Christmas & Holiday Light Installation

Rooflines, palms and the trees out front, lit properly and taken down in January. We're landscapers, so we light the whole property the way we'd plant it — designed for the house, not just strung along the gutter.

How the season runs

Book early, lit by the holidays

Holiday lighting is the one job on our calendar with a hard deadline, so it runs on a fixed rhythm. The earlier you're on the list, the more say you have in your install date.

  1. October – November

    Walkthrough & design

    We come out, look at the house and the yard, and plan what gets lit. You get a written price before anything is booked.

  2. November

    Installation

    Installs are scheduled in the order they're booked, with the aim of having homes lit before Thanksgiving.

  3. Through the holidays

    Lit every night

    Up from late November through New Year's, so the house looks finished from the street every evening of the season.

  4. January

    Taken down

    We come back after the holidays and take everything down, so you're not on a ladder in January.

    Want us to keep them? We'll store your lights until next season.

Lighting a St. Pete property

Why a landscaper does this better

Most holiday lighting crews see a roofline. We see the whole lot — the palms, the specimen trees, the beds along the walk — because we're the ones who plant them. Lighting here also comes with a few problems you don't get up north.

Palms are the signature

A lit palm trunk is the most St. Pete thing a house can do in December. Wrapped evenly, with the spacing kept tight all the way up, it reads from the street as a column of light rather than a tangle.

The whole lot, designed

Roofline, palms, trees and beds planned together, so the house looks finished from the street instead of outlined. We'll tell you where light earns its place and where it's just extra cord.

Salt air and wind off the bay

Close to the water, salt gets into connections and the breeze off the bay works on anything loosely attached. Lighting here has to be outdoor-rated, protected at every connection and fixed for wind — not just strung up for a still night.

Damp nights and tripped outlets

Heavy dew is normal here, and outdoor outlets protected against moisture trip when water gets into a connection. Keeping plugs and splices off the ground and out of the wet is most of the difference between lights that stay on and lights that quit at midnight.

Holiday lighting questions

Before you book

The practical ones, answered plainly. Anything else, put it in the box on the form or just call.

When should I book?

Now, if you can. Installs are scheduled in the order they're booked, and November fills up quickly. Booking in October gives you the widest choice of install dates.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the house — how much roofline, how many palms and trees, how high we're working. We come out, walk it with you, and send a written price before anything is booked. The walkthrough is free.

Can you light palms and trees, not just the roof?

Yes — that's the part we're best placed to do. Palm trunks, specimen trees and planting beds can all be part of the design, and we'll suggest what will look best from the street.

When do the lights come down?

In January. We come back after the holidays and take everything down.

Where do you install?

Northeast St. Petersburg — Snell Isle, Old Northeast, Crescent Lake, Crescent Heights, Euclid–St. Paul and Magnolia Heights. If you're just outside that, ask anyway.

Do you supply the lights, or can you use mine?

Either. We can supply the lights for your design, or put up lights you already own. We'll check yours at the walkthrough to make sure they're outdoor-rated and in working order.

Can you store the lights after takedown?

Yes. After we take them down in January, we can store your lights until next season, so you don't need the garage space.

Are you insured for roof and ladder work?

Yes. Ask for a certificate of insurance and we'll send it along with your written price.

Do you need to add outlets or wiring?

No. Our installs run from your existing outdoor outlets. If a design would need a new circuit, that's a job for a licensed electrician, and we'll tell you so at the walkthrough rather than work around it.
