Six displays, from a front stoop to the whole front of the house. One price each, covering the pumpkins, the design, delivery and putting it all in place. Nothing is added at checkout.

Porch Perfect
The one most porches are actually aiming at. Generous on the steps without taking over.

Squash and Awe
Our signature, and the one everything else gets measured against. Unmistakable from the street.

Porch of the Town
The one the street notices. Fifty-one pumpkins, ten of them the sort people stop and ask about.

The Whole Patch
Sixty-seven pumpkins, for a front of house that reads as one composition rather than one doorway.

Stem to Stern
The whole front of the house. A hundred and twenty-five pumpkins to start, and quoted from there.
$1,299design, delivery & install included
Own a shop or a restaurant? Book any display above at its listed price, the same as anybody else. For a front that needs more than the largest of them, that is Pumpkin Means Business: we come look at the building, count what it takes and quote it. Ask for a quote →
What we do
Hand-picked, then arranged on site
Much of the work happens before we reach your porch. Selecting your pumpkins one at a time, for your house.
- 01
Tell us about your porch
Steps, rails, house color, how it's seen from the street. Two minutes on the booking form, with the price on screen the whole way.
- 02
We hand-pick your pumpkins
Chosen one at a time the week of your install. Stems, skins, color against your house. Never pulled from a crate.
- 03
We design it on your porch
About an hour, and you don't need to be home. The arrangement is composed to your entry rather than dropped on it, and that part is in the price.
- 04
We stay close by
Everything we serve is minutes from home, so if something needs a look during the season, we are not far away.
The pumpkins
Heirloom varieties, not a crate of orange
Heirlooms run through every display: the old, open-pollinated varieties grown for character: porcelain whites, forest greens and slate blues, deeply ribbed cheese pumpkins, blush French fairytales. They hold up longer outdoors than carving pumpkins, and they are why a display reads as chosen rather than bought.

Where we install
Manahawkin and the towns around it
Manahawkin is home and our main market. Everywhere else we serve is minutes from the van, which is how we get to a porch on the right week with the pumpkins still fresh from the farm.

HeirloomsA porch palette beyond orange
Heirloom pumpkins put a real palette in your hands, white, sage, slate, buff, bronze. Here's how to compose with it instead of just collecting it.
