fall is the coziest time for planting and outdoor living

even though summer still feels like it’s hanging on, fall is right around the corner and our landscape design and construction schedule in naperville, plainfield, batavia, geneva, wheaton, downers grove, lisle, and all throughout the western suburbs of chicago is filling up fast. i always think of fall as one of the most magical times to work in the garden and create outdoor spaces. the cooler air, the golden sunsets, and the brilliant leaves swirling down all around us set the perfect backdrop for planting new trees, shrubs, and perennials. plants love this season because they get a chance to establish their roots in comfortable soil temperatures before winter rolls in, which means they come back even stronger in the spring.

there’s also just something about fall that makes every outdoor moment feel extra special. evenings around a fire pit, blankets wrapped around your shoulders, a mug of hot cider or tea warming your hands—these are the little things that turn a backyard into a sanctuary. i love designing patios, walkways, and cozy gathering areas this time of year because fall naturally invites us to slow down, savor the season, and spend more time outside before the chill of winter keeps us indoors.

for homeowners in naperville, plainfield, batavia, geneva, wheaton, downers grove, lisle, and nearby towns, fall is the perfect season to dream big. whether it’s colorful fall plantings, a brand-new patio for family gatherings, or even adding lighting so you can enjoy your yard long after the sun sets, this is the time to make it happen. fall has a way of reminding us that beauty is fleeting, and that’s why it feels so good to invest in outdoor spaces that bring joy and connection right at home.

so if you’ve been thinking about refreshing your landscape or finally building that outdoor living space you’ve been dreaming about, now is the time to hop on the schedule. the season is short, the calendar fills quickly, and there’s so much magic waiting to happen in your own backyard.
