Fall Decorations for Your Yard

Even though many annuals are dropping their last blooms and the trees are losing their leaves, you can still make the most of your yard decor as the fall season approaches. With a bit of creativity and resourcefulness, you can work with the season rather than against it and create an autumn yard that will be the envy of all your neighbors. Check out these ideas for inspiration.

Embrace the Fall Theme

Fall is a time of harvest; incorporate that into your yard! It’s also almost Halloween, and if you celebrate the holiday, it makes a great framework for your decor as well. Decorative items specifically made for the fall, such as scarecrows, hay bales, and gourds, are one great way to bring in some autumn cheer. If you plan on handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, make your yard spooky by hanging ghosts around fences or setting out jack-o-lanterns on decks. No matter what theme of fall fits your fancy, you can incorporate it into your yard in a fun way. At the same time, you should probably retire non-fall items for the season. This isn’t the time of year for pink flamingoes or pool signs! Take out your summer decor, and spend the cool season prepping it to make its next debut in the spring.

Keep Things Tidy

Those yellow and orange leaves are beautiful now, but after they fall, they’re going to turn brown and shrivel up. Large clumps of dead leaves make your home look dirty and untended, so be sure to remove them regularly. You should also clean out any flower pots that have dead plants in them, and cut back trees and shrubs. Just doing this kind of routine maintenance makes a big difference in the appearance of your yard through the season– it may be almost Halloween, but you don’t want your house to look haunted!

Explore Your Options

It’s true that you can’t plant many types of flowers during this time of year, but there are still some options out there for you if you’re the green-thumb type. Mums are a very popular autumn plant that will work well with a larger fall theme, and they come in several different colors so you’re sure to find something you like. As mentioned above, you can also go very far on decorative items that aren’t plants; pumpkins are a popular choice. (And not just jack-o-lanterns– it’s becoming increasingly popular to paint or stencil pumpkins for a more grown-up decor.)

Find what fits best with your home’s decor and your own wishes. Make the most of the season and your yard with fun fall decorations all around.
