Fall Porch Styling
Pumpkin Porch Decorating Ivy, VA
Fall porch displays scaled to Ivy's farmhouses and deep country porches, set up in a single visit.
What's Included
Decorate Your Front Porch With Pumpkins in Ivy, VA
Ivy's homes tend to sit well back from the road on wooded, multi-acre lots, with porches and entryways built to a bigger scale than a typical suburban home. We size every Ivy display — Premium or Grand, usually — to match that scale, so it doesn't get lost against a larger home and a long approach.
We deliver and set up everything ourselves, so your Ivy porch is ready for the season without you hauling pumpkins out of a trunk or figuring out the arrangement yourself.
- Large & medium Jack O Lantern pumpkins
- White ghost pumpkins & specialty varieties
- Pie pumpkins & mini pumpkins
- Hay bales & ornamental gourds
- Full setup included on every package

Local Know-How
Pumpkin Porch Decorating in Ivy, VA: What Local Properties Need
Ivy is a small unincorporated community just west of Charlottesville on U.S. Route 250, home to fewer than 1,000 residents at the 2020 census. It began as Woodville Depot when the railroad arrived in 1851, and today it is known for country properties, historic sites like D. S. Tavern and Woodstock Hall Tavern, and the roadside marker for Meriwether Lewis's birthplace. Ivy Creek runs through the western part of the county, and the properties here tend to be larger and more rolling than in-town lots, with long drives and wooded edges.
Ivy's farmhouses and country homes have the deep porches and wide steps that make a fall display stand out. We scale the arrangement to the porch, layering pumpkins, mums, hay bales and cornstalks so it looks full from the drive and not just up close. Setup takes one visit, and we can remove everything after Thanksgiving.
How Ivy property owners find us
Ivy owners usually reach us through a referral from a nearby Charlottesville client, since we already work the Route 250 corridor every week.
What Ivy owners ask first
Bigger, rolling acreage raises the first question: can one crew handle the whole property, from the house beds to the far tree line, without bringing in a second company?
Why Ivy clients choose Green Thumb
Ivy is minutes from our home base, so the owner can walk the property in person before we quote, and that is the level of attention a country property needs.

Does delivery cost extra?
Yes — each package price covers the pumpkins, decor, and setup; delivery is priced separately based on your location. Your estimator will confirm the delivery cost for your address.
When should I book fall porch decorating?
It's best to book by early September, since fall installation dates fill up quickly and pumpkin availability is strongest earlier in the season.
Which package is right for my porch?
Classic suits most standard porches, Premium fits larger porches or homeowners wanting a fuller display, and Grand is built for large entryways or homeowners who want the most elaborate look. Neutral works with any porch size for a softer, muted palette.
