Holiday Lights and Tree Safety:

🌳 A Guide for Winnipeg Homeowners

 Decorating your trees with holiday lights brings festive cheer to your yard — but it can also pose risks if done improperly. From broken branches to fire hazards, it’s important to light up safely.

Key Safety Tips:

• 💡 Use LED lights designed for outdoor use
  They’re cooler, more energy-efficient, and reduce fire risk.

• 🌲 Avoid wrapping tightly around branches
  This can restrict growth and cause breakage, especially in freezing temps.

• 🔌 Inspect cords for damage before installation
  Frayed wires or cracked plugs can lead to electrical hazards.

• ❄️ Don’t overload circuits or extension cords
  Spread out your lighting and use grounded outlets.

• 🧤 Install lights gently and avoid climbing trees
  Use ladders safely and never staple lights directly into bark.

Conclusion:
Holiday lights should enhance your landscape — not damage it. If you're unsure about tree safety or need help prepping your yard, TreeSolve is here to help. Let’s keep your trees healthy and your holidays bright.
