How To Prepare Your Garden For Outdoor Halloween Decor

With autumn and Halloween season on the way, we are often tempted to put off tidying the garden in favour of leaving things wild and rustic. However, if you are planning on decorating your garden for Halloween this year then it is important to get a head start on the tidy-up now. This will help to ensure that your Halloween celebrations are easy to arrange and that your garden looks extra special and totally spooky. Tree surgeons in Sudbury and surrounding areas can offer expert advice, but here are some handy tips to get your started in the meantime.

Prune Your Trees And Remove Any Dead Wood

As the trees begin to lose their leaves, you’ll want to start thinking about how you can tidy them and remove any dead wood. Pruning your trees and getting rid of any unwanted branches or foliage can be a good first step. If you aren’t sure where to start, you could hire a gardener to complete a few basic jobs. This could be an inexpensive yearly task that will ensure that you don’t do any major damage to your trees or bushes.

Next, think about hiring a tree services company to remove any unsightly or dangerous tree stumps from your garden. Not only do tree stumps look unappealing, but they are also an extremely dangerous trip hazard. This is especially important if you are having guests at your Halloween party who don’t know the current layout of your garden or what areas to avoid. Stump grinding is a simple and efficient process used by professionals to remove tree stumps by grinding them down to woodchip pieces. You can then choose to use the woodchip in your garden or have it recycled elsewhere.

Clean The Exterior Of Your House

If you plan on attaching Halloween decor to the exterior of your house or windows, then it is important to thoroughly clean the area first. This will help to ensure that your Halloween decor doesn’t get damaged, and also that they can be attached safely and securely. Items such as spooky inflatables and window stickers will all help to make your garden look ghoulishly gothic.

Pressure washing your patio and cleaning out the guttering will also help to ensure that your house and garden look their best and are well maintained for the colder weather. Now is also a good time to look at the pointing on the exterior walls of your property. Loose pointing can let cold air and damp into the home and will also cause issues if you are looking to attach Halloween decor to the brickwork of your home.

Grow Your Own Pumpkins

Last but not least, now is the perfect time to start your own pumpkin patch and grow pumpkins at home. Simply create a large, raised bed and plant some seeds. To make life easier you can also pick up seedlings from garden centres that have been partially grown. Be sure to leave plenty of space as pumpkins like to spread out. Their leaves will trail around the beds, creating a spooky maze. Once fully grown the pumpkins can be left on display or picked as part of your Halloween Garden celebrations!
