#1 Hire Professionals

The best way to ensure that you have the absolute best Christmas lighting in your neighbourhood is to work with professionals who do this day in and day out. If you really want to make your property stand out more than that neighbour who has had the best Christmas lighting on your block for the past 5 years… Let’s call him Bill… The only way to knock Bill off of his Christmas lighting throne is to work with professionals who have the tools, equipment and capability to make your vision a reality.

#2 Plan Ahead

If you truly want to have the best Christmas lighting you will need to plan ahead. Planning ahead gives you the foresight and most importantly the time to plan out your vision and work around any changes you want to make before making your big reveal. Having the time to be prepared and make changes will help you get a head start on having your neighbourhoods best Christmas lighting.

#3 Out with the Old, In with the New

Last years lights may have been great and you may have even garnished a few compliments from friends and family about your Christmas lighting. But let’s face it if those lights weren’t the best last year they probably won’t be winning any awards this year. Now is a great opportunity to work with professionals to choose the latest and greatest equipment and designs to make sure that you have the best looking house on your block. This doesn’t mean you have to replace everything. You can use your favourites from last year to accent some new eye-catching Christmas lighting.

#4 Know Your Lights

This is an essential part of planning your Christmas lighting and making sure you have the best-looking property in your neighbourhood. Taking the time to talk to a trusted professional will help you gain the knowledge you need to make your vision a reality. Having a good understanding of what will work with your property and budget will be key to helping you come up with a plan that is sure to turn heads and keep Bill from taking the Christmas lighting crown another year.

#5 Add Some Dimensions and Character

Throwing thousands of lights on your property or copying Bills Christmas lighting from last year isn’t the way you want to go if you truly want to have the best-looking property in your neighbourhood. Consider additions like ground and stake lighting, using a complimentary choice of Christmas lighting colours and taking the time to plan out which lights and colours will work well for outlining paths, walkways and driveways. Speak to a professional about which products and design choices you can use to add your own personal flair to your Christmas lighting.

There you have it! 5 tips that will be sure to help you beat Bill and have everybody on your block saying that you have the best Christmas lighting.
