The holidays are a time of joy, celebration, and dazzling displays. For many homeowners, outdoor lighting plays a big part in creating that festive atmosphere. But before the string lights go up and the holiday spirit kicks in, there’s some important prep work to ensure your landscape lighting system is ready to shine.
At Salas Services, we specialize in landscape lighting design, maintenance, and holiday lighting installation. With our help, your home can sparkle safely and beautifully all season long. Here’s how to prepare your landscape lighting for the holidays.
Before you add any new holiday lighting, it’s essential to inspect your existing landscape lighting setup.
Checklist:
If any issues are found, schedule a lighting maintenance service with Salas Services. We’ll make sure your system is safe and functional before the holiday rush.
Over time, outdoor lighting fixtures collect dust, leaves, and debris, which can dim the output or alter the angle of the beam.
Tip: Gently clean lenses with a soft cloth and reposition any fixtures that may have shifted. Well-aimed lighting highlights walkways, trees, and architectural features better—especially when complemented by seasonal décor.
Avoid a cluttered or chaotic look by planning your holiday lighting layout around your existing landscape lighting. Consider how different lighting elements work together to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Ideas:
Our team at Salas Services offers custom holiday lighting design to make your home stand out with elegance and cheer.
Safety should never be compromised for aesthetics. Always use weatherproof, UL-listed holiday lighting products designed for outdoor use. LED lights are especially energy-efficient and last much longer than traditional incandescent bulbs.
Bonus: LEDs are cooler to the touch, reducing the risk of fire or damage to landscaping.
Plugging too many lights into one outlet or extension cord can lead to blown fuses—or worse, electrical hazards.
Tip: Distribute lighting across multiple circuits and use surge protectors where needed. A licensed professional can help ensure your system is configured safely.
Timers and smart controllers make managing your lighting system effortless. Set your lights to turn on at dusk and off at bedtime, or program them for specific colors and patterns throughout the season.
If you’re not already using smart controls, Salas Services can help install and configure a system that fits your holiday needs and everyday use.
The closer it gets to the holidays, the busier lighting companies become. To avoid the last-minute scramble, schedule your holiday lighting installation in advance. At Salas Services, we offer timely and expert setup that ensures your home is holiday-ready—without the hassle.

Our professional arborists can assess the tree's health and safety to determine if removal is necessary.
The frequency of tree trimming or pruning depends on various factors such as tree species, age, and overall health. As a general guideline, it is recommended to have trees pruned every 3-5 years to maintain their shape, promote healthy growth, and remove any hazardous or dead branches.
The ideal time to plant new trees depends on the tree species and climate.
