Whether you’re looking to add a paver patio, outdoor kitchen or outdoor living space to your Knoxville-area home, or you’re ready to get a new landscape design to add plants and landscape lighting to your outdoor space, it’s important to get the timing right. Being in Knoxville, Tenn., landscape design and installation projects can be done during any season, but what’s the best time to do your next project?
Here’s a list of common Knoxville landscaping projects and the best times of year to tackle the job:
Summer Landscaping Projects
Summer Planning Tip: Many landscaping companies in Knoxville slow down some in the extreme heat and vacation season of July and August, but things pick up again as soon as school starts. Reach out to landscape designers and landscaping contractors during that slow time and you may just get a better deal.

Consider attending the Dogwood Arts House and Garden Show in February to meet with the many Knoxville landscape designers and contractors (including Carex Design Group!) who are there to meet with potential clients.
