You’ve probably heard that spring and summer are the “busy seasons” in construction — and it’s true. But savvy homeowners and property developers know the real trick: get your groundwork done in fall and winter.

At Pennington Construction & Land Solutions, we’re here year-round to help you get ahead of the curve.

❄️ Why Off-Season Construction Makes Sense:

Shorter Wait Times-
Spring and summer get booked fast. In fall and winter, you’ll have better availability, more flexible scheduling, and less time sitting on a waitlist.
Ground Conditions are Ideal-
Arkansas fall weather means firm ground, less rain, and cooler temps — perfect for site prep, clearing, and drainage work. Winter frost can even help with stump removal and debris clearing.
Budget-Friendly-
Some material and labor costs may be more competitive in the off-season, giving you more bang for your buck.

🛠️ What Should You Book Now?:

If you’ve been waiting to:

Clear land or remove overgrowth
Level your site for a future build
Install drainage to prevent winter flooding
Build driveways, culverts, or home pads
Tackle erosion control or grading
Bush hog for deer stands or pasture prep

…now’s the time to get on our books.

📅 Plan Now, Build Later

By knocking out land prep, foundation work, and trenching this fall or winter, you’re setting yourself up for a faster, smoother build come spring. You’ll be months ahead of the crowd.
