Textured Plants
Going into this Fall season, experts are encouraging homeowners to step away from traditional mums and instead are recommending plants that add rich color and texture to landscapes.
Some examples of textured plants:
- Cabbage
- Ornamental Kale
- Peppers
- Snapdragons
- Pansies
- Grasses
Jewel Tone Accents
When people think about the Fall season, most think of the classic colors of red, yellow and orange, however, landscapes are starting to trend to more sophisticated jewel tones this season.
Jewel tones such as:
- Sapphire Blue
- Emerald Green
- Amethyst Blue
- Ruby Red
- Citrine Yellow
These particular colors can be added to a landscape by using unique pottery, decorative patio furniture, interesting sculptures and of course, seasonal plantings (ornamental peppers, dianthus, celosia and pansies).
Cozy Outdoor Space
Fall season is the perfect time of the year to utilize an outdoor living space. Fire features are a great way to heat up a chilly fall night and they also create a nice ambiance. Pergolas are beginning to rise in popularity and are usually complimented with comfortable seating areas and seasonal plantings.
Healthy Lawns
A homeowner’s well maintained lawn supports the prosperity of a neighborhood. With families spending more time outdoors during the fall season to enjoy the weather and connect with one another, a lush lawn is essential. It is important to work with a professional to help maintain a healthy lawn in the Fall which will prove many benefits come Spring season, as well.
