Did you know scheduling your xeriscaping or landscaping project in December could save you up to 40%? It may sound surprising, but the winter off-season unlocks serious advantages that make your dream yard more affordable.

​

We’ll break down exactly why now is the smartest time to book—and how you can benefit from lower prices, faster service, and off-season perks.

​

🌱 Why December is the Sweet Spot

​

1. Less Demand = Lower Prices
Winter is the slow season. With fewer homeowners booking projects, companies drop prices to stay busy. You’re not competing for availability, which means better rates—and many pass on nursery or material discounts too

2. Crews Are More Available
No more waiting weeks for your slot. Winter bookings move fast. You’ll get more scheduling flexibility, quicker job starts, and finish times that beat the spring rush.

​

3. Lower Fuel & Logistics Costs
Cooler months often bring lower gas prices and less traffic, which cuts travel and material delivery costs. Landscapers can offer better quotes because it costs them less to operate.
