Frequently Asked Questions

🌟 What is Chicago Pumpkins?

Chicago Pumpkins is the North Shore’s original porch pumpkin designer. We hand select farm fresh pumpkins and gourds, then deliver and style them into stunning fall displays right at your doorstep. From September through November, we bring the colors of the season to your home or business without you lifting a finger.

🚚 Where do you deliver?

We proudly serve Chicago’s North Shore neighborhoods, Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Winnetka, Wilmette, Highland Park, Glencoe, Evanston, and surrounding areas. If you’re just outside our coverage, send us a note.

📅 When will my pumpkins arrive?

Deliveries begin late September and continue through early October. We closely monitor the harvest and the weather to make sure your pumpkins are fresh and ready for display. You’ll receive an update with your exact delivery window as the season begins.

🧹 Do you offer cleanup?

Yes. We’ll return after Halloween or after Thanksgiving of your choice to clear and remove your pumpkins. That way, you enjoy the display while it’s in season, and we handle the messy part once fall winds down.

🏠 Do I need to be home?

Nope! Depending on your package; we will either deliver near your door or set/design everything up for you. All we need is access to your porch or entryway if there is a gate. We’ll even send a photo once your display is complete.

🐿️ Will my pumpkins be treated to prevent pests?

We deliver pumpkins in their cleaned state, free from the farm dirt. This first cleaning tremendously cuts down on the pests. They are not chemically treated, we’ll share a few simple tips to our customers to help keep your display looking beautiful as long as possible.

🏢 Do you decorate businesses too?

Absolutely. From storefronts and restaurants to office buildings and event spaces, we create professional fall displays that impress. Reach out for a custom proposal tailored to your business.

🎃 Can I customize my package?

Yes! While most families choose one of our curated packages, we’re happy to personalize a display. Whether you want an oversized statement design, a gated entrance styled, or a color themed setup (hello, Bears orange & navy!) we’ll bring your vision to life.

🔄 Do you refresh or replace pumpkins mid-season?

Standard packages are one-time installations, but if you need an updated display for a special event or seasonal transition, let us know we can create an additional delivery for you.
