Colder weather presents homeowners with the opportunity to get creative with their landscape design. Fall is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year in the Bloomington, IL area, and the changing leaves, sweaters, and pumpkin spice lattes invoke a feeling of coziness, which is something that can be extended to your home or business’s yard and landscape.
The autumn climate lets you do things like integrate texture and color, utilize negative space, and prepare fixtures like outdoor fireplaces and fountains for the winter. At Chizmar Landscaping, our professionals are happy to share some tried and true fall landscape design ideas.
Take Advantage of Lush Colors
One of the most distinctive aspects of the fall season is the patchwork of different colors that dot your yard. Trees and bushes turn beautiful shades of burnt orange, fiery red, and stunning yellow, and having a diverse variety of plants and trees can create an attractive range of shades. Hire a trusted landscaping company to integrate the yellow colors of elm, willow, and birch, the reds of maple, and the orange of oaks.
If you want to get even more creative, you can create multiple layers of contrasting colors. For instance, we’ve found that sedum and prairie smoke provide eye-catching hues at ground level, while understory trees like serviceberry and chokecherry aim higher. In between, various species of shrubs and dogwoods fill in the gaps with lush colors.
Regarding color, another thing to take into consideration is your perennial flowers. Some perennials can take on rainbow hues one year and then turn completely yellow the following year. It all depends upon the amount of rain and the amount of warm days and cool nights that occurred during the summer.
