As the air crisps and leaves blaze in shades of amber and russet, your yard yearns for a transformation. Bid farewell to summer’s sun-drenched slumber and awaken your space to the magic of fall. Embrace the season’s bounty with a palette of pumpkins, gourds, and vibrant foliage, painting a canvas of cozy charm that whispers of crisp mornings and warm evenings.
Here are a few Fall landscaping ideas that you can try with your yard.
1) Add Fall colors to your shrubs & vines – Adding Fall colors into your landscape will allow for a more Autumn feel. Fall colors are gorgeous and when incorporated right with your lawn, they look even more gorgeous. A few colors on shrubs, vines, and bushes include: red chokeberry, Virginia creeper, sumac, viking black chokeberry, fothergilla, and tor spirea.
2) Tall grasses – Tall grasses withstand the cold winter weather, so you won’t have to maintain much once Winter rolls around. They’re actually basically maintenance free all year ’round. They come in a variety of colors, plumage, and heights… so there is tons of different grass to choose from.
3) 
Pumpkins/Hay – Turning your lawn into an Autumn festival won’t be too hard if you add a few props. By placing two bales of hay at the end of your driveway (on both sides), that will add just a small touch of Fall flare. You could place pumpkins or assorted fall colored flowers into the hay stacks to add a more personal touch. Place pumpkins randomly throughout your yard or around your porch to show that you’re ready for the festive season ahead!

4) Add Fall colored trees – You can easily spruce up your lawn for Fall with a few of the following fall colored trees: birch, sugar maple, hickory, ash, or redbud. These are the easiest Fall colored trees to maintain, and they really set the mood for Autumn. You can even hang small wooden carriers from the branches of these trees and allow them to hold a few of your favorite Fall plants! Add small gourds for an even more festive Fall design. These trees will change color with the seasons, so be prepared for a lawn show!

5) Replanting Summer plants – Buy new and interesting pots in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors to place your summer plants before you take them inside to get them out of the cold. You can even get white pots and paint them with an Autumn theme yourself. You can create a container garden to showcase your work and your gorgeous Summer flowers and plants.
