Does holiday décor have an impact on holiday cheer?
Rachel: For sure. When I was a kid, my parents took us out to go look at the lights and grab hot chocolate. We made a whole event out of it. It was something fun to get us in the holiday spirit.
Mitch: Yes. Absolutely. As a child, I remember going to different parks that do a huge lighting display, walking through and seeing all the lights. It's something that I still do with my wife today.
What would you say to someone who is interested in the holiday lighting and installment that you offer but isn't sure how to get started?
Rachel: We offer free lawn evaluations and holiday estimates. We service both residential and commercial properties. We're supplied by The Christmas Décor Company and can do anything that is advertised on their website—light-up lawn ornaments, redecorated trees, wreaths, garlands, and more. Just give us a call. We'll come out, take a look, and assess what we can and can't do for your property. We customize the lights to fit each property so there are never any excess lights or cords lying around. We put it up, take it down, and store it for you. All you have to do is pick out what you want.
What sets your lighting apart from other lighting competitors?
Mitch: Our attention to detail. We've got people who are passionate about the job, who really enjoy it, and who go above and beyond to take our lighting to the next level.
What is the most rewarding part about what you do?
Mitch: The customer interactions. Helping a customer, whether it's landscape, holiday lighting, or whatever it may be, complete a project from start to finish.
Rachel: From the marketing end of things, it's been really rewarding to get people who are passionate about what they're doing and what they're working on. These are people's homes. It's something they're probably wanted for a long time; it's their dream. Helping them work toward that and being able to really help them is the most rewarding.
How do you decorate your homes for the holidays?
Rachel: My home decoration includes Christmas villages, lights, etc. My family goes all out.
Mitch: I'm in charge of exterior lights on the house. My wife is in charge of everything else.
Is there anything you're particularly excited about with Green Oasis this holiday season?
Mitch: It's growing very fast in a lot of different ways. It's exciting to take on different styles of jobs.
Rachel: During the pandemic, people were home a lot. They want to enjoy their homes and have something to brighten it up for them, brighten that whole dark patch that we went through. It's a natural fit to expand that section of our business more.
What makes the holiday season special to you?
Rachel: It's the one time of year that my entire family gets together. We have 50+ people gathered, so it really is a big event for my family. Getting that time together that we don't always have throughout the year is what I look forward to the most.
Mitch: For me, it's the downtime. I can take a breath, relax, spend time with family, and enjoy that.
What is the most popular request that you get from customers?
Mitch: Exterior home lighting: roof lights, trees, garland, wreaths, etc. Those are our core items.
Rachel: I've seen a lot of requests come in for the clean, white lighting look
