With fall here, temperatures are slowly starting to drop, and in Pennsylvania, the leaves will begin changing soon. It’s time to embrace fall elements into your landscape design in Lancaster! Fall is a beautiful season to enjoy time outdoors without the heat or pesky bugs and before the temperatures drop below freezing. It’s a great time to get outside and prepare your landscape for the following year.
This year, we at Root’s Nurseries have taken the time to consolidate a list of tips for your fall landscape design and maintenance!
Pumpkins
With local farms selling small pumpkins for a dollar or less, now is the perfect time to stock up. Go pick your own with family or just swing by your local farmer’s market to grab some already harvested. Pumpkins and gourds of all colors make for beautiful fall accents around your home and landscape.
Fire Pits
Now that the raging heat of summer has almost passed, it’s the perfect time to add that fire pit that you’ve always wanted! Once you’ve confirmed that you are able to add one without violating any local ordinances, that is. Enjoy fires with loved ones while embracing the end of warmer weather before the icy, snowy wonderland that winter will bring before we know it.
Embrace Foliage
If your yard has deciduous trees, prepare to be wowed by the beautiful changes in color as the leaves fall. In fact, you could base your whole fall landscape design around this color scheme! Add a new red bench or orange chairs to accent the beauty naturally provided by leaves.
Include Mums
Mums are beautiful, hardy flowers that can really pop in the fall. Their ability to survive slightly cooler temperatures makes them a great addition to your landscape if you want flowers as long as possible throughout the year.
Hire a Professional Landscape Design Company
Another great choice for your fall landscape design is to simply hire a landscape design company, like Root’s Nurseries.
