Autumn Landscaping Ideas to Transform Your Garden
Last month, we discussed essential garden supplies for autumn, but this time we’re taking a
deeper dive into transforming your outdoor space during this season. Autumn is one of the
best times to refresh your garden. As the leaves change and temperatures cool, it’s the
perfect season for landscaping projects that will help your outdoor space look its best
year-round. From planting hardy perennials to laying the groundwork for next spring, autumn
offers the chance to create a lasting impact. Whether you’re enhancing your garden’s
hardscape or adding new features, Hickman Brothers Landscapes has the tools and
products you need to get started.
Here are some practical ideas for autumn landscaping, along with a few key products
available from our online store to make your projects easier.
Pathways and Patios: Time for Hard Landscaping
With less planting happening in autumn, it’s the ideal season to focus on hard landscaping.
Building new pathways, patios, and garden walls now means they’ll be ready to enjoy when
spring returns. The cooler weather makes physical outdoor work more comfortable, and by
tackling these projects in autumn, you’re avoiding the rush of the spring gardening season.
To achieve a classic, durable look for your paths or patios, check out Limestone Abbey
Paving. Its versatility and timeless appearance make it perfect for creating beautiful garden
walkways.
Prepare Your Lawn: Turf or Artificial Grass
Autumn is the best time to sow new lawns or lay turf, as the cool temperatures and
occasional rainfall provide the ideal conditions for grass to establish strong roots before
winter. If your lawn has bare patches or needs an overhaul, this is your moment.
For a quick and easy solution, consider laying Rolawn Medallion Turf, which is known for its
high quality and durability. Or, if you’re after a low-maintenance alternative, Avon Artificial
Grass is a fantastic option from our online store. With artificial grass, you’ll enjoy a green
lawn all year round without the hassle of mowing, watering, or dealing with muddy patches.
Adding Garden Features: Pergolas, Trellises, and Fencing
Autumn is the perfect time to add garden features such as pergolas, arches, and trellises.
These structures provide year-round architectural interest and can also act as supports for
climbing plants like clematis or honeysuckle, which will thrive come spring.
If you’re looking to upgrade your fencing, Elegance Trellis is an excellent choice for a sturdy
and stylish boundary. Installing new fences in autumn means you’re ready to plant climbers
or hedges in spring, which will grow alongside the structure, adding privacy and greenery.
Autumn Planting and Mulching
Garden Maintenance: Ready for Winter
Autumn is also the season for essential garden maintenance. Raking up fallen leaves,
pruning trees and shrubs, and clearing out dead plants are all key tasks to keep your garden
healthy. Use this time to tidy up your beds and borders, ensuring they’re clean and ready to
go when planting season comes around.
To make your maintenance tasks easier, check out our Winter Essentials, which includes all
the essentials like salt, shovels, and de-icer.
