Christmas and Landscape Lighting Installation in Northwest Arkansas
Installed in the fall. Lit all season. Down in January.
You never touch a ladder, never untangle a strand, and never wonder who to call when a section goes dark in December. We put it up, keep it lit, take it down and store it until next year.
The Year the Christmas Lights Finally Get Done
The Lighting Master is a family-owned Christmas light and landscape lighting installation company based in Fayetteville, Arkansas, serving homeowners, businesses and HOAs throughout Washington and Benton counties in Northwest Arkansas. We look after around four hundred properties a season.
Most people who call us have been meaning to do this for two or three years. The lights are somewhere in the garage. The ladder is not really the problem, it is the Saturday it takes, the strand that half works, and the fact that whatever goes up has to come down again in January when it is cold and nobody wants to.
So we do the whole thing. One visit to design it, one price that covers the season, and a warehouse where it all lives for the eleven months you are not looking at it.
What We Install in Northwest Arkansas
Christmas Light Installation
Commercial grade C9 bulbs on your roofline, trees and entry, maintained through the season, then taken down in January and stored until next year.
Landscape Lighting
Path lighting, uplighting on mature trees and architectural lighting, designed on your property after dark. A system that works every night of the year.
Commercial, HOA and POA
Storefronts, office parks and whole communities under one written scope and one point of contact.
Repair and Takeover
Outdoor lighting that has stopped doing its job, no matter who installed it. Transformer faults, buried cable breaks, fixtures out of aim, most resolved in a single visit.
Three Steps, and Two of Them Are Ours
We come out to meet with you
David walks the property with you, checks which outlets are live and how they are switched, and reads the roofline properly. It is free, it takes about an hour, and it is the reason the quote is fixed rather than a guess.
We install it and look after it
Our own crew, commercial grade product, nothing glued to the house. Then we check your lights multiple times through the season, 25 to 40 properties a night through December, so most faults are found before you notice them.
We come back and take it down
In January, everything comes down. We test it, repair it and store it in our warehouse. Nothing goes back in your garage, and year two goes up faster because of it.
What Our Customers Say
Why It Matters Who Hangs Your Christmas Lights
There are somewhere between 100 and 120 lighting installers working in these two counties. In our experience about 70 percent have been in business 5 years or less. 3 or 4 have been at it more than 10.
That is worth knowing when you are comparing bids, because experience is the one thing a photograph cannot show you. Our own calendar closes when it fills, and it fills every year.
The other half of it is insurance. Work at height carries real exposure and a single fall claim runs into tens of thousands. A quote priced as though that risk does not exist has not removed it. It has moved it onto your homeowner policy.
What a Christmas Light Install Is Actually Like
You come home one evening and it is already done. Nobody needed to call to find the timer. On the coldest night of December a bulb goes out somewhere along the back roofline, and a truck has already been past and changed it.
In January it disappears as quietly as it arrived, and in February the house looks like nobody was ever on the roof.
The company is David Gretzmier, who started it, and his daughter Anna, who runs it day to day. You deal with David and Anna themselves, not a call center in another state. Between 92 and 95 percent of our customers renew each year, and fewer than 1 in 100 of the people who leave do so because they were unhappy with the experience.

Questions People Ask Before They Book
What does The Lighting Master do?
We design, install, maintain and store Christmas lighting, and we design and install landscape lighting that runs all year. Both are done by our own crews, for homes, businesses, HOAs and POAs across Washington and Benton counties. The business is family owned. David Gretzmier started it in 1982 and brought it to Northwest Arkansas in 1989.
Do you do both Christmas lighting and landscape lighting?
Yes, and a lot of properties end up with both. Christmas lighting is an annual program: up in the fall, kept lit through the season, down in January and stored in our building for the other eleven months. Landscape lighting is permanent, designed after dark standing on your property, and it runs every night of the year. They are quoted separately, and most people add the second one a year or two after the first.
Is it one price, or do the extras get billed later?
One price for the season. It covers the design visit, the lights and materials, the installation, every service call while the lights are up, the takedown in January and eleven months of storage. A bulb that fails in December is not a separate charge, and neither is the trip to come and fix it.
How far do you travel?
Most of the work is in Washington and Benton counties and that is where the crews run every day. For larger commercial and POA projects we do go further, into Oklahoma, southern Missouri and down toward Harrison. If you are outside the two counties it is worth calling and asking rather than assuming the answer is no.
When do you install, and when should I book?
Installs begin as early as August and run through December, and nothing is switched on until you want it on. August through October is when you get a choice of install week rather than whatever is left, and there is a reward for going early: an August or September install takes 15 percent off the season and October is 10 percent off. By the first week of December we are generally closed to new holiday work.
Stop Meaning to Do It
One visit, one price, and somebody else on the ladder. Washington and Benton counties, homes and businesses. Book an August or September install and you take 15 percent off the season. October is 10 percent off.
Tell us where the property is and roughly what you are picturing. We come out in person, walk it with you, and leave a fixed written quote. No charge and no obligation.
