Cypress and Tree Christmas Light Installation

Written by Stephen . on October 2, 2025. Posted in Uncategorized.

At this job, we wrapped some really big cypress bushes, used about 20 Christmas light strands on each of them. We put the Christmas lights on the building, the roof line, and the gutter line. The trees in front were nice and filled full of lights. Taller trees right here, real skinny, nice spiral wrapping up the pole of the tree, the base of it. And then some other trees over here, wrapping them evenly so they don’t look too spread thin. But at nighttime, they’ll look really well lit up and full, as if they’re in the Christmas spirit.

Just finished up at this home for the 2025 Christmas season. We have 215 bulbs on this one. You can see we did the roof line and the gutters with Christmas lights as well.. And then we got some mini lights on some of the arborvitae and the butterfly bush over here. And then this other bush will be coming back after Thanksgiving to put some wreaths and garland up on the doors and add a little more Christmas touch.
