Beyond the Roofline: Outdoor Holiday Lighting Ideas for a Standout Yard
August 11, 2025

When people think of holiday lighting, they usually picture a neatly lit roofline.
But why stop there?

Your entire yard is a blank canvas, and with the right outdoor holiday lighting strategy, you can create a display that turns heads, spreads joy, and makes your home the talk of the neighborhood.

At On Point Holiday Lighting, we help DFW homeowners light up more than just rooftops. Here’s how we take outdoor décor to the next level.

1. Illuminate the Landscape

Don’t let your beautiful lawn, trees, and shrubs go unnoticed.
With strategically placed lights, we highlight your landscaping with:

  • Mini lights for bushes and hedges
  • Wrapped tree trunks and branches
  • Ground stakes along flower beds
  • Accent lighting for garden features or statues

Even subtle lighting can make a huge impact on your curb appeal.

2. Line the Pathways

Pathway lighting serves double duty—it’s decorative and practical.
We install:

  • Candy cane lights
  • LED stake lights
  • Classic white outlines
  • Colorful ground-level glow

This not only brightens your walkway but also makes your home feel more inviting for guests.

3. Frame Your Windows and Doors

Windows and entryways are prime spaces to add depth and charm.
We use:

  • Mini light borders
  • Pre-lit garlands and wreaths
  • Lighted ornaments or window silhouettes

Framing these features makes your home look polished from every angle.

4. Add Holiday Flair to Fences and Railings

Fences, gates, and porch railings are often overlooked.
Let us wrap them with:

  • Warm white string lights
  • Color-changing patterns
  • Pre-lit greenery or custom accents

It’s all about layering your space and spreading the glow throughout your entire lot.

5. Bring Focus to the Yard’s Centerpiece

Have a favorite tree, statue, or fountain?
Let’s make it the star of your holiday display.
We use uplighting, color filters, and creative positioning to spotlight what makes your yard unique.

You don’t have to limit your lights to the roof. With a bit of planning and a lot of creativity, your entire yard can sparkle this holiday season.
