How does weather affect the landscaping timeline?

Weather plays a significant role in the timeline of a landscaping project. Adverse conditions such as heavy rain, extreme temperatures, or snow can delay ground preparation, planting, and construction activities. 

 

At Vivid Scapes, we plan projects with local weather patterns in mind and provide flexible scheduling to accommodate unexpected weather changes. We aim to minimise delays while ensuring the work is completed safely and to high standards. 

​

​

​

​

How long does a typical landscaping project take?

​

The duration of a typical landscaping project can vary widely based on several factors, including the size and complexity of the project, weather conditions, and material availability. Smaller projects may take a few days to a couple of weeks, while larger, more intricate designs could take several weeks to a few months. At Vivid Scapes, we aim to provide an accurate timeline during our initial consultation, tailored specifically to your project's requirements.

​

​

Do I need to be present during the landscaping work?

We just need access to your garden, typically through a gate, to carry out the work. Rest assured, our team will handle everything with the utmost care and respect for your property.

​

​

How can I ensure my pets or children are safe during the landscaping process?

​

Safety is a top priority for Vivid Scapes, especially when it comes to your loved ones and pets. Before we start your landscaping project, we'll discuss safety measures and set up designated safe zones if needed. We advise keeping pets and children indoors or in a secure area away from the work site during active landscaping hours. Our team will also ensure that all tools and materials are safely stored away at the end of each day to prevent any accidents.

​

These options are designed to make the payment process as convenient as possible while allowing you to budget effectively for your landscaping transformation.
