When Should You Book Holiday Light Installation in Iowa?

McKenna D • October 1, 2025

As soon as fall rolls in, holiday light season isn’t far behind. But if you’ve ever waited until December to schedule your install, you know how fast spots fill up and how unpredictable Iowa weather can be!

Here’s why booking early is the key to a stress-free, sparkling season.



1. Book Early for the Best Spots

Our crews start scheduling as early as September and October. Once the frost hits and Thanksgiving nears, schedules fill up fast. Early bookings guarantee prime installation times and a longer season to enjoy your lights.


2. Beat the Weather

Midwest weather can change overnight. Once the ground freezes or snow piles up, installs get tougher (and slower). Aim to have your lights installed by early to mid-November for the best results and safest conditions.


3. Take Advantage of Early Deals

Many local companies, including ours, offer early-season or “Christmas in July” discounts for customers who plan ahead. You’ll save money and lock in your spot before winter chaos sets in.


4. Sit Back and Enjoy the Season

Booking early means you won’t be climbing a frozen ladder in December. You’ll have one less thing to worry about and can actually enjoy the holidays knowing your home will be glowing bright all season long.


When’s the Sweet Spot?

For Iowa homeowners, the best time to book is September through early November. The earlier you schedule, the better your odds of snagging your ideal date before weather and demand make it tricky.




At CD’s Lawn Care, we handle everything—custom design, professional installation, maintenance, and removal—so all you have to do is flip the switch and smile.
