Backyard Projects to Start This September
September is one of the best months to kick off a backyard transformation. The weather is comfortable, the soil is workable, and fall planting gives new landscapes a head start before winter. Whether you’re looking to create a space for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying Colorado’s outdoors, now is the perfect time to get started.
Outdoor Living Spaces That Shine in Every Season
Imagine stepping outside to a backyard built for connection and comfort. Fall is an ideal time to begin projects like:
- Patios & Outdoor Kitchens – Create the ultimate gathering spot with custom stonework, grills, and seating areas.
- Fire Pits & Fireplaces – Extend your outdoor season with warmth and ambiance for chilly evenings.
- Pergolas & Shade Structures – Add architectural style and year-round comfort.
- Retaining Walls & Terraced Gardens – Turn sloped spaces into functional, beautiful areas.
Planting & Landscaping That Lasts
September’s mild weather makes it easier for new plant material to establish strong roots before winter. That means trees, shrubs, and perennials planted now will thrive in spring. It’s also a great time to:
- Install custom garden beds for seasonal color.
- Add low-maintenance native plants to reduce water use.
- Prepare lawns and soil for healthier growth next year.
Bring Your Backyard Vision to Life
From cozy fire features to full outdoor kitchens, fall is the season to invest in your backyard vision that’s both functional and beautiful. Renovating your entire landscape with a Modern-Zen or Xeric Low-maintenance style or simply enhancing existing planting beds that seem to be missing something, Fall is a perfect time for Design. By beginning the design process in September, you’ll be able to work out the perfect-fit custom landscape design that will be ready for construction beating the Spring rush. Imagine you and your family enjoying a beautiful outdoor space before the warm weather sets in while everyone else is just getting the process started.
