Ghosts, witches and skeletons… oh my! Get your yard ready for the spookiest night of the year with these fun outdoor ideas. In The GardenDon’t have a garden? It’s not as hard as you think. Get yourself some dirt and mulch to get you started. For optimal results, we recommend the Garden Mix. If you need to fight some weeds while gardening, pick up some landscaping fabric. Pumpkin PatchHow To Do It: Place pumpkins in your garden to make it look like you have your own patch. Doing it this way avoids you actually having to plant and nurture your own pumpkins. You can get pumpkins from any local grocery store during the Halloween season. Check your local apple orchard as they often grow pumpkins as well.
Ghoulish GraveyardHow To Do It: Add gravestones, cobwebs, and skeletons to your garden to spook trick-or-treaters and house guests.
Glowing PaversPaint stepping stones with glow-in-the-dark paint for an eerie curb appeal. If you want to take a more long-lasting approach, you can make your own stepping stones with glow-in-the-dark powder. The phosphorescent chemical recharges in the sunlight and can glow for anywhere from 30 minutes to 10 hours. What You Need:
How To Do It: Add glow-in-the-dark powder to the concrete mix and make your stepping stones as normal. The recommended amount to use is about 15 percent powder to the concrete.
Zombie Hands Coming From The EarthHow To Do It: Place plastic hands and other body parts in pots of dirt to make it look like they are growing. Standard black pulverized dirt will provide the most visually appealing yet affordable dirt for those zombie’s hands. A fun branch off of this idea is to serve cupcakes with the same theme.
On The PorchPainted PumpkinsHow To Do It: If you’re short on time and don’t want to deal with the mess of carving a pumpkin, paint one instead. If you plan on handing out non-food items to trick-or-treaters, you can paint a pumpkin teal and place it on your step to signify to kids with food allergies or other conditions that they can come to your door.

How To Do It: Stack hay bales and crates to create a display for your porch or along the outside of your house. Fill your creation with pumpkins, plants and any other decor you can find.
