Festive Fall Landscaping Ideas
Manifesting Fall
September has arrived, but the triple digits still stubbornly hold their ground. While it seems counterproductive to conjure up thoughts of fire pits, fall decor, Friday Night Football, and fried food at the State Fair of Texas, we’re crossing our fingers for cooler temperatures and patio cocktails by the end of the month. With that in mind, consider this your friendly reminder to begin fantasizing about fall landscaping ideas.
Here at Bonick, one of our favorite service calls is seasonal fall landscaping color installation, and now is the ideal time to begin the transformation. From adding gorgeous pumpkins and gourds to enhancing estate gardens with sultry shades of aubergine, crimson, and amber, the dazzling fall colors delight Dallasites of all ages. Cristen your containers and garden beds in festive fall fashion and accent your ambiance to feel the majesty of fall.
Pumpkins & Gourds
Goodbye, Dog Days of Summer, and hello, Halloween! Invigorate your imagination and your estate with a palette of panache. Lovely and limitless pumpkin and gourd arrangements are not only one of the most popular fall landscaping ideas, but they can catapult your home’s creative side with fall color through October and into Thanksgiving.
Coleus
Famous for its colorful foliage, coleus is a lovely, low-maintenance plant that adds a flourish of fall color to containers and garden beds. Its garish, multicolored leaves vary from green, yellow, pink, red, purple, and maroon, making it popular in vivid Victorian gardens. Hailing from the mint family, this showstopper occasionally blooms at the ends of its long stalks.
Crotons
Infuse your containers with colorful crotons to add a bountiful dimension to your exterior decor. Important note: These plants perform well in pots, but their leaves, and especially the seeds can be harmful to curious pets or children, so be wary of where you plant them.
Purple Celosias
On the opposite color spectrum of traditional fall landscaping ideas are passionate Purple Celosias. These striking, cone-shaped blooms convey quite the curb appeal and contrast gallantly against bright greenery. Add these rich-hued beauties to your garden for a stunning fall spectacle.
Fountain Grass
Fountain grass is another fabulous way to liven up your landscape with fall color. Its wispy leaves wave in the wind and dress up your walkways or garden borders with whimsy.
Schedule Your Fall Landscaping Color Installation
Imagine beholding the breathtaking sunset glistening upon your garish landscape as you sip a pumpkin spice latte. Or, winding down with a glass of pinot in the spa, surrounded by festive foliage and a fantastic fire.
