Frequently Asked Questions
(And remember… there are no silly questions. Except maybe “Can I eat the porch pumpkins?” The answer is yes… but we’d prefer you admire them first! )
1
How long will my pumpkins and porch decor last?
Pumpkins and fall décor can last up to 8 weeks, depending on the weather and how much sun or rain your porch gets. Cooler temps help them last longer. Bring on fall!
2
Do I need to be home when you decorate?
Nope! You do not need to be home. We’ll set everything up beautifully for you. Many of our clients love the surprise of coming home to a fully decorated porch.
3
How do I take care of my pumpkins?
-
Keep them dry when possible.
-
Avoid moving them around too much (they bruise easily).
-
If it’s very warm, you can dunk them in cool water to help them last.
-
If squirrels or critters are a problem, a light spray of household vinegar can help.
4
What if my pumpkins rot or get damaged?
We use high-quality, fresh pumpkins, but nature can be unpredictable. If one pumpkin goes bad quickly, just remove it and shift the design slightly. Sometimes nature cannot be stopped.
5
Can I customize my porch design?
Yes! We’ll chat about your style and preferences. We can keep it simple and classic or go big with cornstalks, mums, and layered pumpkins.
6
Do you only decorate porches?
No, we also style driveways, entryways, patios (front/back), mailbox areas, community entrances, restaurants, offices and more! You name it and we'll decorate it! Spreading fall magic to everyone.
7
Do you reuse the pumpkins?
All pumpkins are yours to keep! Many clients love to carve them for Halloween or use them for fall cooking and baking once porch season winds down.
If you’d rather not keep them, we also offer an end-of-season pickup for a small fee. We donate the pumpkins to local farms and rescues to feed animals, keeping things sustainable and friendly to the environment.
