There’s nothing like a beautifully lit home during the holidays. From rooflines glowing in white lights to trees wrapped in color, a great lighting display makes your house feel festive, welcoming, and full of holiday cheer. But here’s the part no one likes talking about—actually putting those lights up.
If you’ve ever spent a weekend untangling cords, balancing on a ladder, or running back and forth to the hardware store, you know it’s not as simple as it looks. Hanging Christmas lights takes more than holiday spirit—it takes time, tools, and the right know-how.
Or of course, you can just call Axe Lawn Services and get it done with ease.
These Aren’t Your Average Christmas Lights
When people think of Christmas lights, they often imagine a simple string of bulbs on the roofline. But the possibilities go way beyond that. Here are some of the most popular options homeowners in Houston are choosing right now:
- Roofline lighting for a clean, classic outline of your home’s structure
- Tree wraps and trunk lighting to add depth and dimension
- Porch and column lighting for entryway impact
- Walkway and landscape lighting for extra curb appeal
- Color-changing LED options for homeowners who want flexibility
- Icicle lights, mini lights, globe lights, and commercial-grade C9 bulbs in multiple colors
You can go elegant, bold, minimal, or over-the-top. But no matter the style, one thing’s certain—it needs to be installed right, or it’s not going to shine the way you want.
Hanging Lights Isn’t Just Tedious—It Can Be Dangerous
Sure, you could do it yourself. But if your home is more than one story, you’re immediately taking on more risk than you might realize.
Climbing a ladder to hang lights on a second-story roofline comes with real danger. Wet leaves, uneven ground, or one wrong shift can send you to the ER. Even with a helper, it’s difficult to manage long cords, clips, and power sources when you’re trying to keep your balance and reach tricky corners.
Not to mention electrical hazards. Do you know if your extension cords are rated for outdoor use? Is your home’s outlet on a GFCI circuit? Are your clips damaging shingles or gutters? Overloaded circuits and poor installation can lead to shorts, blown breakers, or even fire hazards.
And then there’s the tedious part—testing each strand, replacing burned-out bulbs, figuring out which plug connects where, and realizing you don’t have enough clips halfway through the job.
DIY lighting sounds fun until you’re 12 feet off the ground with cold fingers and a tangled mess in your hands.
