Celebrate Cooler Weather
As temperatures cool and daylight hours diminish, fall emerges as one of the most delightful seasons to experience the great outdoors in Texas. Despite the shorter days, this time of year is undeniably my favorite.
Enhance Your Outdoors with Creative Lighting
To make the most of your outdoor space after sunset, consider incorporating unique lighting options:
String Lights: Run them along a soffit or handrail to create defined borders that add charm.
Seasonal Lighting: Illuminate a wreath with festive bulbs or hang Edison lights overhead for a warm, inviting ambiance.
LED Fixtures: Perfect for lighting pathways and patios, these fixtures not only ensure safety but also highlight the beauty of your property.
Embrace Classic Fall Colors in Your Garden
As autumn sets in, vibrant flowers can bring life to your outdoor spaces. Here are some seasonal favorites:
Chrysanthemums: These iconic fall blooms thrive beautifully in North Texas.
Pansies: Hardy and resilient, pansies are ideal for surviving the North Texas winters.
Texas Aster: This stunning flower blooms from September through November, adding color to your landscape.
Snapdragons & Marigolds: With their rich autumn hues of orange, yellow, and gold, marigolds are particularly beloved. Look for popular varieties like French (Tagetes patula) and African (Tagetes erecta) marigolds.
Add Warmth with Fire Features
For both warmth and a cozy atmosphere, fire pits and fire-places are timeless favorites. For larger gatherings, consider sleek fire tables, which blend style with functionality. Whether used for heating or simply as a decorative element, fire features enhance the charm and comfort of your outdoor space.
