As the days grow shorter and cooler, Autumn is the perfect time to tackle those outdoor projects you've been putting off. Taking care of your yard and outdoor spaces now will save you time and hassle when winter arrives—and can even extend your enjoyment of the outdoors into the cooler months. Here are five outdoor projects you should complete before winter and the materials you'll need to make them happen.
Kindred Firebowls
Project 1: Build a Cozy Fire Pit or Outdoor Gathering Space
Why Now?
There’s nothing better than gathering with family and friends around a warm fire on a crisp Autumn evening. Building a fire pit now lets you enjoy it throughout the fall and early winter months.
Decorative Stone – Keeps the area around your fire pit neat and low-maintenance
Project 2: Refresh Mulch and Protect Your Landscaping
Why Now?
Adding a fresh layer of mulch in the fall helps insulate plant roots, retain soil moisture, and reduce weeds come spring. It also gives your landscaping a crisp, finished look.
Autumn and early winter often bring heavy rains. Poor drainage can lead to water pooling and potential foundation damage. Addressing drainage now saves you from costly headaches later.
Project 5: Add Decorative Touches for Seasonal Curb Appeal
Why Now?
Small decorative updates can make a big impact, especially with the holidays around the corner. Whether you want to refresh your landscape or create stunning curb appeal, Autumn is the time to do it.
Autumn is the perfect season for outdoor improvements, and The Stone Store has everything you need—from fire pit kits and pavers to mulch and decorative stone. Whether you’re a DIYer or a contractor, we’re ready to help you find the right materials for your project.
