Fall is filled with rich, warm colors, beautiful autumn flowers, and unique decorative touches only found during this season. If you are looking for a few new ideas for your landscaping, there are many ways to incorporate your favorite fall looks. Here are five fun landscape design tips to try.

Autumn Landscape Design Ideas

1. Fall Flowers

Just because the leaves are coming down and summer blooms are fading doesn’t mean your landscaping should lack color. Plant mums in orange, yellow, and red along with other autumnal favorites like purple asters and burgundy pansies. To keep some green in your garden, plant some evergreen trees that will keep their needles year-round.

2. Porch Décor

Tie all the colors of the season together with your porch décor. Add a fall wreath of autumn flowers from your garden, and incorporate your choice of potted or hanging plants and planter boxes. Place pumpkins and gourds on steps near the entrance. Not only do these elements signal autumn, but they are also great decorations for Halloween and Thanksgiving.

3. Sizes & Heights

Create a more eye-catching landscape design by choosing trees, shrubs, and flowers of different heights and sizes. Tall evergreens around the perimeter of your landscaping will provide privacy even in the dead of winter. A variety of greenery in different shapes and sizes add depth to your lawn and engage the eye, so you’ll never grow tired of the view.

4. Rock Garden

Rock gardens add a dynamic, earthy component to any garden, no matter the season. They are especially attractive when the flowers and leaves are waning and winter is on the way. Mix and match stones of different sizes, shapes, and colors in any pattern you like.

5. Autumn Seating

The moderate temperatures of fall make spending time outside a treat. Surround your outdoor furniture with attractive bushes and flowers to create a seasonal haven. Decorate tables with a basket of autumn fruits and vegetables like apples, small pumpkins and gourds, pears, and grapes.
