Considering how to update your yard for autumn? Spooky front yard decorations are the perfect way to give your lawn a festive feel this fall.
From pumpkins and gourds to seasonal flowers, keep reading for our top five autumn yard ideas that are sure to spice up your yard.
Pumpkins and Gourds
Pumpkins and gourds are for sale everywhere this time of year, and they are an excellent choice for those looking for eco-friendly yard decor. Pick up a few varying shapes, colors, and sizes to add a festive touch of texture to your yard or porch, then add them to your compost pile when you’re finished with them.
Switch Out Your Lights
Consider switching out the lightbulbs on your sconces or string lights with spooky colors like orange, purple, or green. This is an easy way to decorate for Halloween that won’t require any rigorous clean-up afterward.
Consider a New Doormat
Festive Halloween doormats are on sale this time of year. Switching out your typical doormat with one that has pumpkins, ghosts, witches, or other Halloween or fall-theming could be a fun and spooky change.
Plant Seasonal Flowers
Seasonal fall flowers are a great way to add color and beauty to your yard. Some of our favorite autumn blooms include:
- Sunflowers
- Dahlias
- Pansies
- Chrysanthemums
- Heleniums
- Marigolds
If you choose perennial flower types, you can have fall blooms in your garden every autumn for years to come.
Add Dimension to Your Decor
Hay, baskets, and cornstalks are great ways to add color and dimension to your yard. Cornstalks can add height to your front yard decorations, and hay bales can act as shelves for gourds, pumpkins, or faux floral arrangements. Consider putting seasonal fruits and vegetables into woven baskets and placing them around your yard.
