How to Capture Autumn’s Essence and Beauty in Your Landscaping

Crisp air, falling leaves, stunning colors, and pumpkin spice everything makes fall cozy and charming. To savor that enchanting autumn feeling in your outdoor space, turn to your landscape design. Here are some creative ways to capture the magic and brilliance of fall in your landscaping. 

Use Colorful Plants

Nothing symbolizes autumn more than the vibrant hues of red, orange, and gold. Recreate the beauty by adding generous splashes of nature’s captivating colors using a blend of seasonal plants. 

Create a stunning outdoor design that displays fall’s signature color palette:

• Plant pansies, snapdragons, and mums in flower beds or decorative planters
• Include camellias for a powerful punch of color thanks to their large blooms
• Lay colored mulch to add shades of reds or browns

Add Seasonal Decor

Pumpkins, gourds, and hay bales add a fun, seasonal vibe to your outdoor area. Here are some ways to arrange fall decor to make an impact:

• Create a seating area with rustic benches or hay bales
• Use decorative planters 
• Arrange multiple pumpkins together to create a mini pumpkin-patch
• Include a chalkboard sign and write a fun fall message, like “Happy Fall, Y’all” 
• Plant flowers in hollowed-out pumpkins 
• Add bird baths and feeders to attract seasonal birds

Embrace Layering 

Design an impressive outdoor space by including plants of varying heights, colors, and textures — like trees, vines, ground covers, blooming hedges, and ornamental grasses. To create dimension and showcase a layered flow, arrange the plants from tallest to shortest. Add earthy elements that harmonize with fall’s warm hues, like stone and weathered or rustic wood.  

Add Lighting 

Illuminate your favorite landscaping features at night with strategically placed lighting:

• Sprinkle fairy lights in trees and hedges
• Line pathways with string lights or lanterns 
• Add uplighting to trees and bushes
• Include an outdoor fire pit to stay warm on chilly evenings
