What a Lake Dallas Home Package Covers

The Christmas lighting we provide for homes is the same full season in Lake Dallas as anywhere else we work.

Designed on site

We look at your roof, porch and trees in person and draw a design that fits a Lake Dallas lot, not a stock layout.

Repairs until the holidays end

A dark strand is one phone call away from a fix, with no evening ladder trip for you.

Leased lights, cut to length

Commercial-grade LEDs are measured for each run and stay our property, so you never shop for replacement strands.

Removal

In early January we take down lights, clips and timers and leave the yard clean.

Insured installers

Crews covered by liability and workers' compensation insurance do all of the ladder and roof work.

Stored for next season

Your lights wait in labeled bags at our facility until it is time to put them back up.

Older Ranch Homes and Newer Subdivisions

Lake Dallas began as Garza, a railroad community organized in 1881, and took its present name in the 1920s after the Garza-Little Elm Reservoir was built. The town incorporated in 1965 and kept growing, from about 1,400 people in 1970 to roughly 7,700 at the 2020 census. Near the town center, many houses are older one-story ranch homes with low eaves and front porches, a shape that lights cleanly with one run along the front and a wrapped yard tree.

Subdivisions such as Thousand Oaks, Jackson Ranch and Falcon Place brought two-story brick homes on lots of roughly an eighth to a quarter acre. Those houses have stacked gables and taller garage fronts, so the design usually outlines the main peaks and the garage edge. Greenbelt and creek-view lots in Jackson Ranch add trees that look good wrapped.

Five Steps to a Lit Lake Dallas Home

Call or go online

Tell us where you live and what you want lit. Early fall calls get the widest choice of dates.

Visit and measure

We measure rooflines and trees, check outlets, and ask whether your subdivision has an HOA.

Your design

A written proposal shows each lit element alongside the quote. Adjust it until it fits.

Install and service

Crews install and test in one visit for most homes, and repairs during the season are a call away.

Removal and storage

After the holidays we remove the display and store it labeled for your address.

Lake Dallas Streets and Subdivisions We Light

Lake Dallas is compact, so we cover the whole town. Homes nearby in Denton to the north and Lewisville to the south are also on our route.

Thousand Oaks

Built in phases on streets named for oaks, Thousand Oaks has two-story and single-story brick homes on lots of about a sixth to a quarter acre. Front peaks, a lit garage edge and a wrapped yard tree make a balanced display.

Oaks at North Lakeview

A smaller subdivision with a shared entrance and homes on compact lots. A tidy roofline outline and a lit front bed suit these houses without overwhelming them.

Older streets near Main Street

The town's original core holds older ranch-style homes on established lots. Single-story eaves and porches take warm white lighting well, and big yard trees provide height.

Jackson Ranch

Two-story homes here sit on lots up to about a quarter acre, and some back to a greenbelt with a creek view. Rear-facing trees and rooflines can be lit for those views as well as the street.

Falcon Place

Newer homes on lots around an eighth of an acre, including two-story plans over 3,000 square feet. Tall facades on narrow lots call for crisp peak outlines that stay within your property line.

Mature Oaks and Wind Off Lewisville Lake

Neighborhood names like Thousand Oaks and Oaks at North Lakeview fit the town: many yards have mature oaks, and the shoreline trail at Willow Grove Park runs through forest. Tree wraps are often the feature that sets a Lake Dallas display apart, and we fit them so strands sit snugly without binding bark.

The town sits right on Lewisville Lake, and the Lewisville Lake Toll Bridge carries Swisher Road across open water to Little Elm. North winds come hard off that water in winter, so we secure every run and test it before leaving. For lighting that stays on in the yard after the holidays, see landscape lighting for Lake Dallas homes.

What Affects Your Lake Dallas Quote

We measure first and quote second. These are the biggest variables.

Roofline feet

The length of eaves and gables you choose to light sets most of the product needed.

Color and style

Warm white, multicolor and bulb choices affect the product list. Browse current Christmas lighting trends for ideas.

Roof height

A one-story ranch is quicker and simpler than a two-story with steep peaks.

Extra pieces

Wreaths, garland, netted shrubs and walk lights are optional and can be added later.

Oak trees

Wrapping a big oak's trunk and limbs takes a lot of product. We help pick which trees matter most.

Do you install Christmas lights on homes in Lake Dallas?

–

Yes. We light homes throughout Lake Dallas, ZIP code 75065, from older streets near Main Street to Thousand Oaks and Jackson Ranch. For businesses on Swisher Road and civic sites, see our Lake Dallas Christmas lighting page.

Do I lease or buy the lights, and do you offer permanent lighting?

–

Seasonal lights are leased: we supply, maintain, remove and store them, so nothing piles up in your attic. If you would rather have lights mounted year-round, ask about permanent lighting near Lake Dallas.

When should I book?

–

Early fall. Installs typically begin in early November, and calling by October keeps more dates open for your home.

When are lights removed?

–

We take them down in early January as a rule, after the holiday season. Each strand is then stored labeled for your home.

Does my subdivision HOA need to approve the lights?

–

Some Lake Dallas subdivisions have associations and some do not. If yours does, send us the guidelines and we design within them. Our association entrance lighting program also covers entrance lighting for associations.

Will clips damage my roof or gutters?

–

We use gutter and shingle clips, not nails or staples through shingles, and remove every clip at takedown. Older roofs are checked at the design visit, and we tell you if anything looks fragile.

What about outlets and timers?

–

We plug into your outdoor outlets and set timers for the hours you want. Older homes near the town center may have just one exterior outlet, and we plan the layout around it.

Can you wrap the big oaks in my yard?

–

Yes. We measure each oak at the design visit and cut lighting to fit the trunk and main limbs. Strands are snug but not tight, and they come off completely in January.
