Autumn on Chicago’s North Shore has a character all its own. Maples glow, ornamental grasses catch the light, and cooler days signal the change of season. Chalet’s professional fall decorating services bring that same seasonal beauty to your home. Our designers create thoughtfully designed displays for entries, steps, walkways, window boxes, gates, garden beds, and other outdoor areas.


Fall entry décor remains one of our most popular choices because your entry creates one of the first impressions guests have of your home. Seasonal décor offers a warm welcome, enhances curb appeal, and celebrates autumn—without adding another project to your schedule.


Our designers layer heirloom pumpkins, textured gourds, cornstalks, flowering kale, mums, and other seasonal elements to complement your home and surrounding landscape. We also offer accents that transition your display from early fall through Halloween and Thanksgiving. 

Design Considerations & Seasonal Accents

Our designers consider scale, color, texture, and placement while keeping entrances, stairs, and walkways comfortable and accessible. We combine horticultural knowledge, thoughtful design, quality seasonal materials, and professional installation to create fall décor that complements your home and landscape.

We customize each installation with Chicago’s sometimes unpredictable fall weather in mind. Seasonal accents frequently include:

  • Seasonal container plantings featuring mums, ornamental kale, pansies, grasses, and trailing foliage

  • Heirloom and traditional pumpkins, gourds, hay bales, and bundled cornstalks

  • Wreaths, garlands, lanterns, branches, and other fall décor

  • Halloween décor such as ghosts, spiders, webs, and seasonal lighting

  • Halloween and Thanksgiving transitions based on your goals and preferences

Our Halloween decorating services are limited each season, so we recommend reserving your installation early.

From Fall Through Halloween & Thanksgiving

A well-planned fall display creates a foundation that can evolve as the season progresses. We start with fall plantings, pumpkins, gourds, branches, and other natural elements, then add Halloween décor as October approaches.

After Halloween, our team can remove Halloween-specific accents while keeping the best elements of your fall display in place. Thanksgiving accents can extend the display further into November. This layered approach allows you to enjoy seasonal décor for a longer period while giving each holiday its own character. 

Designed for Your Home & Landscape

No two properties require the same approach. Our designers look at your home’s architecture, existing landscape, entry size, containers, colors, materials, and surrounding outdoor spaces before developing the design.


Scale matters. A large entry with broad steps may call for generous groupings of pumpkins, containers, cornstalks, and seasonal accents, while a smaller space may benefit from a more edited arrangement. We use the existing character of your property to guide the design rather than applying the same formula to every home. The result is fall décor that feels like a natural extension of your home and landscape.

How Chalet’s Fall Decorating Service Works

Your customized Chalet design process should feel as effortless as the finished entry looks:

  1. Design Consultation: We discuss your property, preferences, and the areas you want to decorate.

  2. Material selection: Our designers select seasonal plants, pumpkins, natural materials, and decorative accents to create a coordinated look.

  3. Proposal: We provide an all-in project proposal for installation and, if desired, removal.

  4. Delivery & Installation: Chalet delivers and professionally arranges everything at your home.

  5. Seasonal Transition: Our team adds or removes Halloween and Thanksgiving elements as desired while maintaining the overall fall display.

  6. Removal & Cleanup: We coordinate end-of-season removal based on your service plan.

From sourcing and transporting materials to arranging, transitioning, and removing them, Chalet handles the details so you can simply enjoy the season.

Reserve Your Fall Decorating Installation 

Fall and Halloween installation dates and seasonal materials are limited, so planning early gives you the greatest selection and scheduling flexibility. Contact Chalet Landscape to create a custom fall display for your North Shore home that transitions beautifully through Halloween, Thanksgiving, or both. 

When should I reserve fall decorating services?

We recommend planning early. Fall installation dates and seasonal materials become more limited as the season approaches, and Chalet offers a limited number of Halloween decorating installations each year.

Can Chalet transition my fall display for Halloween and Thanksgiving?

Yes. Our designers can plan your initial fall installation with seasonal transitions in mind, adding or removing Halloween and Thanksgiving elements as desired.

Does Chalet remove the decorations at the end of the season?

Yes. We can include end-of-season removal and cleanup as part of your service plan, allowing our team to handle the process from installation through removal.
