When Kansas City is buried under snow and the weekends are cold and quiet, it might not feel like landscaping season—but this is actually the perfect time to plan. A snowy weekend gives you the breathing room to think ahead and start shaping the outdoor space you want to enjoy all spring, summer, and fall.

At SK Lawn and Landscape, we see winter as the starting line for the best outdoor projects of the year.

Why Winter Is the Best Time to Plan Spring Landscaping

Once temperatures rise, contractors book up fast. Homeowners who plan early get more flexibility, better timelines, and fewer rushed decisions.

Taking time now allows you to:

• Clearly define your outdoor goals

• Set a realistic budget

• Explore design ideas without pressure

• Schedule projects early for spring installation

By the time the ground thaws, you’re ready to move—while others are still scrambling.

Imagine Your Ideal Outdoor Living Space

Cold weather is great for dreaming big. Think about how you actually want to use your yard this year.

Ask yourself:

• Do you want a patio or paver space for entertaining?

• Would a fire pit extend your outdoor season?

• Is your landscape low-maintenance—or could it be better?

• Do you want more privacy, seating, or usable space?

SK Lawn and Landscape specializes in custom outdoor living spaces that fit how Kansas City homeowners live—functional, durable, and beautiful without being high-maintenance.

Spring Landscaping Projects Worth Planning Now

Winter planning is ideal for:

• Patio pavers and hardscaping

• Fire pits and permanent outdoor seating

• Landscape edging and defined beds

• Planting design for trees, shrubs, and flowers

• Mulch and rock bed layouts

• Full yard refreshes and outdoor transformations

Early planning ensures materials, layouts, and timelines are locked in before spring demand peaks.
