>> YOUR BACKYARD may still
be blanketed by snow, but it is never too
early to start making plans to transform
that space into a summer oasis.
Brandon Dueck, a project manager for
Windeck Ltd., says planning a major
project can take a couple of months,
and while many homeowners book their
projects in the fall, most start the process
when warm weather returns.
"The majority of people book in spring.
It's funny, even in April, if it's cloudy it's
quiet. But when it's sunny our phone is
ringing off the hook."
Planning for any hardscaping and/or
landscaping project starts with about
20 questions for the homeowner,
whether the plans are for large yards
or small spaces.
"The first thing I need to know is their
budget because it can hit six figures, no
sweat, and people want the most bang
for their buck," says Dueck, adding that
there may be more economical options,
especially for smaller yards.
