Forget the Tangles: Why a Professional Is Your Brightest Choice for Holiday Lights in Detroit Lakes

The holiday season in the Detroit Lakes area is a magical time, but with it comes the long, dark winter nights. Bright, colorful holiday lights are the perfect way to bring warmth and cheer to your home or business.

But for many, the process of decorating is anything but cheerful. It often involves digging through tangled messes of old lights, finding half the bulbs are burnt out, and worst of all, spending hours balancing precariously on a high, wobbly ladder in the cold.

What if you could have a stunning, magazine-worthy display without any of the hassle, headaches, or high ladders? Here’s why more and more people are turning to a professional for their holiday lighting.


Get a Stunning, Custom Look

Have you ever noticed how professional lighting displays look so... clean? The secret is in the fit.

Unlike the one-size-fits-all light strands you buy from a big-box store, our holiday lights are custom-cut to fit YOUR house perfectly. This means you’ll never have those messy-looking short strands that don't quite reach the corner or long, doubled-back strands bunched up at the end of a roofline. The result is a crisp, clean, and stunning holiday scene.

A professional service also means a professional design. You can choose from a wide variety of light bulb colors and even add complementary decor, like lit or non-lit wreaths, to create a complete look for your buildings, bushes, and trees.


Safety First: Stay Off the Ladder

Safer, Cleaner, Smarter: The Commercial Advantage of Broomed Sidewalks

For commercial property managers and business owners, winter isn't just about snow; it's about managing risk, ensuring accessibility, and maintaining business continuity. While any snow removal service can clear a path, the quality of that clearing makes all the difference. A pass with a snow blower or shovel often leaves behind a compacted layer of snow—a hidden liability waiting to happen.

At Miller Yard Care, we address this problem head-on. After the bulk of the snow is moved, we use specialized power brooms to sweep your sidewalks clean down to the pavement. This isn't an upsell; it's our standard for delivering a truly safe and professional result.

Here's the commercial advantage of a thoroughly broomed sidewalk.


1. Mitigate Risk & Enhance Safety Liability

The thin, slick layer of snow left behind by a snow blower or shovel is the number one cause of refreezing and dangerous black ice. Brooming removes this layer entirely.

  • For your business, this means: A drastic reduction in the conditions that lead to slip-and-fall incidents, a major source of liability claims for commercial properties. A visibly safer surface gives your employees, customers, and tenants the confidence to navigate your property safely.

2. Ensure Business Accessibility & Professionalism

First impressions matter. A sidewalk cleared down to the bare pavement looks professional and well-maintained. It signals that you prioritize safety...
