The Manscapers’ Tips for Fall Gathering:

COZY UP: To add comfort and coziness to your outdoor space, drape a blanket over the back of each guests' chairs. You can mix and match textiles to add character.

FORAGE AWAY: While decorating your table, don't be afraid to use alternative materials such as fruit, dry/preserved floral, or foraged materials from your own yard. Pinecones make great additions for those on the East Coast, while pampas grass elevates those in the West.

HEIGHT MATTERS: When placing items, keep in mind the height and size in relation to your guests' eye levels. If you're seeking height or more drama, place those items on nearby side tables or consoles. 

The Manscapers’ Tips for Fall Landscaping:

THINK (EVER) GREEN: Particularly for those on the East Coast, it is a great time to plant tree shrubs, trees, and evergreen plants that will stay green throughout the winter. 

HARDSCAPING: Now’s the time to focus on hardscaping, a.k.a building or fixing a patio/deck. This way, once spring comes - the focus can be on planting!

CLUSTER CONTAINERS: For those equipped, bring your outdoor plants inside for a winter vacation. For those not conducive to indoor life, cluster them together and move them closer to your home - which will radiate some heat. Adding a thick layer of mulch will help to keep the soil warm as well.

SHHH… PS: Nurseries often have their biggest sales this time of the year, so it’s the perfect time to make sure you’re not neglecting your outdoor oasis!
