When Should You Start Planning Spring Landscaping in Connecticut?

If you’re in Connecticut, especially along the shoreline in places like Branford, Guilford or East Haven spring landscaping starts earlier than most people think. While winter is still hanging around, February is actually the smartest time to start planning.

Here’s why getting ahead now can save you stress, money, and missed opportunities later.

Why February Isn’t Too Early

Landscaping schedules fill up fast in CT. By late winter:

• Spring cleanups are already being booked

• Mulch and stone projects are getting locked in

• Early planners get first choice of dates

Waiting until March or April often means limited availability and rushed timelines.

Services That Book First

The most in-demand spring services include:

• Spring cleanups to clear beds and prep lawns

• Mulching to retain moisture and prevent weeds

• Stone work for walkways, edging, and drainage

• Planting before the summer heat hits

These projects are best planned before spring is in full swing.

CT Weather Reality

Shoreline towns like Branford deal with unpredictable spring weather. Planning early gives crews flexibility to work around rain, cold snaps, and short dry windows without delays.
