Tree & Landscape Christmas Light Installation

Add depth beyond the roofline with commercial-grade 5MM mini lights and C9 stake lighting. We design around trees, shrubs, porch columns, hedges, pathways and other landscape features to create a layered display that feels intentional from the street.

Mini lights & stake lighting

Mini-light installation is generally $35–$50 per strand. C9 stake lighting is generally $12 per linear foot.

Commercial-grade mini lights

Dense, consistent light for trees and landscape features

Our 50-light 5MM LED sets use 6-inch spacing and approximately 25 feet of lighted length, allowing the design to scale from porch columns and shrubs to larger trees.

50 LED

5MM conical LEDs

Small, bright commercial-grade LEDs create a refined sparkle without oversized bulbs in dense foliage.

6 IN

Consistent spacing

Six-inch bulb spacing provides predictable density when strands are wrapped or layered.

25 FT

Lighted length

Each 50-light set provides roughly 25 feet of illuminated length for estimating coverage.

75K HR

Long bulb life

Commercial-grade LEDs are designed for repeated seasonal use rather than disposable retail decoration.

Color options

Build a landscape palette around the home

Match the roofline, create a two-color theme or use multicolor accents in landscaping. The point is consistency across the entire display.

Where we use them

Lighting that adds depth from the curb to the front door

Trees & trunks

Wrap trunks and selected branch structures to create vertical focal points and depth beyond the roofline.

Shrubs & hedges

Add lower-level sparkle and help connect larger architectural elements into one coordinated display.

Porch columns

Mini lights can wrap columns and vertical entry features for a stronger arrival experience.

Pathways

C9 ground stakes create crisp lines along walks, driveways and landscape borders.

Entry landscaping

Use warm white or coordinated colors to frame wreaths, garland and the front entrance.

Layered displays

Combine roofline, landscaping and décor so the property looks complete rather than pieced together.

Stake lighting

Define pathways and borders with C9 ground stakes

Five-inch stakes hold C9 sockets upright along suitable landscape borders, creating a straight, repeatable line of light.

C9 Christmas light ground stake

C9 stake lighting is generally $12 per linear foot and can coordinate with roofline bulb colors.

Frequently asked questions

Tree & landscape lighting questions

Clear answers before you request a design or proposal.

How much does mini-light installation cost?

Mini-light installation is generally $35–$50 per strand. Total cost depends on how many strands are required, the height and density of the feature, access and the desired lighting density.

What can you wrap with mini lights?

Mini lights can be used on suitable trees, trunks, branches, shrubs, hedges, porch columns and other landscape features included in the approved design.

What mini-light colors are available?

Our commercial-grade 5MM mini lights are available in warm white, red, green, multicolor, red/green and warm white/red options.

How much light is on each mini-light strand?

Each 50-light commercial-grade set has approximately 25 feet of lighted length with 6-inch spacing.

Can you connect multiple mini-light sets?

The commercial-grade sets we carry are designed to connect up to 45 sets, subject to the installation plan and power requirements.

Can you light pathways and driveway edges?

Yes. C9 stake lighting can create defined pathways, driveway edges and landscape borders at approximately $12 per linear foot.

Will tree lighting damage the landscaping?

The installation plan is selected for the plant material and application. We avoid treating living landscaping like a permanent attachment surface.

Is maintenance and takedown included?

Our full-service model includes in-season service plus seasonal takedown and storage according to the project scope.

Match the technique to the feature

Trees, shrubs, columns and pathways should not all be lit the same way.

Landscape lighting works best when each element has a purpose in the overall design. Mini lights create dense texture; stake lighting creates crisp borders; roofline C9s stay focused on the architecture.

Tree trunks & branches

5MM mini lights can create a dense wrapped look. The number of strands depends on trunk circumference, height, branch coverage and desired density.

Shrubs & hedges

Consistent mini-light coverage can create a clean base layer without competing with the roofline.

Porch columns

Wrapped mini lights can make the entry feel connected to the architecture and greenery.

Walkways & borders

C9 ground stakes provide a more structured line for selected paths, beds or driveway edges.
