Now that fall is officially here, now is a great time to refresh your landscape with plants that thrive in the autumn months. The right selection can transform your plain, dull landscape into a vibrant tapestry of color and texture that can stand out in the fall.

Let’s explore some great options to create fall-friendly landscaping that enhances your outdoor living space this season.

1. Synthetic Lawn

• Why They’re Great: Artificial grass is a fantastic way to add texture and movement to your fall garden. Various varieties can offer a low-maintenance, long-term savings alternative to a natural lawn that is evergreen all year-round.
• How to Use Them: Synthetic turf can be installed virtually anywhere as it doesn’t depend on sunlight or soil quality like natural sod does. This flexibility allows homeowners to transform their otherwise unusable spaces into attractive landscapes.
• Care Tips: While artificial turf is generally low maintenance, homeowners must still brush and clean the lawn (especially if they own pets) to prevent odors and the wearing down of the lawn.

2. Sedum (Stonecrop)

• Why It’s Great: Also known as Stonecrop, Sedum is a drought-tolerant succulent plant that comes in varieties like ‘Autumn Joy,’ which produces clusters of pink to rust-red blooms that last well throughout the Fall season.
• How to Use It: Sedum can be used as a border for a paver patio, integrated into rock gardens, or even in planter containers. Its unique texture and color make it a standout addition to any landscape.
• Care Tips: Though Sedum requires little water, it still prefers full sun and well-drained soil.

3. Chrysanthemums (Mums)

• Why They’re Great: Chrysanthemums (or mums) come in a variety of colors including yellow, orange, red, and purple, making them perfect for adding a dynamic fall aesthetic to any landscape.
• How to Use Them: Mums are ideally used to border a paved patio or walkway, but can be used in planter beds and embedded in the landscape. They can be used to fill gaps in a garden and create stunning, vibrant visual displays when planted in groups.
• Care Tips: Mums need to be in well-drained soil and have plenty of sunlight to thrive throughout the season.

4. Evergreen Shrubs

• Why They’re Great: Evergreen shrubs provide year-round color and lush vibrancy to a fully done landscape. Varieties like Boxwood, Holly, and Juniper in particular have rich green hues that nicely complement the warm tones normally associated with autumn.
• How to Use Them: Evergreen shrubs can be used as foundation plantings, hedges, or accents in mixed borders to anchor an eco-friendly landscape to provide a backdrop for more seasonal plants.
• Care Tips: Evergreen shrubs generally thrive in full/partial sunlight and with well-drained soil. Pruning in late winter or early spring is recommended to maintain their shape.
