Holiday Lighting in Battle Ground, WA

Clearly Amazing designs, installs, maintains, takes down and stores holiday lighting for homes in Battle Ground, from our office on NE 146th Street in Vancouver. We use professional-grade LED lights in white or color, with the cord cut to length for your rooflines instead of store-bought strings stretched to fit. Battle Ground has its own holiday calendar, from the city’s tree lighting in early December to the neighborhood decorating contest, and winter weather that is hard on a light display.

Lit in time for the tree lighting

The City of Battle Ground’s Holiday Tree Lighting & Celebration is set for Friday, December 4, 2026, at the Battle Ground Event Center on East Main Street. It is the 37th year of the event. The tree is lit at 6:15 p.m., after Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive with Fire District 3. The city calls it the kick-off to the holiday season, and it makes a natural target date for having your own house lit.

The city’s Parks & Recreation department also runs the Battle of Lights, a holiday decorating contest with a public tour map of participating homes. Last season’s awards included a People’s Choice, a Mayor’s Choice and a Griswold Award. If you plan to enter, tell us at the design walk, since it usually changes how much we light beyond the roofline.

What a Battle Ground winter does to a light display

Rain. Battle Ground’s wettest month is usually December, at just under eight inches of rain, with November and January close behind. Every connection on a display spends weeks in that, which is why the product and the connections matter more than the bulbs.

East wind and ice. Through the winter, the wind here mostly blows from the east. In January 2024, east winds from the Columbia River Gorge brought freezing rain across Clark County, with more than 24,000 Clark Public Utilities customers losing power in the first weekend and trees down across the county. Nothing on a roofline is storm-proof, but firm attachment matters in an east wind, and loose strands are what usually fail first.

Snow. Battle Ground sees occasional snow in winter. Snow on a roofline usually isn’t a problem for well-attached lights. It is a good reason not to plan on climbing up yourself to fix a strand in January.

Early dark. On the shortest day of the year the sun sets around 4:25 p.m. That is a long evening of lights, and a good argument for putting them on a timer so they are on when you get home.

How the install works

Design walk. We walk the house in daylight, measure the rooflines, count the peaks, find the outdoor power, and show you options for the roof, trees, wreaths and garland. Much of Battle Ground’s housing went up in the late 1990s and 2000s, often with a strong Craftsman influence. Front gables and porch details on those houses are usually where a display looks best.

Install. Lights are cut to length for your rooflines so each run ends where the roof ends. Everything attaches with clips sized for the edge they sit on, whether a gutter lip or a shingle edge, rather than fasteners driven into the house. North of town toward Lewisville Park, where Douglas-fir and bigleaf maple grow tall, some yards have trees that are better lit from the ground than wrapped, and we will tell you which.

Keep it lit. If a strand or a section goes dark during the season, call us and we come back out to it. In this weather the weak points are the connections and clips after a storm, not the lights, and they are quick to put right.

Take down and store. Once the season is over, we take the display down, package it and store it, so it isn’t taking up your garage for eleven months.

Areas we cover in Battle Ground

We install holiday lighting across Battle Ground, including The Cedars, Meadow Glade, Parkside Airpark, Tukes Mountain Estates, Quail Reserve, Parkway Heights, Falcon Chase, Lone Oak Estates and homes around downtown Main Street.

Meadow Glade is worth a note. It is more rural than the subdivisions in town, with a wider mix of home ages, so a design there may include a long driveway, a fence line or a big tree rather than just the roofline.

When to schedule in Battle Ground

Book in September or October, install in October or early November. That gets you drier working weather before the November rain peaks, first pick of install dates, and lights ready well ahead of the tree lighting on December 4. You don’t have to turn them on early. You can have the install done in October and leave everything dark until Thanksgiving week.

Later bookings are completely normal, and we install through the season. People call in late November and December because family plans came together, because the neighbors lit up and they want to join in, or because they just decided this is the year. Dates do fill, so the sooner you’re on the schedule the more choice you have about the day.

Useful things to know when you call: roughly how tall the house is, where your outdoor outlets are, and what you want lit besides the roofline.
