Stick with Outdoor Experts! We’ve got the best tips to add a touch of spookiness to your outdoor living space this Halloween.  

Tips to Decorate Your Yard this Halloween 

Halloween is right around the corner, use these tips to add a touch of festive charm when the trick-or-treaters come knocking! 

Experiment with Pumpkin Vases 

We all love jack-o-lanterns, but there are more uses for pumpkins than just carving funny faces! 

This October, try turning a hollowed-out pumpkin into a flower vase.  

We love this tip because not only does it allow you to use a biodegradable (and festive) vase, but you can put Fall specific flowers in your pumpkin vase for an extra touch of spooky charm. 

Place your pumpkin vases on side tables, outdoor dining areas, porch steps, entryways, and more this Halloween! 

Understated Accessories Work into Your Established Style 

You want a yard that has a touch of Halloween charm, but who has time to completely revamp their yard? 

For a satisfying touch-up to your yard, incorporate Autumn accessories into your already established style. 

For example, if you have hanging fairy lights, why not wrap them around braided corn husks? Or, for extra seating, add a bale of hay into the mix.  

The options are endless and the creativity is up to you! Just remember, small touches can go a long way! 

Create Autumnal Arrangements 

In life, the best things come in pairs. That’s why this Fall to take your look further you should consider pairing different design elements for maximum impact.  

Don’t leave your jack-o-lanterns alone to cause fright by themselves! Pair them with dried corn husks and flint corn for an extra pop of Autumnal goodness! 

Got gourds? Add some dried Fall vegetables and create a cornucopia! 

Varied arrangements go well on every surface in your yard.  

Consider placing your dazzling décor atop retaining walls, on outdoor tables, around trees, and even as centerpieces for your table. 

Look for Luminescence 

The last tip on our list will take you a long way. Invest in some stylish lights this Autumn to show off your new décor.  

Add something simple like fairy lights, or go for a brighter pop with globe lights. You can even add a touch of color to cast an eerie hue over your decorations.  

Remember, you want your appealing décor to be visible at night to maximize its effect.
