Why July is the Smartest Time to Build Before Fall Hits

Wood Fence

Every homeowner dreams of a beautiful outdoor space, perfect for crisp fall evenings and cozy gatherings. But if you wait too long, you’ll miss out! By August, contractor schedules are packed, weather turns, and material lead times extend. That’s why July is your critical window to act.

At Tennessee Deck and Fence, we know starting now pays off—literally and logistically. Here’s why:

1. Beat the Fall Rush & Secure Your Spot: Mid-to-late summer sees a huge spike in demand for outdoor construction. July is your last chance to secure a prime spot on our schedule. Starting early means more personalized attention, better communication, and faster turnaround, without rushing your design or being limited by stock. It also provides a crucial buffer against potential labor shortages or supply chain delays.

2. Enjoy Your Space When the Weather is Perfect: Tennessee’s fall is magical – the heat fades, bugs disappear, and your backyard becomes an oasis. If your deck or fence is still under construction in September, you’ll miss those golden weekends. Begin in July with Tennessee Deck and Fence, and your new space will be ready by September or early October, just in time for fall entertaining and relaxation.

3. Predictable July Weather for Smoother Construction: Consistent warmth, long daylight hours, and fewer rainouts in July compared to late summer and fall mean ideal conditions for construction. Dry, stable ground is crucial for foundations, fence posts, and wood sealing. This leads to a more efficient, safe, and durable build, reducing the risk of weather delays, moisture issues, or rushed finishes.

4. Time for Custom Features, Not Compromises: Starting early allows you to build exactly what you want. July offers the breathing room to collaborate with our team at Tennessee Deck and Fence, explore creative solutions, and integrate custom features like built-in benches, lighting, multi-tiered layouts, or privacy panels. Don’t rush your dream; build it right.
