Below, we offer landscape installation suggestions for how to make your yard look extra spooky and fun this Halloween:
Front Porch/Steps
The front porch or steps of your house is the best place to attract attention. Here, you can add jack-o’-lanterns and scary animatronics, all of which are easily obtainable from any nearby party supply store. To enhance the atmosphere, cover any bushes or trees around your house with fake spider webs. If you’re not into the “scary” part of Halloween, then you might consider simply adding a few uncarved pumpkins, bales of hay, and some potted mums on your front porch, setting an autumnal harvest theme to your home that will last the rest of the season. If you don’t have a front porch or your current one seems worn and needs updating, get in touch with our landscaping team to help you choose a design that’s right for you.
Haunted House Landscape
If you’re feeling extra festive this year, you may consider building your own haunted house. Halloween gives you the opportunity to picture your land as a blank canvas for different, scary surprises. You’ll need lighting on the lawn to add atmosphere, as well as color, props, and possibly actors. If you want to go all out, you should add a fog machine, eerie music, and strobe lighting. Additionally, to ensure that other navigate your haunted house safely, you should add outdoor lighting installations to help trick-or-treaters walk to your front door safely in the dark.
Walkway
The walkway up to your house is the perfect spot to add Halloween or Fall decorations. Along the path, you can add miniature pumpkins along the sides, handmade luminaries, and planted mums. Our landscapers can help you determine which fall annuals will make your home more appealing. There are other lighting ideas for Halloween that you can use, such as placing orange string lights onto a gate or using votives for illumination. At Northern Virginia Landscaping, we can provide unique and captivating walkways along with lighting installations that suit your needs.
Front Yard
A creatively-designed front yard will help your home appear more approachable to guests and your neighbors. The front yard is also a good site for adding outdoor inflatables or fake gravestones. If you’re looking to get to know your neighbors better and host a get-together, then you might consider installing a professionally designed outdoor fire pit area.
