Halloween pumpkins carved and displayed on your doorstep. I handle the messy carving, arrange them safely, add lights if you want, and clear up completely - leaving you with a ready-made spooky display.
### The Fun Without the Mess
Love the look of **carved pumpkins lighting up your doorstep** but hate the sticky, stringy mess? Let me handle it.
I'll carve your pumpkins, position them safely, pop in battery lights if you want that classic glow, and clear all the mess away. You get the Halloween atmosphere without orange gunk under your fingernails.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Battery-powered LED tea lights are safer than real candles, last all evening, and won't blow out in the Devon wind.

Good to Know
> 🎃 **Got kids who want to help?** I can do the dangerous cutting while they scoop out the insides and choose where pumpkins go. Best of both worlds. **Multiple houses?** If you're doing your house plus elderly parents or similar, I can do them all in one visit - saves you the repeated mess. **Exeter's older doorsteps?** Some Victorian front steps are quite steep and narrow. I'll position pumpkins where they won't roll off or be a trip hazard for trick-or-treaters.
Frequently Asked Questions about Pumpkin display setup in Sidmouth
What does the pumpkin display service include?
I'll carve your pumpkins (or arrange pre-carved ones), position them safely on your doorstep or porch, add battery-powered lights if you want them, and clear up all the mess. You get a great-looking Halloween display without the faff.
Do I need to buy the pumpkins first?
Yes - grab your pumpkins from a local shop or farm and I'll do the rest. If you want battery tea lights or LED candles for inside, I can pick those up or you can have them ready.
Can you do custom designs or just basic faces?
Basic Jack-o'-lantern faces are quickest, but if you've got something specific in mind (names, patterns, etc.), just let me know when booking. Complex designs will take longer.
How long will the display last?
Carved pumpkins usually look good for 5-7 days outdoors in Devon weather. I'll position them somewhere with decent drainage so they're not sitting in puddles, which helps them last a bit longer.
What happens to the pumpkin guts?
All the seeds and stringy bits go in your food waste or compost bin - your choice. I'll leave your porch clean and just the carved pumpkins arranged nicely.
