You don’t need warm weather to love your landscaping. In this post we discuss three easy ways to add color and curb appeal to your home during this transitional season. From displaying autumn hearty plants that still add color to utilizing container gardens and investing in hardscaping, these ideas will make you love your home even more.

1) Showcase Hardy Autumnal Plants

Just because the warmer temperatures are starting to wind down, you can still enjoy pops of color and beauty around your home, you just have to smartly choose your plantings.

There are numerous varieties of flowers and plants that thrive in cooler temperatures and can transform outdoor spaces into cozy havens. Fiery red Japanese Maples, golden chrysanthemums, and ornamental grasses that sway gracefully in the cool autumn breeze are just a few that do well in the Dallas area. Utilizing plants like these add height, color, and depth to your fall garden-scape.

2) Utilize Container Pots Throughout Your Landscaping

Container gardens are a perfect solution for the colder months. Adding these to your outdoor spaces and entrances allows you to have the plants you love even if they may not be able to withstand the coldest temps of winter. How?

Containers are easy to cover and protect, or in extreme cases, move to a sheltered area if it is too cold to keep them in the direct conditions. This safeguarding not only preserves your investment but also allows you to enjoy their beauty from the fall into early winter. Container pots themselves also add color and groupings of varying heights adds visual interest throughout your garden.

3) Invest in Hardscaping For Ultimate Hardiness

Fall is the perfect time to invest in hardscaping and stonework that you have been wanting to add to your outdoor spaces. Elements such as stone or gravel pathways, bed boarders and xeriscaping help frame and define areas of your garden while providing pleasing, hardy access to your yard.

Installing hardscape in the fall provides the opportunity to add practicality and prepare your home for winter by improving drainage and preventing erosion for the harsh conditions to come and provides a foundation for incorporating plants and flowers in the spring and summer.
