Every year the same scene plays out: a tangle of knotted strands on your garage floor, a wobbly ladder, and a perfectly good Saturday gone before the first bulb even lights up. Great Scapes Landscaping & Lighting takes that whole headache off your plate with holiday lighting for homes and businesses across Fort Myers, FL, and the surrounding areas. We design it, hang it, keep it shining all season, and circle back to take it down, so your only job is to pour the cocoa and enjoy the glow.
Great Scapes Landscaping & Lighting is a local landscape lighting designer headquartered in Fort Myers, FL. We create custom holiday displays and handle holiday lighting installation from start to finish, lighting up rooflines, trees, shrubs, walkways, and full landscapes for residential and commercial properties. Our crew manages every piece in-house, including design, installation, in-season support, and takedown, so you deal with the same friendly crew throughout and never get passed off to someone else.

We hear the same story every December. You set aside a Saturday, drag the bins out of the garage, and spend half the day untangling strands and balancing on a ladder, only to find a whole section won't light up once you've got it hung.
A lot of it comes down to gear that was never made to last. Big-box light sets burn out fast, the clips slip off in the wind, and tossing everything in a box come January means half the strands are dead by next year. Add a wobbly ladder and a steep roofline, and a fun tradition turns into a real chore nobody looks forward to.
We take the whole thing off your hands from start to finish. Our crew designs a display for your home, hangs commercial-grade LED lights with damage-free methods and hidden wiring, sets the timers, and stays on call all season if a bulb or storm gives you trouble. When the holidays wrap, we come back to take it all down and store it neatly for next year.
The payoff is a home that looks incredible while you skip all the hassle. No ladder, no tangles, no dead strands, just a display that clicks on at dusk and runs flawlessly through New Year's, ready to go again the moment next season rolls around.
Here's a closer look at everything we handle to make your season bright and completely hassle-free.

No two homes light up the same way, so we start by designing a display tailored to your property and the look you're going for. Whether you love a classic warm-white glow or a bold, colorful theme, our team maps it out before a single strand goes up. As a full-service holiday lighting company, we tailor the whole plan to your home or business.
Hanging lights safely takes the right gear and a lot of patience, which is exactly what we bring to every job. Our crew uses damage-free methods, tucks the wiring out of sight, and mounts everything cleanly across rooflines, trees, and shrubs. Once the season wraps, we return to take down and tuck your outdoor holiday lighting into organized, labeled storage for next year.
Energy-friendly bulbs mean you can keep your display lit all evening without dreading the power bill. Our LED holiday lighting runs cool, sips electricity, and stays bright from Thanksgiving through New Year's. Thanks to advanced LED holiday lighting, the colors stay rich, and the strands hold up beautifully all season long.
Things happen during a long season, from a storm rolling through to a single stubborn bulb calling it quits. We schedule installs early, build everything to handle Florida's wild weather, and stay on call for in-season fixes whenever you need us. A quick message gets our team back out to keep your Christmas holiday lights looking their best.
Setting your display on a schedule means it lights up automatically every night like clockwork. We wire in automated timers and smart controls so you never fumble with an outdoor outlet in the cold. Your lights click on at dusk, switch off at bedtime, and run the whole season without you lifting a finger.
After dark, the right lighting can help your favorite outdoor areas feel warmer, safer, and easier to enjoy. Our landscape lighting services are designed around your home's layout, from walkways and patios to pool areas, garden beds, fountains, balconies, columns, decks, and the little details worth showing off.
Year-round lighting is a great fit when you want your property ready for everyday use, holidays, events, and color changes without the seasonal setup hassle. Our permanent lighting options include roofline, dock, smart exterior, outdoor LED, color-changing, and architectural lighting for residential and commercial spaces.
The right pavers can make a driveway, walkway, pool deck, or backyard hangout feel more finished and easier to use. Our paver installation work can include patios, driveways, pathways, pool decks, fire pit areas, seating spaces, commercial pavers, brick, concrete, natural stone, repairs, replacements, sealing, drainage prep, grading, and custom patterns.
A lanai should feel calm and usable at night, with enough light to move around comfortably and still enjoy the view through the screens. Our lanai lighting uses discreet Nebula or cap-style fixtures on pool cage beams to create a soft downward glow around pool decks, steps, walkways, and screened spaces with corrosion-resistant materials suited for Florida weather.
Getting the layout right before installation helps plants, lighting, hardscapes, and outdoor features work together rather than feel random. Our landscape design services can include designer-led planning, 2D and 3D render videos, revisions, plant selections, hedge removal, botanical updates, and more.
Sometimes a landscape needs more than a small refresh to feel pulled together again. Our landscape installation services include rehabs, remodels, remulching, re-rocking, plant updates, full design and reinstallation projects, and outdoor improvements that help the property feel clean, updated, and ready to enjoy.
A sprinkler system that overdoes one zone and forgets another can make the whole yard struggle. Our irrigation repair services include troubleshooting, inspections, sprinkler system repairs, drainage correction, oversaturation fixes, emergency repairs, and residential or commercial irrigation system repairs.
Plenty of reasons bring people across Southwest Florida our way for the holidays, and here's what really stands out.
Estimates and consultations are free, and you can request a lighting demo to see the magic in person before committing.
Qualifying landscape installations carry a one-year plant warranty so your greenery has time to settle in, and our holiday lighting includes 24/7 seasonal support whenever a quick fix is needed.
Family-owned and based right here, we put our name behind every display and treat each customer like a neighbor long after the holiday lights come down.
Our displays run on S4 Lights, a commercial-grade lighting and décor company known for high-performance LED systems built for holidays, special events, and year-round architectural displays.
Scheduling holiday lighting early—between September and October—gives you more time to choose a design, plan the roofline, and set up trees, shrubs, walkways, and landscape accents before the busy season hits. In Fort Myers, FL, many homeowners and businesses start planning weeks before the holidays so their displays go up on time.
Professional holiday lighting can include custom design, LED Christmas lighting systems, roofline lights, tree and shrub lighting, walkway accents, timers, smart controls, installation, in-season support, takedown, and storage options. A good setup also uses clean wire management and secure mounting so the display looks festive without messy cords taking over the yard.
A professional holiday lighting company can inspect the issue, replace bulbs, adjust timers, and fix sections of the display that stop working. That support helps homes and businesses keep outdoor holiday lighting bright and ready through weather changes, busy weekends, and holiday gatherings.
Holiday lighting usually goes up for a season and comes down after the celebration, while permanent lighting remains installed year-round and changes colors or themes as needed. Both options can create a great look, but the better fit depends on how often you want to use lighting for holidays, events, and everyday nights.
Professional holiday lighting helps avoid ladder work, tangled cords, uneven rooflines, and displays that struggle with wind or rain. In Florida, an experienced installer can design a cleaner setup for rooflines, trees, shrubs, walkways, and landscaped areas, using outdoor-rated products suited to the seasonal weather.
