Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, it’s time for the fun of holiday magic to start! It’s officially time to go up in that dusty attic once again, or the old shed out back and bring out those unending strands of Christmas lights. If you’re a Christmas lover like I am, then you will no doubt want to deck your house with the festive display of Christmas lights to impress your neighbors and spread holiday cheer. If you’re really jolly, you’ll want to not only light up your house with decorations, but also design Christmas décor for the yard. Your lawn care can help you with design ideas, or you can get plenty of pictures and ideas online.
Landscaping for Christmas
Doing outside Christmas decorating is a task that is fun to include your kids in. Even the little ones can help unravel light strands or plug them in to test them. Older ones can help install lights or yard decorations that don’t involve ladders or other dangerous work.
Be sure when you are buying your Christmas lights, that you choose lights that are waterproof or made for outdoor use. Don’t be afraid to experiment with color and size. LED lights tend to be a bit more expensive, but they last far longer and are a good bit brighter, which makes them a great choice for outdoor lighting. Remember that you should not string together more than 3 strands of lights at a time. If you’re using the bigger C9 or C7 bulbs, they can give a fun, vintage look that’s old-fashioned, but they do blow easier, so you should only string these two strands at a time.
Don’t forget about your actual lawn care for Christmas. You can light up shrubs with different colors or wind lights up trees. Here in the coastal areas, we have palm trees and they look beautiful with Christmas lights all through them! Chase lights create the twinkle effect, while there are also lights made just for tracing the outside shape of your house. These lights can be bought online in any length you need. You can also get lighting nets that can be draped over bushes.
