Halloween Ideas for your Landscaping

Halloween night brings plenty of foot traffic to your house, making it one of the best holidays for decorating. It’s also the heart of fall season, which is why so many Rochester homeowners are thrilled to give their yard a festive facelift as soon as October comes. If you’re looking for some Halloween ideas for your landscaping, here are a few tried and true favorites.

Countryside Porch
The porch is the best place for mums, pumpkins, mums, and other fall goodies. If you’re not the one who likes goblins and ghosts, an old-school country porch is an excellent way to ring in the fall season. Your decorations will be right until Thanksgiving. Keep your pumpkins upright on your porch using mulch. You can find mulch at any stump grinding business.

Spooky
The best Halloween decorations don’t have to be the scariest. Keep your props lighthearted and cute, instead of putting the highlight on fall annuals and a bright green lawn, with your house as the centerpiece.

Halloween Scene
If you’re going to go all out for Halloween, have a good time. Don’t stop at just decorations. Picture your yard as a blank canvas to produce an entire Halloween landscape. The more you can pull everything together, the more exciting your final presentation.

Pathway to Patio
If you have a patio or backyard, you can imitate a haunted house with a dimly lit path with scary surprises.

Safe by the Fire
There’s no better time than now to have a fire pit built so you can enjoy it through the cold months. Contact a local stump removal company if you want help getting wood for your fire. Most significantly, have fun and don’t forget to get lots of candy and goodies for the trick-or-treaters.

There are lots of fun ways to assimilate some spooky ideas into your landscape. From witches to ghosts to skeletons, there are plenty of ways to have some fun with your outdoor space while delivering some frightening fun. Regardless of how old you are, Halloween decorations can help you make the most of your landscape.

If you want to get trick-or-treaters to come by, you want your outdoor space to catch everyone’s attention. People love a good scare this time of year.
