What Does Royal Creations Do in the Winter? 

You might think that since Royal Creations Architectural Landscaping is a landscape design and construction company that winter is our down season.  We actually do keep busy in the winter.  In fact, we are running the following special for winter.

From now through Dec. 15th, any new installation contracts will receive a 5% discount if the contract is signed by the 15th.  Any new design contracts will receive a 25% discount through Dec 15th.  Use discount code "Winter Work" when you schedule your consultation.

Here are some of the types of projects that we work on in the winter. 

Hardscape Installs 

Winter is a good time to install hardscapes.  As long as we have dug out the foundation before the ground freezes, we can still build retaining walls and paver patios in the off-season.  These are items that do not require pouring concrete, so as long as it is warm enough for the Blue Crew to work, we can do it.  Most of our hardscape installations are considered a flexible installation and are set on a base of open-graded aggregate.  We have found that this method works best for drainage, compaction, and settling.  If the temperature is above freezing for several days, we can even pour concrete for patios, sidewalks, and bases to set stone on. 

Landscape Lighting 

Landscape lighting is another activity that is not dependent on warm temperatures.  As long as we have dug the ditches for the wires before it freezes, we can put in lighting wherever you want it.  For some great ideas for what type of lighting to put in, see our articles on lighting innovations for 2022 and automatic low-voltage LED lighting systems. 

If you have an existing lighting system, now is a great time to update it.  We can swap out fixtures, re-aim lights, and add more lighting fixtures to your outdoor living area.  Since the sun sets so early, you can really see the areas that need more light or other help. 

Planning Projects for Spring 

Everyone thinks of new projects in spring when the growing season starts.  However, new projects take time to plan, and our spring schedule fills up quickly with overflow from the previous year’s projects and the rush of new projects that come in with warmer weather.  We typically can get booked out between 8-12 weeks once spring arrives.   Now is one of the best times to plan a new project.  In addition to having time to think about what new features you want and work with us to design them, planning now lets you schedule yourself on our project calendar.  The sooner you do that, the sooner we can build your new features.  Our project calendar is already filling up, so contact us to get an early slot.
