Ho Ho Holiday Yards – Our Favorite Looks For The Holiday Season!

Why is decorating outside something to put in a lot of effort?

We all know the number one answer to this question: everyone could use the uplifting, positive holiday spirit that can make so many people feel better mentally. It’s a welcome distraction from all the stressors life brings you.

It can help with concentration – putting your mind and time towards a fun goal that works out that part of your brain. Additionally, it allows you to feel some control amidst the chaos the holiday season brings and offers great conversation for your neighbors and friends!

How do you work with the space you’ve got?

Not everyone’s landscape size or shape will be the same, and you’ve got to work with what you have. So the first thing to do is assess the dimensions of your lawn – how long, wide, or deep it is and any unusual shapes it may have.

Then, you can start planning for decorations that fit within those dimensions and plan out different-sized decor to make it feel less crowded. For example, string lights the correct length along the fence, lawn statues of various sizes, and other decorations to fill in the gaps.

Decorating for the simple, minimalist in you

Only some enjoy the luxurious, bright, dazzling display that others might for the holidays. That’s totally okay and understandable! We can help you set up a lovely outdoor display that suits your simple style.

Simple garlands (light up of plain) around the door, a beautiful wreath hanging on the front door, lights lining the edges of your roof, greenery on the steps leading up to your front door, and maybe a couple of lanterns along pathways may seem simple but make an impact!

Easy but fun decorations on a budget

We understand that many folks want to bring the holly jolly to their home but may not be able to do everything they want to financially. The biggest thing to invest in for a beautiful but frugal display is lighting – enough to line the roof, fencing, outdoor shrubs, and trees or around the front door.

After lighting, you can cut costs in many different areas and still look wonderful. Opt for homemade garlands made of greenery and extra ornaments you may have, using leftover ribbon for bows around landscape lighting and wrapping up empty boxes to make them look like large presents around your lawn.

Holiday decorations for the rustic lovers

The rustic theme has become popular in recent years, with its charming and “homey” feel. It’s all about the colors and patterns you choose and the decor you enjoy. Putting up warm lights instead of colorful ones and lots of greenery is a great way to start!

From there, we can help you figure out a way to display those distressed wood lanterns, fake deer, pinecone-speckled garlands, candles, and flannel-patterned decorations you like. We can make your aesthetic work regardless of your favorite kinds of decor!

Extravagant outdoor decorations for the fancy side of you

This type of holiday setup is for all of you that go all-out for the holiday season; no judgment or shame here! If you have the time, patience, and ability, why not go above and beyond? You have endless opportunities, and we can set them up safely and efficiently.

We’re ready for your colorful string lights, icicle lights, feet of light-up greenery, extra outdoor trees, cartoon blow-ups, reindeer, oversized fake presents, lanterns, and everything else. There’s no reason to hold back if it brings you joy!

When is the best time to start decorating?

 It’s hard to determine the “best” time to start decorating for the holidays – that’s a decision based on the time you have, the kind of display you want, and when you’re available to start the process.

The rule of thumb is to have them out in plenty of time to enjoy until the next holiday, but not so long that it becomes boring or tiresome. The average timeframe is some time between the end of November and the beginning of December, but your needs may be different than others!

Can I get some help from my local friendly professionals?

The short answer is yes, absolutely! If you have professionals such as Rish’s Complete Lawn Care that offer services like holiday yard setup, by all means, take advantage of it. We can help you decide the most efficient, easiest way to do your display and advise you on maintaining it.
