Where garland looks incredible
Pricing typically $20–$35 per linear foot installed with lights and bows.
Pay once to own them. Then watch your price drop.
Most companies charge you full price every single year. We don't. Your first season covers your custom, commercial-grade lights — and you own them. Every year after, you pay a lower flat price for just the install, because the lights are already yours.
Your investment covers design, your own commercial-grade C9 LED lights, and professional installation. You own the lights from day one.
A lower flat price for just install and takedown — since you already own the lights. No re-buying, no surprise increases.
Free takedown. Free climate-controlled storage. Bulbs and clips replaced as needed. No service-call fees, ever.
Store with us — it's free, and it's the smart move.
When the season ends, we take everything down and store your lights in our climate-controlled warehouse — at no charge. No tangled boxes in your garage, no attic clutter, nothing to lose. As long as we store your lights, they stay under warranty — we replace bulbs and clips as needed and have them ready to go every November. Lose your own lights and you're buying them again; store with us and you never do. It's hassle-free for you, and it lets our crew move faster every season.
Professional garland installation done right.
Garland is one of the classiest details to a luxury holiday display. We install lit and unlit garland on porches, columns, balustrades, railings, mantels (interior), gates, and architectural archways across DFW. Done right, garland adds texture, depth, and a layered feel that pure roofline lighting can't achieve alone.
What we install & how we do it.
Front Porch Garland
The classic porch garland — running along the top of the porch beam, draped over double front doors, or wrapped around porch columns. Adds instant front-of-house drama.
Column Wrapping
Spiraled garland around square or round columns from base to capital. Lit garland (warm white C9 LED interwoven) looks especially dramatic on tall columns.
Stair Railing & Balustrade
Curved garland running along outdoor stair railings and balustrades. Common on front entry steps and side garden stairs.
Gate & Archway
Garland framing an entry gate or architectural archway. Often paired with a wreath centered above. Lit options create a 'walking through Christmas' moment.
Premium Greenery
We source premium artificial mixed-pine garland that holds shape and looks realistic season after season. Fresh garland is also available if you prefer the natural scent (though it requires more frequent replacement).
Our process.
Linear Measurement
We measure every porch beam, column, railing run, and archway that will get garland.
Garland Selection
Choose lit or unlit, fresh or premium artificial, mixed pine or single-species, with or without accents like berries, pinecones, or ribbons.
Pro Installation
We secure garland with non-damaging methods — zip-ties on rails, wire wraps on columns. Light strands run discretely inside the greenery.
Refresh Service
Fresh garland may need a mid-season refresh — we'll come back if needed to swap in new pieces.
Honest, transparent pricing.
Garland installation typically runs $25–$45 per linear foot for premium lit garland, or $15–$30 per linear foot for unlit. A typical front porch garland (20-30 feet) runs $300–$900 depending on greenery quality and whether it's lit.

Lit or unlit garland — what's the difference?+
Lit garland has C9 LED warm-white bulbs woven through the greenery — beautiful at night, magical from the curb. Unlit garland just relies on daytime visibility and looks elegant when paired with strong roofline lighting. Lit costs more but is what most luxury homes choose.
Will the garland survive Dallas weather?+
Premium artificial garland is weather-rated and holds up beautifully through a North Texas winter. Fresh garland tends to dry out by mid-December — we recommend mid-season refresh for fresh greenery.
Can you do garland on stone columns?+
Yes — we wrap stone columns just and wood. We use non-damaging attachment methods that don't mark or scratch the stone.
How do you keep garland from sagging?+
We hide a structural backing (florist wire or supports) inside premium garland. It holds its shape upward through the season without drooping.
Lit garland installation for DFW luxury homes
Lit and unlit garland is one of the classiest details to a luxury holiday display. We install garland on front porches, columns, balustrades, stair railings, gates, and architectural archways across DFW. Done well, garland adds the textural mid-range layer that pure roofline lighting can't achieve — depth and warmth visible from both the curb and the front step.
Where garland looks best
Front porch garland is the classic placement — running along the top of porch beams, draped over double front doors, or wrapped around porch columns. Adds instant drama and welcomes guests with warmth. Column wrapping (spiraling garland around square or round columns from base to capital) is particularly dramatic on tall luxury columns. Stair railings and balustrades on outdoor stairs benefit from curved garland that follows the railing's lines. Gate and archway garland framing entrance gates or architectural archways creates 'walking through Christmas' moments. Interior mantels can also be done if requested.
Lit vs unlit garland — the difference
Lit garland has C9 LED warm-white bulbs woven through the greenery — beautiful at night and magical from the curb. Unlit garland relies on daytime visibility and looks elegant when paired with strong roofline lighting. Lit costs more but is what most luxury homes choose. The combination of lit garland + lit roofline + lit wreaths creates the layered magazine-quality holiday display.
Greenery quality matters
Premium artificial garland (mixed pine, cedar, eucalyptus) holds shape and looks realistic season after season. We source professional-grade greenery from manufacturers who supply commercial properties and luxury hotels. Cheap big-box garland droops, sheds, and loses needle color quickly. The quality difference is visible at distance — premium garland reads as full and dimensional; cheap garland reads as thin and limp. Fresh garland (real evergreen) offers authentic scent but requires mid-season refresh as it dries out.
Installation methodology
We secure garland with non-damaging methods that hold strong all season. Zip-ties on railings, wire wraps on columns, hidden hooks on porch beams. Light strands run discreetly inside the greenery — wiring is invisible from any normal viewing angle. We hide a structural backing (florist wire or supports) inside premium garland to maintain its shape upward through the season without drooping. Every garland we install is tested for stability before we leave.
Garland coordination with other elements
Garland works best as part of a coordinated holiday lighting design. We match the warm-white color temperature of your roofline (typically 2700K) so all warm-white elements read as the same color. Garland bow colors coordinate with your wreath styling. Garland length is sized appropriately — too thin looks anemic, too thick looks overdone. The goal is layered visual weight that draws the eye from the roofline (top) down through garland (middle) to wreaths and pathway lights (bottom).
Garland pricing in DFW
Premium lit garland typically runs $25-$45 per linear foot installed. Unlit premium garland runs $15-$30 per linear foot. A typical front porch garland (20-30 linear feet) runs $300-$900 depending on greenery quality and whether it's lit. Column wrapping is priced per column (typically $80-$150 per standard column for lit garland). Long stair railings and architectural archways are quoted per project.
Garland Installation questions answered.
Lit or unlit garland — which is better?+
Both look beautiful but create different moods. Lit garland (with C9 LED woven through) has warm magical glow at night and is what most luxury DFW homes choose. Unlit garland looks elegant in daylight and against lit rooflines. Lit garland costs $25-$45 per linear foot installed; unlit costs $15-$30 per linear foot.
Can you do garland on stone or brick columns?+
Yes. We wrap stone, brick, and stucco columns just and wood. We use non-damaging attachment methods that don't mark or scratch the surface. Stone column garland is particularly dramatic when lit at night.
Can I just bring my own garland for you to install?+
Yes. We'll install garland you already own for labor cost only. Just have it ready and we'll handle the rest including takedown and storage. Note that lower-quality garland may not look as good as professional-grade — we'll give honest input during the design consultation.
Do I pay full price for Christmas lights every year?+
No. Your first season covers your custom commercial-grade C9 LED lights, design, and installation — and you own the lights from then on. Every year after, you pay a lower flat price for just the install and takedown, because the lights are already yours. No re-buying and no surprise increases, and no hidden or service-call fees.
Do you store my Christmas lights, and what does that include?+
Yes — free climate-controlled storage is included. When the season ends we take everything down and store your lights for you, so there's no clutter in your garage and nothing to lose. As long as we store your lights they stay under warranty: we replace bulbs and clips as needed and have everything ready each November. It keeps reinstalls fast and hassle-free, with no service-call fees.
The difference is in the details.
Three things separate professional luxury Christmas light installation from amateur work: materials, craftsmanship, and service relationship. Materials matter because commercial-grade C9 LED bulbs with sealed gaskets and polycarbonate shells last 10-15+ years compared to 2-3 seasons for big-box residential strands. The visible difference at the curb is significant — commercial-grade reads as crisp and elegant; residential-grade reads as fuzzy and inconsistent. Over many years, the cost difference is more than recovered through reliability.
Craftsmanship is where amateur installations fail and professional installations excel. Custom-cut C9 LED strands fitted exactly to your home's rooflines — every gable, dormer, valley, and architectural detail — create the magazine-quality holiday display that template installations simply cannot match. Every bulb evenly spaced. Every line clean. Every transition smooth. The lights look like they were designed for your home specifically, because they were.
Service relationship is what transforms transactional installation into long-term partnership. Free in-season service calls when something fails. January takedown and year-round storage so you store nothing. Lifetime warranty on installed LEDs. Returning customer priority and locked pricing. Same crew returning year after year, building deep familiarity with your home. The difference between installing Christmas lights once and being part of a homeowner's annual holiday tradition is real, and it's the difference our 500+ DFW customers per season come back for year after year.
