What a Bedford Home Season Covers

Measuring, hanging, fixing and packing up all fall to our crew, not you.

A plan for your street view

We design from what passing neighbors see: the front roofline, the entry and the trees between the house and the curb.

Repairs while it is up

If a section stops working, phone us during weekday office hours and a crew comes back to fix it.

Cut-to-fit LED, leased

Professional-grade LED strands are trimmed to your measurements and leased for the season, so your garage shelves stay empty.

Takedown in January

We return when the holidays are done, usually in the first part of January, and remove every strand and clip.

Tree wraps and bed lighting

Bedford's older streets have grown-in trees and foundation plantings, and lighting them adds the depth a single-story roofline needs.

Ready for next year

Your display is boxed with your address on it and kept in our storage until the next season.

How Bedford's Growth Shaped Its Houses

Bedford had fewer than 3,000 residents in 1960 and nearly 50,000 by 2020, adopting its home rule charter in 1966 as the Mid-Cities filled in between Dallas and Fort Worth. Most of its roughly 23,000 housing units were built during those decades of growth, in subdivisions such as Bedford Meadows, Stonegate, Shady Brook, Whisperwood, Rustic Woods and Oaks of Bedford. Durango Ridge adds another pocket of single-family streets, and recent townhome projects such as Parkwood Oaks on Harwood Road show the city is still adding homes on its remaining land.

Because so many Bedford houses were built in a few decades, many follow familiar suburban patterns: single-story or modest two-story homes with a main ridge, one or two front gables and an attached garage. That makes the front elevation the natural canvas. We outline the main eave and the front gables, frame the entry, and use the yard for depth, with a wrapped tree, lit beds along the walk or a lit row of shrubs under the front windows. Older trees on established streets add height without adding roofline.

The Bedford Lighting Process

Reach out

Call or request a quote online. If you live on a display street, mention it so we plan the timing around it.

Home visit

We measure, locate outlets, look at your trees and talk about colors or street themes.

Installation

Most Bedford homes take a few hours. With outlets reachable and gates open, you do not need to be there.

Season service

Timers handle the nightly schedule. If something fails, one call to our office sets up the repair.

Removal and storage

After the holidays we take the display down, label it and keep it until next season.

Bedford Neighborhoods We Light

Bedford is compact, and its neighborhoods sit close together between Highway 183 and Highway 121. Neighbors in nearby cities can read about home lighting in Euless and holiday lights for Hurst houses.

Glenbrook

The neighborhood behind Bedford's long-running Glenbrook Christmas display, entered from Brookside Drive. Designs here coordinate with the street's red curb lights and storybook theme and are built to impress a steady stream of slow-moving cars.

Stonegate and Nottingham

Neighborhoods in 76022 with streets like King Drive and Greendale Drive. On homes with long single-story fronts, a continuous eave line with lit foundation shrubs looks tidy and complete.

Durango Ridge and Whisperwood

Durango Ridge, off Durango Ridge Drive, and Whisperwood, near Walnut Drive. Where a home has a two-story front, traced gables and window wreaths fill the upper wall, and mature landscaping can take wraps. For year-round path and tree lighting, see our Bedford landscape lighting.

Bedford Meadows

Streets such as Oakmeadow Place and Meadow View. Front gables and garage fronts get a clean outline, and a wrapped tree or two adds height on the open front lawns.

Oaks of Bedford and Shady Brook

Streets such as Crestview Drive and Springdale Road, where established trees shade many yards. Trunk and limb wraps carry much of the design, with a simple roofline behind them.

Glenbrook's Tradition and Display-Street Planning

For nearly four decades, the Glenbrook neighborhood has turned its streets into a free drive-through display, telling the story of 'It's the night before Christmas, in Texas that is' with red lights lining the curbs. Visitors enter on Brookside Drive between Cummings and Forest Ridge, and cars move slowly past every house each evening through the end of December. A few miles away, the Daystar Christmas display on Highway 121 lights its grounds with more than two million lights. If you live on or near a display route, your design should read well from a slow-moving car, match any shared colors and hold up to weeks of nightly use.

Streets elsewhere in Bedford are quieter, and many established subdivisions have no HOA. Where an association does set guidelines, we follow them. Glenbrook and other neighborhood groups may coordinate themes, so tell us about any plan your street follows. Associations planning entrance lighting can read our HOA Christmas light installation details.

What Goes Into a Bedford Quote

We measure your house, then quote the exact pieces you choose.

Length of the lit roofline

A single-story front is a short run, while a home with several gables or a two-story section adds feet of product.

Colors and themes

Warm white, multicolor or a street-matched color like red changes what we cut for your home.

Height of the work

Second-story eaves and steeper gables take more time and safety gear than a low ranch eave.

Curb, entry and walkway pieces

Lit curb lines, entry garland, wreaths and walkway markers are quoted individually so you can add or skip each.

Trees in the yard

Established Bedford trees can be large, and wrapping a mature trunk and its limbs adds strands and labor.

Do you install Christmas lights on homes in Bedford?

–

Yes. We light houses across Bedford's 76021 and 76022 ZIP codes, from Glenbrook and Bedford Meadows to Stonegate, Oaks of Bedford and Durango Ridge. For offices, medical buildings and HOA entrances, see our Bedford Christmas lighting page.

Do I lease or buy, and are permanent lights an option?

–

Seasonal service is a lease: we bring the lights, keep them working and take them back. Prefer a track system that stays up and changes colors for other holidays? Read about our permanent lighting near Bedford. Seasonal lights remain the simpler choice if you want nothing mounted on the house year-round.

When should Bedford homeowners book?

–

Contact us in late summer or by early October. Installs typically begin in early November, and dates fill from the earliest requests forward; homes on display streets like Glenbrook usually want lights up before the first big weekend, so earlier is better.

When will my lights be taken down?

–

We schedule removal after the holidays, typically in early January, and store your display labeled for your home. If your street keeps its lights on through New Year's, takedown follows that.

Do I need HOA approval in Bedford?

–

Many Bedford subdivisions have no HOA, and where one exists the rules usually cover timing or placement. Send us any guidelines or street-theme details and we will match them. Our residential Christmas lights hub explains the full process.

Can lights damage my roof or gutters?

–

No. We use clips that fit gutters, shingle edges and ridges, and we never nail or staple into the roof or trim. All clips come off at removal.

How do timers and power work?

–

We plug into your exterior outlets and set timers to your preferred hours, or to match the hours your display street keeps. If an outlet is not working, we tell you before install day.

I live in Glenbrook. Can you match the street's display?

–

Yes. Share the colors and theme your neighbors use, and we will design and cut your lights to fit in, including red curb lighting if your street uses it.
