Decorating a large or high-value home with Christmas lights requires more planning than a standard holiday display.
Larger homes often have complex rooflines, multiple peaks, courtyards, and landscaping that all factor into the overall lighting design.
For homeowners in El Paso and Las Cruces, planning a Christmas lighting budget early helps secure the best
installation dates and allows time to design a display that truly complements your home.
Start With Your Lighting Goals
Before budgeting for Christmas lights, decide what type of display you want.
- Roofline lighting only
- Roofline + trees and landscaping
- Garlands, wreaths, and bows
- Full luxury lighting display
