planning. While it may be cold or snowy outside, winter is the perfect time to design your outdoor living space so it is fully planned and ready to build as soon as spring arrives.

At Third Space Design Build, we help homeowners use the winter months to design thoughtful, functional, and beautiful outdoor spaces that are ready for construction when warmer weather returns.

Designing your outdoor space in winter allows for a more relaxed and detailed planning process. You have time to consider layout, materials, features, and budget without the pressure of immediate construction. This leads to better decisions and a more cohesive final result.

Many outdoor projects require permits, HOA approvals, or engineering review. Completing these steps during winter keeps your project on track and prevents hold ups in the spring.

Third Space Design Build is a design build landscaping company, which means we handle both the design and construction in house. This streamlined process ensures your outdoor project design is realistic, buildable, and aligned with your budget from the very beginning.

Our in house designer, Jenna, works closely with our construction team to create custom outdoor designs that balance creativity with functionality. This collaboration eliminates gaps between design and construction and results in smoother builds and better outcomes.

Winter is the perfect time to design a wide range of outdoor living features, including:

• Patios and hardscapes

• Outdoor kitchens and grilling areas

• Fire pits and fireplaces

• Pergolas and covered outdoor structures

• Landscape and planting plans

• Outdoor lighting and drainage solutions

By spring, your project is fully designed, approved, and ready to build.

One of the biggest advantages of winter design is timing. When your project is designed ahead of the season, construction can begin sooner. That means you get to enjoy your backyard living space earlier in the year instead of waiting through peak season planning delays.

Even if your yard is covered in snow, winter is the ideal time to start planning your custom outdoor living space. The team at Third Space Design Build is ready to help you design now so your project is ready to build in spring.
