Hiring a company to handle holiday lighting is growing in popularity thanks to the convenience and safety it provides. Most companies supply the lights, installation, maintenance, takedown, and storage—often with add-ons like wreaths or yard displays. Essentially, you’re leasing their products and services, which means less stress and more time with family. Many landscaping businesses now offer lighting during their slower season, and they can book up before Halloween. When comparing options, be sure to ask about minimums, availability, contracts, and insurance. Below are some St. Louis companies to get you started.

Each year, more than 160,000 people in the U.S. are treated for ladder-related injuries, many of which happen while decorating or cleaning outside their homes .To avoid ladder injuries, it’s crucial to follow basic safety precautions. Begin by choosing the right ladder for the job—ensure it’s tall enough to reach your work area without overreaching or standing on the top rung. Always place the ladder on a stable, level surface and secure it to prevent tipping or slipping. Use the “three points of contact” rule: always keep two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand, in contact with the ladder at all times. Avoid using a ladder in adverse weather conditions, such as high winds or rain, which can make surfaces slippery. Lastly, never use a ladder when feeling tired or dizzy, and make sure someone else is nearby in case of an emergency.
