Getting a porch full of pumpkins in Colorado does not require a truck, a free Saturday, or hauling anything up your steps yourself. Pumpkin Fairy Colorado buys the pumpkins, drives them to your address, and builds the display in place. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you book to the last frost of October.
Here's the short version:
- Booking takes a few minutes online: pick a package, a delivery week, and an address.
- Delivery is included inside Boulder County; other Front Range towns add a flat fee.
- We deliver and style the pumpkins ourselves, not drop a pile by the door.
- There is no pickup service and no refunds, since we buy every pumpkin to order.
- Wind restaking and snow restaging are available later in the season for a call-out fee.
How Pumpkin Delivery in Colorado Starts With Booking
Booking pumpkin delivery in Colorado with us takes about five minutes online: you choose a package, pick a delivery week, and give us the address. We have three sizes. The Little package runs $350 for 18 to 20 pumpkins. The Full package is $695 for 30 to 35 pumpkins plus two hay bales. The Fairy Tale package is $1,200 for 50 to 60 pumpkins plus two hay bales. Counts are always a range, never a fixed number, because what the growers bring in shifts week to week. If you are not sure which size fits your steps, our guide on how many pumpkins a front porch actually needs walks through it by porch width.
You can add extras at booking: another hay bale for $25, mums for $25, a Grand Prize Pumpkin for $175, or a neutral palette (whites, tans, and muted greens instead of classic orange) for $75.
Delivery cost depends on where you live. Inside Boulder County it is built into the package price. Outside it, we add a flat fee based on drive distance.
| Area | Delivery fee |
|---|---|
| Boulder, Louisville, Lafayette, Superior, Niwot, Gunbarrel, Hygiene, Lyons | Included |
| Longmont, Erie, Broomfield, Dacono, Frederick | +$45 |
| Denver metro: Arvada, Westminster, Golden, Wheat Ridge, Thornton, Littleton | +$100 |
| Foothills: Nederland, Jamestown | +$150 |
What Happens During Your Delivery Week
We deliver in a scheduled window during the week you book, not a fixed hour, because Front Range weather in September and October does not cooperate with tight timelines. A hailstorm or a downslope wind event can push a route by a day. You do not need to be home for the delivery itself, though we will confirm placement preferences ahead of time if your porch has stairs, planters, or a spot you want to keep clear.
The season runs mid August through October 31, so early bookers get first pick of dates before the calendar fills up around the first week of October, which is when most Boulder County and Denver metro porches get done.
What We Bring and Build on Your Porch
We do not drop a pile of pumpkins and drive off. Every package includes on-site styling: we group pumpkins by size and color, tuck hay bales in as a base or backdrop, and set mums or a Grand Prize Pumpkin as a focal point if you have added them. The goal is a display that looks intentional, the kind you would see photographed for a magazine porch, not a stack waiting to be arranged.
Because we work in Colorado, we build with the wind in mind. Downslope gusts along the foothills and through towns like Golden and Boulder can hit 60 miles an hour with no warning, so pumpkins get placed low and stable rather than stacked tall. If a bad wind event knocks the display around later, that is a separate call-out, not something baked into the original visit.
What Happens After Your Pumpkin Delivery
We do not come back to collect anything at the end of the season. There is no removal service built into any package, so plan on composting, trashing, or repurposing the pumpkins yourself once October ends. We also do not offer refunds, returns, or cancellations, because every pumpkin is bought to order from Colorado growers for your specific delivery date, not pulled from stock sitting in a warehouse.
What we do offer is upkeep during the season. If wind scatters the display or an early snow buries it, we can come re-stake or re-stage for a call-out fee equal to 50% of your original package price. Curious how long the pumpkins themselves will hold up outside in Colorado's sun and frost swings? Our post on how long pumpkins last outside covers what to expect by mid October.
If a trip to a pumpkin patch is already on your family's calendar this fall, we think that is a great plan and worth keeping. But if the season gets away from you and the patch trip does not happen, we will still make sure your porch looks the part.
FAQs
Do I need to be home for pumpkin delivery?
No. We schedule a delivery window during your chosen week and build the display without needing you on site, though we are happy to confirm placement details ahead of time if you have specific preferences for your steps or entryway.
Does pumpkin delivery in Colorado cost extra outside Boulder County?
Yes. Delivery is included in Boulder County towns like Louisville, Lafayette, and Niwot. Longmont, Erie, Broomfield, Dacono, and Frederick add $45, Denver metro towns add $100, and the foothills towns of Nederland and Jamestown add $150.
Will you pick the pumpkins back up after Halloween?
No, we do not offer pickup or removal. Every package is delivery and styling only, so plan on disposing of the pumpkins yourself once the season ends.
What if wind or snow wrecks the display before Halloween?
We offer a re-staking or re-staging visit for wind or snow damage during the season, priced at 50% of your original package cost. Contact us through the site and we will get a call-out scheduled.
Can I cancel or get a refund if my plans change?
No. Because every pumpkin is purchased to order for your delivery date, we do not offer refunds, returns, or cancellations once a booking is confirmed.
