Inside an Argyle Home Lighting Season

From the first sketch to January storage, our residential holiday lighting covers every step on your property.

Designed for the lot

On acreage, the gate and drive can matter more than the roof. We plan what shows from the road and what greets you up close.

In-season service

If a section fails, call our office during business hours and we schedule a repair.

Leased product

We supply commercial-grade LED lights cut to fit, and they stay ours, so worn strands are our problem rather than yours.

Takedown

We remove the display after the holidays, from roof clips to stakes along the drive.

Long runs done right

Gate columns and driveway trees far from the house get outdoor-rated runs planned around your outlets.

Storage

Everything is labeled to your property and stored until next fall.

Farm-Themed Streets and Acre-Lot Estates

Argyle grew up around a railroad line built in 1881 and stayed small for most of the 1900s; it incorporated in 1960 and counted about 4,400 residents in 2020. Much of its housing is on large lots, with custom homes in subdivisions like 1830 Place on one-acre lots and Country Club Estates and Estates of Pilot Knob on multi-acre, often wooded tracts. Those houses are frequently set far back, so the view from the road takes in the gate, the drive and the front facade together.

Harvest, the 1,200-acre Hillwood community shared with Northlake, follows an agricultural theme with a 1.5-mile Central Park, the Farmhouse, the Fit Barn and a red barn used for community events, and it also offers one- to three-acre homesites. Homes with farmhouse-inspired fronts and wide porches pair well with warm white lighting and garland on the rails.

From First Call to Takedown in Argyle

Call us

Share your address, lot size and what you picture. Large properties take longer to plan, so September is a good time to start.

Walk the property

We measure the house, the drive and the trees, and note gates and outlets along the way.

Choose the scope

Your proposal itemizes each area so you can light the whole property or start with the entrance.

Install and maintain

Crews install and test everything. During the season, a call gets a repair scheduled.

Remove and store

After the holidays the display comes down and goes into labeled storage.

Argyle Neighborhoods We Light

We cover all of Argyle, from Harvest near I-35W to the custom estates off FM 407 and Hickory Hill Road. Neighbors over the line in Flower Mound and Denton are served by the same crews.

Harvest

A 1,200-acre agrihood with townhomes, single-family homes and one- to three-acre lots, named Community of the Year three times by the Dallas Builders Association. Farm-inspired homes take warm white rooflines and porch garland well, and we check community guidelines first.

1830 Place

Custom homes of roughly 5,500 to 6,000 square feet on one-acre lots. Big facades with several gables call for a plan that highlights the main elevation and frames the entry rather than outlining every edge.

Estate lots along FM 407 and Hickory Hill Road

Properties in subdivisions such as Fox Hollow Estates and Beaver Creek Estates sit on roughly three to nine acres. These lots need lighting planned for distance, starting with the gate and working toward the house.

Country Lakes

An established Argyle neighborhood known for its stocked fishing ponds. Larger brick homes and mature landscaping suit a roofline outline and wrapped trees, and homes near the ponds can catch reflections on the water.

Estates of Pilot Knob

Custom homes on wooded multi-acre tracts named for Pilot Knob, the sandstone rise that gave early Argyle one of its first names. Lighting the drive and the trees nearest the house turns a long approach into part of the display.

Distance, Darkness and Power on Large Lots

The 2020 census classified nearly all of Argyle's residents as living in a rural area, and many roads here have little street lighting. That works in your favor: on a dark lot, even a modest display reads from far away. We design for the long view first, then add detail near the door.

Long drives create a practical problem, which is power. Outlets are usually at the house, not at the gate. During the design visit we map outlets, plan outdoor-rated extension runs and timers, and tell you if a dedicated outlet near the entry would help. Owners who want those trees and paths lit all year can pair the display with landscape lighting in Argyle.

What Moves the Quote on an Argyle Property

Property size changes everything here, so each quote follows a walk of the whole lot.

House outline

How many feet of eave and gable you light is still the starting point on any property.

Power runs

Distance from the outlets to the gate or drive adds extension runs and timer placement.

Height and roof complexity

Custom homes with many roof planes and tall peaks take more crew time than a simple one-story.

Colors and finishing touches

Warm white or multicolor lights, wreaths, garland and gate swags each change the plan and can be added over time. Our ideas on color and style can help narrow the choices.

Driveway and yard trees

Each tree along a drive adds product and labor. Choosing a few key trees keeps the scope in check.

Do you install Christmas lights on homes in Argyle?

–

Yes. We light homes throughout Argyle, ZIP code 76226, including Harvest, Country Lakes and the custom estates off FM 407. Community entrances, churches and businesses are covered on our Argyle Christmas lighting page.

Is it smarter to lease, buy or install permanent lights on a large home?

–

Our seasonal lease covers product, repairs, removal and storage, which is a lot of work on a big house. Buying puts that work on you. Homeowners who want lights mounted year-round can look at permanent lighting near Argyle.

When should I book an Argyle install?

–

Early fall. Installs typically begin in early November, and acreage properties with long drives take more planning, so starting in September helps.

When do you remove the lights?

–

Once the season wraps, typically in the first weeks of January. We pick up everything, including stakes and extension runs along the drive.

Does my Argyle HOA need to approve anything?

–

Harvest and many other subdivisions have associations with display guidelines, while some acreage tracts have only deed restrictions. Send whatever applies and we design within it. Associations wanting entrance lighting can see our community HOA lighting page.

Could clips or crews harm my roof, gutters or a metal porch roof?

–

Nothing is nailed or stapled into your shingles. We use clips on gutters and shingle edges, and if part of your home has a metal roof, we talk through attachment options at the design visit.

How do you power lights at the gate?

–

We run outdoor-rated extension lines from the nearest outlet and set timers so the gate and house come on together. If the distance is long, we may suggest having an electrician add an outlet near the entry.

Do you light farmhouse-style homes in Harvest?

–

Yes. Wide porches, gabled fronts and porch posts on Harvest homes take warm white lighting and garland well. We check the community's guidelines first and keep the design in scale with the street.
