Fall Pumpkin Displays in Houston, TX

We deliver the pumpkins and style the whole display on your porch, starting at $220. Every package is arranged by the same crew that designs Houston landscapes, using pumpkins picked to hold up in our heat. Locally owned, licensed and insured, and working in these yards for over 20 years.

A fall porch display is harder here than it looks. Houston still runs near 90 degrees through September, and a pumpkin set straight onto hot concrete in full sun can soften in a couple of weeks. We choose the varieties, set them where they will last, and build the arrangement so it reads from the street, not just from your front door.

Pumpkin Display Packages and Pricing

Four ways to buy, all at fixed prices with delivery included. Pick the size that fits your entry: a single front door needs far less than a wide porch with steps and columns. If you are not sure, send us a photo and we will tell you which one we would use.

Our Process

How Your Pumpkin Display Comes Together

  • 01 Pick Your Package and Date

    Booking opens in late September. Choose a package, pay online, and pick your delivery date. Most people want the porch done before the first weekend of October, so those dates go first. If you are torn between two sizes, call us and describe your entry.

  • 02 We Source the Pumpkins

    We buy for shape, color, and a firm, undamaged stem, because the stem is where rot usually starts. Colors run from classic orange to cream, green, and the mottled heirloom types. Nothing bruised goes on a porch, and we bring extras so the arrangement is built from choices, not leftovers.

  • 03 Delivery and Styling Day

    We arrange everything on site, working in odd numbers and staggered heights so the display reads from the street. Steps, columns, planters, and the mailbox all get worked in. It usually takes under an hour, and you do not need to be home for it.

  • 04 Removal When the Season Ends

    Add pumpkin removal for $75 and we come back after Halloween, clear the display, and leave the porch clean. Softening pumpkins get heavy and messy, and they stain concrete and stone if they are left too long. If you are also booking holiday lights, we can line the two visits up.

Why Have a Landscaper Do Your Fall Porch

Anyone can put pumpkins on a step. Making an entry look designed is the same skill as laying out a bed: scale, repetition, and knowing what our climate will do to the material. We have styled Houston entries for over 20 years, and the display is built to survive the month you paid for.

  • Chosen for Houston Heat

    Early fall here is still summer. Thick-skinned varieties with sound stems last far longer than the soft ones, and where a pumpkin sits matters as much as which one it is. We keep them off hot bare concrete and out of hard afternoon sun wherever the porch allows it.

  • Designed to Read From the Street

    A display that looks full from the doormat often disappears from the sidewalk. We build in odd numbers, vary the heights, and anchor the ends so the arrangement holds together from the curb. It is the same eye we use on flower beds and entry plantings.

  • Fixed Price, Delivery Included

    You see the price before you buy, and it covers the pumpkins, the delivery, and the styling. No quote to wait for, no hourly rate, and no trip charge. Removal is the one optional extra we recommend, because nobody enjoys carrying a soft pumpkin to the bin in November.

Local Know-How

How to Make a Fall Display Last in Houston

Fall arrives on the calendar long before it arrives in Harris County. Average highs sit near 90 degrees in September and stay in the low 80s through much of October, and heat plus our humidity is exactly what shortens a pumpkin's life. Uncut pumpkins hold up reasonably well in cooler, drier places, but here a soft pumpkin in three weeks is a normal outcome, not bad luck.

Three things buy you time. Keep pumpkins off hot bare concrete, since a dark porch slab holds heat well into the evening and cooks the underside. Keep them out of direct afternoon sun where the porch allows it, which is why a covered entry always outlasts an open step. And leave them whole: carving a pumpkin in this climate starts the clock in days, so save the jack-o'-lanterns for the last week of October.

We build displays with that in mind across Bellaire, West University Place, River Oaks, The Heights, Memorial, and the rest of our service area, using firm-stemmed varieties and setting them on risers, steps, and planters rather than flat on the slab. If one goes soft early in the season, tell us. We would rather swap it than have a customer's entry looking tired in the middle of October.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much does a fall pumpkin display cost in Houston?

    Our packages are $220 for DIY pumpkin delivery you arrange yourself, $265 for the Bronze display, $355 for Silver, and $520 for Gold. Every price includes the pumpkins, delivery, and the styling. Optional extras are an extra large pumpkin at $50, succulent accents at $276, and end-of-season pumpkin removal at $75. You pay online when you book, so there is no quote to wait for and no hourly rate to worry about.

  • How long do pumpkins last on a Houston porch?

    Plan on a few weeks to a month for uncut pumpkins here, and less in an early October heat wave. Houston highs average near 90 degrees in September and stay in the low 80s for much of October, and heat with humidity is what softens a pumpkin from the bottom up. Shade, airflow, and keeping them off hot bare concrete all help. Carved pumpkins are a different story: in this climate they can go in a matter of days, so leave the carving until the final week.

  • When should I book my fall display?

    Booking opens in late September and the first week of October is the busiest stretch of the season, because most people want their porch done before the first weekend of the month. Book as soon as the season opens if you want a specific date. If you are reading this in the spring or summer, call us anyway and we will note your address and reach out when dates go live.

  • Do you take the display away afterwards?

    Yes, if you add pumpkin removal for $75 when you book. We come back after Halloween, clear the whole display, and leave the porch clean. It is worth having: pumpkins get heavy and messy as they soften, and one left on a stone or concrete step can stain it. If you do not add removal, the display is yours to deal with, and the pumpkins are compostable green waste.

  • Which package fits my porch?

    Bronze suits a single front door, a small stoop, or a pair of planters. Silver is our most popular and fits the standard Houston front porch with steps. Gold is for wide entries, double doors, and long stair runs where a smaller display would look thin. If you are unsure, text or email us a photo of your entry and we will tell you which one we would use, including when the smaller one is the better buy.

  • Can you decorate for Christmas too?

    We do the lighting side of the holidays. Our Christmas light installation covers design, install, in-season maintenance, and takedown, and many customers line it up so the pumpkins come off and the lights go on in the same stretch of weeks. After the holidays we also run Christmas tree removal, with curbside pickup from $20. The three services together cover your entry from late September through January.
