We bring the pumpkins and style your porch.

Delivery is the easy half. The design is the part that matters, so we build the display on your steps, to your house, and clean up after ourselves.

A Colorado home with a porch pumpkin display running the full length of the front walk, the Flatirons on the horizon.

Three steps, and you lift nothing

Going to the patch with your kids is one of the best things about October in Colorado, and we are not trying to replace it. We are for the porch you keep meaning to do and never get around to.

  1. Pick a package

    Three sizes, priced by how many pumpkins go on your porch. Counts are published as ranges, so you know what you are paying for before you book.

  2. We deliver and style it

    We arrive on your delivery day with everything, then design and build the display around your actual house: the steps, the walkway, the planters. About ninety minutes, and you do not need to be home.

  3. You come home to a finished porch

    We text you a photo the moment it is done. From that morning it is yours, and it is built to stay that way: seated and staked for Colorado wind, and still standing at the end of October.

Priced by the pumpkin

Every package includes the pumpkins, delivery, design and setup. There is no separate design fee at checkout. Counts are given as ranges because the Colorado harvest varies week to week. Prices shown are for Boulder County; see delivery zones below.

Two golden straw bales stacked on a Colorado porch step with orange and cream pumpkins resting on them.

Hay bale

A full size straw bale. The cheapest way to add height and give the display something to climb. Two bales change a flat porch completely, and most people take two.

About us

Pumpkin Fairy Colorado is based in Boulder County and serves the northern Front Range. Everything we install is sourced from Colorado growers.

The best part of this job is the text message that just says “WHAT.”

The idea came from doing it badly once, on our own porch. Three trips to the patch, and a display that still looked thin at the end of it. Volume is the whole trick, and volume is exactly the thing you cannot be bothered to do twice.

So we buy in bulk, we deliver across Boulder County and the Denver metro, and we build the display on your steps rather than leaving a pile by the door.

If Colorado happens to your porch

Front Range weather is hard on an outdoor display. Re-staking and re-staging are services we offer, so if something happens to your porch, message us and we will come and sort it out.

Re-stake after a windstorm

Front Range downslope winds will rearrange a display across three gardens overnight. We build low and heavy for it. If it still goes, message us. Putting a wind-hit display back together is a service we offer.

Re-stage after snow

October snow here is unremarkable and pumpkins are fine underneath it. If a heavy fall flattens or buries the display and you want it rebuilt, re-staging is a service we offer.

Colorado grown pumpkins

Everything comes off Front Range farms rather than a distribution centre in another state. It is why the heirlooms look the way they do and why we can restock mid season.

The questions everyone asks

Do you take the pumpkins away at the end?

No. The pumpkins are yours to keep and we do not come back to collect them. When you are done with them, Boulder County curbside compost accepts whole pumpkins and most Front Range municipalities run a pumpkin drop off in early November. Check your own hauler's rules before the bin goes out.

Why is the count a range?

Because the Colorado harvest varies week to week and we buy your pumpkins fresh rather than holding stock. You will always get at least the bottom of the range, and often a few more. If a specific variety is not available that week we substitute the closest visual match at equal or greater value.

How long will the pumpkins actually last?

Through Halloween in a normal year. We are at 5,300 feet with intense UV and big day to night temperature swings, which ages pumpkins faster than in most of the country. That is why we build the season around 31 October.

What happens if it snows?

Usually nothing. Pumpkins are fine under snow and honestly look wonderful in it. If a heavy fall flattens or buries the display and you would like it rebuilt, re-staging is a service we offer. Message us and we will quote the visit.

Do I need to be home?

No. We just need to know where you would like the display and whether there is a gate code. You will get a photo the moment we are finished.

When does the season run?

Mid August to 31 October. Booking opens in August and the good weekends go first.

My HOA has rules about seasonal decoration.

A lot of the newer subdivisions in Superior, Louisville, Erie and Broomfield do. Send us the rule and we will design to it. We would much rather do that than have you take it down in week two.

Tell us about your porch

Send this and we will come back to you with what we would build, what it costs and which weeks are still open. Nothing is charged at this point.

We reply the same day in season. No deposit taken here.

Booking opens in August

The good weekends go first. Leave your email and you will hear before anyone else. One message, no newsletter.
