❄️ Just Because It’s Cold Doesn’t Mean We Stop Working
You might assume landscaping shuts down when the ground freezes — but not at Olson Landscaping LLC.
While we pause mowing and sod installs in deep winter, we still tackle key projects year-round, especially in December through February.
If you’ve got drainage problems, overgrown beds, or prep work for spring, winter might be the smartest time to schedule it.
💪 What We Can Do in Winter
1.
Drainage Projects & French Drains
Soil is visible, leaves are gone, and we can trench without disturbing beds or turf.
French drain installs
Grading and redirection
Downspout extension work
Bonus: We get a clearer view of how water moves when plants are dormant.
2.
Rock Bed Renovations & Brush Clearing
Winter is perfect for:
Rock resets or weeded bed overhauls
Removing overgrowth from fence lines
Ripping out invasive ground cover
Cleaning out “forgotten zones” on your property
With plants dormant, we can see everything.
3.
Landscape Planning & Quotes
Want to install sod, a new layout, or a total cleanup in spring?
✅ We’ll walk the property and lock in your quote early.
✅ You’ll get priority scheduling when the season reopens.
✅ No last-minute scramble.
4.
Hardscape Prep Work
We can prep areas for:
Gravel paths
Raised beds
Light fence or edging installs
Shed/structure base leveling
Most prep work doesn’t require perfect weather — and winter slots are more flexible.
🧠 Why It’s Smart to Book Off-Season
Faster turnaround
Less disruption (we’re not dodging lawn crews or plantings)
Often cheaper labor
Get in before spring price increases or schedule backlogs
