The box of lights is still in the garage, half the bulbs are tangled, and the ladder has become the least appealing part of the season. If your home deserves a polished holiday look without the time sink, Back 40 Property Services can handle the whole Christmas lighting setup for you.

From clean roofline accents to festive tree wraps and statement displays, we help Raleigh, NC homeowners turn a seasonal chore into a finished look that feels intentional. We plan the layout, install the lights, keep the display neat, and return to remove everything when the season ends.

Holiday curb appeal

A good Christmas display should feel balanced from the street, welcoming at the front walk, and tidy up close. Loose cords, uneven spacing, and dim sections can make a home look unfinished even when the effort is there. We focus on creating a display that fits the shape of the property and the style of the home, not a one-size-fits-all outline.

Back 40 Property Services works with homeowners who want the look without the hassle. Whether you prefer a simple roofline glow or a fuller holiday presentation, we help make the exterior feel festive without turning it into a weekend project.


What we install

Christmas lighting can be as simple or as detailed as you want, but the final result should still look clean and intentional. We handle the setup with an eye toward symmetry, visibility, and safe placement across the property.

  • Roofline lighting for a crisp, classic holiday outline
  • Entry and walkway accents that guide guests toward the front door
  • Tree wrapping for trunks, branches, and standout yard features
  • Landscape highlights that tie the display into the rest of the property
  • Seasonal features that support a simpler or fuller holiday look

We can help shape the display around what your home already has, so the lighting feels like part of the property rather than something forced onto it.

Simple or layered

Some homeowners want a restrained line of light along the roof and front entry. Others want a fuller display with multiple focal points. Either approach can work well when the layout is planned around the home’s structure and your preferred style.


How installation works

A clean holiday display starts long before the lights go up. We begin by looking at the property, talking through the look you want, and deciding where lighting will have the most impact. That keeps the project efficient and avoids last-minute guesswork.

  1. Walk the property

    We review the front of the home, key focal points, and any areas where lighting will need careful placement.

  2. Plan the layout

    We map out the display so rooflines, trees, entry points, and accents work together as one finished look.

  3. Install neatly

    Lights are placed with attention to clean lines, consistent spacing, and a polished appearance from the street.

  4. Check the display

    We confirm the overall look, make adjustments where needed, and make sure the final result matches the plan.

  5. Remove after the season

    When the holidays are over, we return to take down the display so you do not have to deal with the ladder or storage mess.

This approach saves time and keeps the whole process organized from start to finish.


Why homeowners call us

Holiday lighting is one of those tasks that looks simple until you are climbing down the ladder for the fourth time, untangling another strand, or trying to make three different sections line up. Many homeowners want the finished look, but not the trial and error that comes with it.

With Back 40 Property Services, you have one local contact for the setup and the takedown. That matters when you want a display that feels controlled, not improvised. We bring the same attention to detail that guides our broader exterior property work, and we apply it to every line, wrap, and focal point of your Christmas display.

Less hassle

You do not have to sort through boxes, test every bulb, or spend the evening on a ladder. We handle the work so you can focus on the season itself.

Cleaner results

Professional installation helps reduce crooked runs, dangling cords, and uneven light patterns that can distract from the look of the house.


Raleigh homes, seasonal style

Christmas lighting should complement the home, not overwhelm it. In Raleigh, NC, that often means choosing a display that feels polished, visible, and appropriate for the property rather than overcrowded. A thoughtful layout can make a home feel warm and festive without going overboard.

We work with homeowners across Raleigh and nearby communities such as Cary, Durham, Apex, Morrisville, Garner, Wake Forest, Holly Springs, and Knightdale. No matter the size of the property, the goal stays the same: a holiday display that looks clean from the curb and remains easy to enjoy throughout the season.


What to prepare

You do not need to spend hours getting ready before we arrive. A little clarity about your goals goes a long way, and it helps us build a display that matches your space.

  • Tell us your preferred style whether you want simple, traditional, or fuller holiday coverage
  • Point out focal areas such as the roofline, front entry, or trees you want highlighted
  • Share timing details so the display is ready when you want it visible
  • Clear access points around the front of the home to make installation smoother
  • Save your past ideas if you want us to build on a look you have used before

If you are not sure what style fits the house, we can talk through options and help you narrow it down.


Seasonal takedown

The holiday season is fun. The ladder work after it is not. Takedown is a major part of the service because it keeps the end of the season from becoming another project on your list. We remove the display with care so your home is left clean and ready for the next season.

Many homeowners appreciate having both the installation and removal handled by one company. It keeps the entire process simple, avoids storage stress, and means you are not left with a half-finished display hanging into the new year.


Common questions

Can you install lighting on a simple roofline?

Yes. A clean roofline display is one of the most requested options, and it can create a polished holiday look without covering the whole property.

Do you help with displays for trees and shrubs?

Yes. Tree wrapping and landscape accents can add depth to the display and help the front yard feel connected to the home.

What if I want a more restrained look?

That works well. Some homeowners want only the front outline and entry lit, which can still look elegant and complete.

Will the display be removed after the holidays?

Yes. Takedown is part of the service, so you do not have to handle the removal yourself.

Can the lighting be designed around my home’s style?

Yes. We plan each display around the home’s structure, visible features, and the overall look you want for the season.

Do you work outside Raleigh, NC?

Yes. We serve Raleigh along with nearby communities such as Cary, Durham, Apex, Morrisville, Garner, Wake Forest, Holly Springs, and Knightdale.
