Maeser homes tend to sit on bigger lots, often with a long driveway, a fence line along the road, and a barn or shop out back. That gives you a lot of room to work with for a Christmas display, and a lot of ground to cover with an extension cord on a cold December afternoon.
Our holiday light installation in Maeser handles it start to finish. We plan the layout with you, supply new lights or hang the strands you already have, clip them neatly to rooflines, gutters, and trim, and wrap trees, posts, and fences. Timers get set so the display runs itself every evening. After the season, we come back, take everything down, and pack it away so next year is just as easy.
We know how Maeser lots are laid out, from long driveways to barns, and plan displays that look great from the road.
We bring the ladders, clips, cord, and timers needed for rooflines, trees, fences, and outbuildings, so you don't have to buy anything extra.
If a design won't hold up to wind or your power can't support it, we'll say so and suggest something that works.
We pick up every clip, tie, and box when we're done, and we don't leave footprints across your flower beds.
On a standard city lot, a roofline and a couple of bushes make a full display. On a Maeser property with an acre or more, the house can look small from the road unless the lights extend out into the yard. The goal is a display that reads well from the street and still looks good up close when you pull in.
We start by looking at the property from the road, then decide what to light and where power can reach. Some ideas that work well on larger lots:
A long driveway is one of the best features to light, since it’s what guests see on the way in. Stake lights along both edges or a strand along a split rail fence can make the whole approach feel festive. Barns and shops are another favorite, since a simple roofline outline on an outbuilding gives the display depth.
Fences need to be solid enough to hold clips through wind and snow. If a few boards or posts have loosened, quick fence repair before install gives the lights something sturdy to hang on.
Some homeowners have bins of lights from past years and just want someone else to hang them. Others would rather start fresh. We do both. If you have your own, we test each strand first and set aside anything that doesn’t light or has worn wiring. If you’d like us to supply the lights, we’ll help you pick colors and styles that fit the look you have in mind.
Supplied lights are a good choice if your old strands are a mix of styles or colors that don’t quite match. A single set across the whole roofline gives the display a cleaner, more even look, and it’s easier to replace a bulb or strand later when everything is the same.
The part most people dread is power. Exterior outlets are often in awkward spots, and on a big lot, the tree or fence you want to light might be far from the house. We plan cord routes so they stay tidy, avoid walkways and the driveway where possible, and keep connections off the ground and away from standing water. Every display gets a timer, so lights come on in the evening and shut off at night without anyone flipping a switch.
If your outlets are already crowded or a breaker tends to trip, let us know during the walkthrough. We can spread the load across circuits and suggest whether LED strands would make more sense, since they draw far less power than older bulbs.
December in Maeser brings cold nights and the occasional storm, and lights have to ride through it. We use clips made for each surface so strands stay put on gutters and shingles, and we keep connections sealed and elevated. Snow sliding off a roof can tug on lights along the eaves. If your roof tends to build up heavy snow, pairing your display with roof snow raking helps keep everything in place.
When the season wraps up, we come back and take it all down. Strands get wound carefully, labeled by location, and packed so they’re easy to put back up next year. If you’d like us to store them, we can hold onto them until the next install, which frees up space in your garage. If you’re tired of hanging lights altogether, permanent property lighting is another option that stays up year round.
We look at your home, yard, and outbuildings from the road and up close, and note where power is available.
You get a free quote based on your layout, whether we supply lights or hang yours, and storage needs.
We test every strand, hang lights with clips matched to each surface, route cords safely, and set your timers.
We turn the display on with you, fix anything that's off, then return after Christmas for takedown and packing.
