Decorating for the holidays sounds fun until you’re three hours into untangling last year’s holiday decorations on a cold November afternoon. For many Denver homeowners and businesses, the reality involves ladders, rooftops, extension cords, and more time than anyone planned for.
American Arbor Care provides full-service Christmas light installation across Denver and the surrounding area, including custom design, professional installation, post-season takedown, and optional storage for your holiday lighting needs. The commercial-grade lights are LEDs purchased on your behalf, so you own them and can reuse them year after year. There’s no renting, returning, or wondering whether the same style will be available next season.
We’ve been serving Denver since 1995 with professional outdoor services homeowners and businesses count on, and holiday lighting is a natural extension of that work.
Most people can hang a strand of lights for their festive decorations, but doing it well and safely without losing a whole weekend is another matter.
Safety First
Holiday light installation is one of the most common causes of ladder-related injuries during winter. Our lighting professionals have the training, equipment, and safety protocols to handle rooflines, gutters, and tall trees without putting anyone at risk.
Save Time During the Busy Holiday Season
A full lighting system setup can easily take an entire weekend for a homeowner working alone. A professional crew handles everything from design to testing in a fraction of the time.
Better Results
There’s a visible difference between a DIY job and a professional installation of your Christmas display. Balanced lighting, clean roofline placement, proper spacing, and symmetry are hard to get right without experience and the right tools.
Reliable Lighting All Season
Commercial-grade LEDs are built for Colorado winters. They’re brighter, more durable, and more energy-efficient than what you’ll find at big box stores, and with proper installation they stay lit from November through January.
We handle every step so you don’t have to think about it.
- Design consultation: We evaluate your property and provide customized design services to put together a custom lighting layout based on the architecture, layout, and any features you want to highlight.
- Custom lighting and materials: We purchase commercial-grade LED lights on your behalf in a wide range of color choices, bulb styles, and options for rooflines, trees, shrubs, walkways, and entryways. You own the lights and can reuse them each season.
- Professional installation:Our crew installs everything cleanly and securely. We don’t cut corners with clips or fasteners, and we don’t leave marks or damage behind.
- Seasonal maintenance:Denver weather is unpredictable. If lights stop working or a storm causes issues, our team responds quickly to keep the display looking its best.
- Post-holiday takedown: Once the season wraps up, we remove everything carefully. No leftover clips, no forgotten strands.
- Optional storage: We offer professional storage so your lights are kept in good condition and ready for the following year.
Every property is different, and the best displays work with the architecture and landscaping that’s already there.
- Roofline Lighting:Clean lines of light along the roofline highlight the architecture of the home and create the classic holiday look
- Tree and Shrub Lighting: Wraps that add depth and warmth, especially dramatic on large trees
- Entryway and Walkway Lighting: Festive lighting along paths and entrances creates a welcoming first impression and improves visibility at night
- Wreaths and Pre-Lit Greenery: LED wreaths and greenery that layer in with roofline and landscape lighting
For homeowners, we design and install custom displays that fit the space and the budget, with safe installation and stress-free decorating from start to finish. For businesses, HOAs, apartment complexes, retail centers, restaurants, and hotels, a professional display attracts foot traffic, sets the right tone for the season, and reflects well on your brand.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How much does Christmas light installation cost in Denver?
The cost of your holiday display depends on the size of your property and the complexity of the design (such as high rooflines or large tree wraps). Because we use a purchase model—where we buy commercial-grade LEDs on your behalf—your first-year cost includes the high-quality materials you will own. In subsequent years, your cost is significantly lower as you only pay for labor, maintenance, and takedown.When should I schedule Christmas light installation in Denver?
The best time for scheduling in Denver is July – September. Our calendar fills up quickly, often 6–8 weeks in advance. To guarantee your lights are shining before Thanksgiving, we recommend booking by before the end of September.Do I need to provide my own Christmas lights for installation?
No. To ensure the highest quality and safety, we provide commercial-grade LED lights purchased specifically for your home. Unlike lights from big-box stores, these are more durable, brighter, and custom-cut to fit your roofline perfectly. The best part? You own these lights. There are no recurring rental fees, and you can reuse them year after year.Do you install Christmas lights on roofs, trees, and landscaping?
