🍁 Transitioning Outdoor Spaces from Summer to Fall in Style
As summer fades and cooler temperatures arrive, your outdoor spaces can still shine with warmth, color, and style.
With just a few updates, you can easily transition your patio, garden, or yard from summer to fall while keeping it inviting and functional.
At LawnMart, we’ve gathered simple, stylish ideas to help your landscape reflect the beauty of the season.
🌿 1.
Refresh Your Color Palette
Trade in the bright summer hues for rich, earthy tones.
Think burnt orange, deep red, mustard yellow, and forest green—colors that naturally complement the changing leaves.
You can bring these tones into your space through:
Outdoor cushions and throws
Planters or pots in warm tones
Decorative lanterns or string lights for cozy evening glow
This quick swap instantly gives your yard or patio a seasonal refresh without a full redesign.
🌾 2.
Add Fall-Friendly Plants and Flowers
Swap out summer annuals for cool-season plants that thrive in autumn weather.
Some great options include:
Mums (Chrysanthemums): A fall favorite for bold, lasting color.
Pansies and violas: Cold-tolerant and cheerful through the first frosts.
Ornamental kale and cabbage: Add texture and interest to garden beds.
Asters: Long-blooming flowers that attract late-season pollinators.
These plants not only bring color to your fall garden but also support healthy biodiversity and pollinators well into the season.
🔥 3.
Warm Up Your Space with Fire and Light
As the days get shorter, lighting becomes key to maintaining an inviting atmosphere.
Try these simple upgrades:
Add a fire pit or outdoor heater for warmth and ambience.
Hang string lights along fences or pergolas for a soft, golden glow.
Use solar lanterns to highlight pathways and garden features.
Fire elements create a natural gathering spot for cool fall evenings—perfect for entertaining or simply unwinding outdoors.
🍂 4.
Layer in Seasonal Decor
Bring in autumn-inspired textures and accents that make your space feel cozy and complete:
Natural materials like wicker, rattan, and wood
Pumpkins, gourds, and dried corn stalks for a festive touch
Wool blankets or faux fur throws for extra comfort
Don’t forget to decorate your porch or entryway—a simple wreath or fall arrangement can make a welcoming statement.
🌱 5.
Prep Your Lawn and Garden for Fall
Transitioning your outdoor space isn’t just about décor—it’s also about care.
Fall is the perfect time to:
Aerate and fertilize your lawn for strong root growth
Mulch garden beds with shredded leaves
Plant bulbs like daffodils and tulips for spring blooms
Clean and store summer tools properly
Healthy soil and well-prepared plants will set the stage for lush growth next year.
