Save £0000s and Transform Your Outdoor Space!
As the leaves start to turn and the air gets that familiar crispness, many of us are tempted to retreat indoors and leave the garden to fend for itself until next spring. But what if we told you that autumn is actually the best time to plan and begin getting your garden ready for 2025? From huge cost savings 💰💰💰 to better planting conditions 🌱, here’s why getting started now will give you a head start.
1. Garden Landscaper Are Less In Demand Right Now = Lower Prices 💰
One of the biggest cost savings for getting your garden redesigned in autumn is with landscapers. Garden landscapers and designers are often in high demand during spring and early summer when everyone’s trying to refresh their outdoor spaces when the warmer months are just around the corner. However, by autumn, the rush has slowed, meaning there's less demand for landscapers = lower prices to win work in these slower months.
In fact, landscapers can be as much as 30% cheaper during this period compared to the peak season. With less demand on their schedules, you're also more likely to have a say in when the work gets done. Whether you’re planning a complete overhaul or just a few tweaks, autumn is the savvy time to book in. Not only will you save money, but you’ll also avoid the long waits associated with peak season bookings.
2. Huge Savings on Plants ✂️
Autumn is also the perfect time to think ahead and save hundreds on your plants. To buy a mature plant in spring or summer you would normally pay anywhere between £10-£20 per plant, which can soon add up. However, by planning your borders for next year now you can take advantage of the plant discounts in garden centres where this year's stock is being sold off, Many garden centres offer huge savings during the autumn as they look to clear out stock before winter.
Alternatively, you can buy smaller less mature plants now (look for 3x 9cm pot deals in online garden centres) with strong roots, pot them on into bigger pots and come mid/late spring you will have strong big plants ready to go in the ground.
3. Grow Your Own From Seed 🌱
This is where the big plant saving is! If you have some space inside on a warm windowsill or a small greenhouse now is a great time to sow seeds ready for planting out next year. While there is still some warmth in the air, for just a few pounds you can start sowing next year's blooms now saving you hundreds if not thousands of pounds. The best thing to do is plan out your garden planting plan now (or get us to do this for you), then head online and buy all the seeds for the plants you're intending to grow. Not all of them will flower in the first year but if you have a warm windowsill inside and get going with this straightaway you will have strong plants ready to go in the ground come the spring
4. Ideal Planting Conditions for Better Growth, If You're Quick ☀️
When it comes to gardening, timing is everything. In the UK, autumn offers the ideal conditions for planting. The soil retains warmth from the summer months, creating the perfect environment for roots to establish before the cold winter sets in. Unlike the dry and often scorching summer months, autumn brings regular rainfall, which helps keep the soil moist and your newly planted shrubs hydrated.
Plants, trees, and shrubs planted in autumn have a better chance of thriving because they spend their energy focusing on root growth rather than flowers or leaves. This means that come spring, you’re likely to see healthier, more established plants with bigger blooms.
Not only does autumn planting give you a head start on spring, but it also allows you to focus on other parts of your garden that may need attention, such as hard landscaping, during the colder months. By the time the weather warms up again, you'll have a garden that's already well on its way to looking spectacular.
