Fall Landscaping Ideas and Décor

 

Creating the perfect oasis in your home garden or yard is the goal of many homeowners. Something that is currently trending is placing the focus of your landscaping on fall plants, colors and designs. This can truly make your outdoor space a wonder to behold when the weather begins to change and the leaves begin to fall. Consider the following fall landscaping design ideas to get the most out of your yard or garden this autumn.

 

Trees are often the center point in the fall. Their leaves change hue from green to brilliant reds, oranges yellows and browns, so it can look like your entire yard is on fire. There is nothing quite so breathtaking as stepping out into the crisp air and finding a wall of gorgeous, fiery trees. To get this effect, consider including Japanese maples in your design. Plant a wall of them to separate areas of your property, or simply make one a feature of your yard with a wooden bench and flowers to complement the look.

 

Strawflower, beautyberry and lavender berries are all great plants that complement almost any fall landscaping design. They can be used as subtle accent pieces to add a beautiful contrast to the wide array of fall colors. It’s a pleasant sight to see the white-pinkish color of the lavender berries, or the bright purple of a beautyberry bush in the depths of fall when only the fall colors seem to abound.

 

Adding sweetautumn, a happy, vigorous woody vine to the top of a trellis or along a fence can add a much needed hint of green and white when the weather begins to turn The fragrant white blossoms grow with wild abandon in many different climates, so be sure you are placing it in a place where you can enjoy its constantly expanding growth.

 

Fall-blooming crocus are also a great way to add new color to a fall design. Plant these beautiful, sweet flowers in the late summer along a pathway or to line the bed of a garden, and you will be greeted with a pop of color just four to six weeks later.
