Do I need to be home during planting?

NOPE! No schedule coordinating necessary. Just make sure we have clear instructions for accessing your stoop — there’s an information box at checkout.

Do you sell outdoor planters?

We don’t stock or deliver any planters, but we’re more than happy to help you choose the right containers for your space.

If you’d like some shopping help, here are some curated selections of our favorites…

Affordable Outdoor Planters

Do you decorate businesses or do corporate installs?

YES! We’re always happy to work on outdoor displays at shops and restaurants, storefront windows, or even indoor corporate installs. We also offer a small discount for allowing advertising signage within your planters.

Please fill out the contact form or email goldcoaststoops@gmail.com to get a quote.

Can you explain the photo permission thing?

When you book your installation, you’ll have the option to “opt in” or “opt out” of photo sharing permission. Prefer to keep things private? Absolutely. We’ll never post your stoop without your consent.
 Comfortable being featured? We offer a special savings on select packages as our way of showing our thanks and appreciation. No matter what you choose, your home (and your privacy) will always be treated with care with Gold Coast Stoops.

Any photos will always be posted anonymously with no mention of home owner. If applicable, any address information will be blurred.

Another quick FYI for those that opt out of photo sharing permission — We will likely still take a photo of your home when we’re done for proof of the order being complete, but you’ll never see your home on our website or social media.

I placed my order, now what?

First—thank you! We’re so excited to style your stoop. Once your order is confirmed, you’ll receive an email from us the week before your scheduled install to coordinate the exact day and any special details (like access instructions, timing preferences, hose location)

On install day, you don’t need to be home. We’ll send you a note once everything is complete, along with a link to your after-care guide so your porch stays looking fresh for weeks to come.

Do you service Evanston or any suburbs?

For spring and summer installs, we are able to service Evanston and the northern suburbs for an additional travel fee.

For pumpkin installs in the fall, we’re only able to service Chicago neighborhoods and unfortunately don’t have the bandwidth to service the suburbs.

Do you decorate for other seasons and holidays?

YES! We specialize in Pumpkin Installations in the fall, but also offer spring/fall/winter containers and holiday garlands.

Join our email list to be notified when other holidays and planting packages are available! Please email us if you have something specific in mind. We’re always happy to go the bespoke route.
