Fall Porch Styling in Hickory, NC

If you live in Hickory and want a front porch that stops people in their tracks this fall, Gorgeous Gourds is the only call you need to make. We're a locally owned business that delivers, arranges, and removes premium pumpkin and gourd displays on porches across Hickory — from Viewmont to Lake Hickory, from Long View to downtown.

Why Hickory Homeowners Choose Gorgeous Gourds

Hickory's neighborhoods have real character — colonial brick fronts on 8th Street, craftsman porches off Tate Boulevard, wide wraparound entries in the St. Stephens area. We style each porch to fit the home, not a template. That means the right mix of pumpkin sizes, varieties, and colors for your specific porch width, step count, and style.

We source directly from local North Carolina farms — fresh pumpkins, not warehouse stock — so your display looks full and vibrant from installation day through Thanksgiving.

Packages Available in Hickory

We offer four package sizes built for different porch widths and budgets. All include delivery and installation. The Royal Gourd ($525) is our most popular choice among Hickory homeowners — rich, full, and balanced for a standard covered porch.

Add-ons include the Ivory Crown upgrade (all-white pumpkins, +20%), design setup, post-Thanksgiving removal, hay bales, corn stalks, and mums. See full package details →
