"Rick was on time for every appointment and did an excellent job. His 40+ years of experience in the Waynesville/Asheville area played a huge role in every plant and landscaping material choice he recommended (some I would have never thought of), and the final product was more than I could have ever imagined. He took into account some of the recommendations that we had, crafted them into a much better design, and talked us out of a few that would not have worked.

Ground To Crown Tree Care is a small, local,and friendly tree care company owned and operated by an International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist. Licensed and Insured.

"Anthony and Betty came out to check out what we needed done and we got a quote. I was impressed that Anthony wasn't going to take any more off the tree we needed trimmed than necessary. He suggested it might need cabling, but in the end, after he'd been up in the tree, said it didn't really need it and he didn't want to sell me something I didn't need. We did have one other large white pine taken down. It was something to watch the three guys in their well orchestrated routine. Anthony went up into the tree and sent branches down on a zipline-like system. Everything except the large trunk parts was mulched by their equipment before they left, even the branches that had fallen from trees at the edge of our woods that they were kind enough to take away unasked. We really appreciated that. They also pruned a tulip poplar. They were professional, prompt, polite and a pleasure to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and their services."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Arden, NC

If climbing ladders or handling wiring isn’t in your comfort zone, hire a pro. Look for installers who post clear per-foot or hourly rates, carry insurance, and have solid reviews. Comparing at least three quotes helps you spot fair pricing without sacrificing safety. Skipping credentials to save a few dollars can cost you far more in repairs, so pick a qualified team and enjoy a safe, eye-catching display.

Yes, booking between February and September often scores lower rates because demand is light and pros have open calendars. You might even negotiate a discount package that includes removal or storage. If the budget is tight, ask whether a handyperson or an off-season permanent-light install makes sense for your home and timeline.

Determining the number of holiday lights for your house depends on your home’s size and specific decorative vision. Your project requires 10 to 20 light strands for a basic exterior display, with 100 lights allocated for eaves and an additional 10 to 20 bulbs for each awning. 

For trees and substantial shrubs, allocate five to 10 strands per unit to achieve complete and balanced illumination across your property.

Tipping isn’t mandatory, but it’s a nice way to thank your installer for a job well done. Most homeowners offer 10% to 20% of the total bill or round up to an even figure if the crew exceeds expectations. A small extra goes a long way toward showing appreciation—and may help you snag priority booking next season.

Yes, you can install holiday lights yourself if your property layout is straightforward and your electrical system is secure. Homeowners who are confident in their ability to safely handle wiring and use proper equipment can save money with a DIY approach. 

However, it is crucial to test all outlets thoroughly and secure the proper ladders and safety gear before starting. Careful planning and adherence to safety guidelines are essential to protect yourself and your home while achieving an attractive display.

Start by clearing the area of loose debris, damaged shingles, and anything that could trip you up. Test outdoor outlets and, if you’re unsure, bring in an electrician. Use a sturdy extension ladder (or scaffolding for very high spots) and never work alone—having a helper steady the ladder is non-negotiable. Taking these simple steps keeps you, your roof, and your new lights safe.
