Beat the Rush: Plan Your Concrete and Fence Projects Before Fall

Published July 15th, 2025 by Scott’s Landscape

In Rochester, NY, summer flies by and before you know it, fall is knocking at the door. Once the cooler weather arrives, outdoor construction and landscaping projects become more difficult to schedule — and sometimes impossible to complete before winter sets in. That’s why now is the time to act. Whether you're thinking about upgrading your property with a new fence, installing a concrete patio, or adding a walkway, planning ahead gives you the best opportunity to get your project done right and on time.

At Scott's Landscape and Fencing, we’re here to help homeowners and businesses avoid the seasonal scramble. Here’s why you should start your fence and concrete projects now — before fall gets here.


1. Avoid the Late-Season Rush

Summer and Fall Book Up Quickly

As soon as late summer hits, demand skyrockets. Homeowners who postponed their projects suddenly realize they need to wrap up before winter, and schedules fill fast. Contractors across Rochester are at their busiest during this time.

By planning and booking your project now, you’ll secure your place in our schedule before the rush — and avoid delays that could push your installation into next year.

2. Enjoy Your Outdoor Space Longer

Get Full Use of Your Fence or Patio This Season

Starting your project now means you won’t miss out on enjoying your new fence or patio during the warm weather. Imagine hosting late-summer BBQs or relaxing on crisp fall evenings in your new outdoor space.

If you wait until late fall or next spring, you’ll miss valuable months of enjoying your investment.

3. Avoid Weather-Related Challenges

Late Fall and Winter Weather Can Delay Projects

Rochester weather is unpredictable. Once fall arrives, rain and cold temperatures make fence and concrete installation more difficult. Cold soil, frost, and snow can delay projects or reduce installation quality.

By acting now, you’ll ensure your fence posts are set and your concrete is poured in ideal summer conditions, leading to a longer-lasting and better-looking result.

Don’t let weather get in the way — book your project while summer conditions are still here!


4. Improve Property Safety and Functionality Before Winter

Fences Provide Security Year-Round

A new fence isn’t just for looks — it also improves security, keeps pets and children safe, and helps define your property. Installing your fence before fall ensures you’re ready for winter storms and have boundaries in place when snow piles up.

Concrete Surfaces Make Winter Maintenance Easier

Concrete driveways, patios, and walkways are easy to maintain during winter. Compared to gravel or dirt paths, concrete surfaces are simple to shovel and de-ice, helping keep your property safe and accessible when snow and ice arrive.

Get your property winter-ready — schedule your project today to avoid the fall rush!


5. Boost Home Value Heading Into Selling Season

Increase Curb Appeal Before Fall Buyers Arrive

Late summer and fall are popular times for real estate transactions. A new fence or freshly poured concrete patio can make your home more appealing to prospective buyers and help you command a higher price.

Even if you’re not selling this year, improving your property now increases its long-term value and ensures you’re always prepared if you decide to list in the future.
