About
Run by Angel Rubio, out of Laguna Hills
Forever Young Lighting is not a franchise and not a call center. It is a local crew, and the person who quotes your house is the person responsible for it.

Angel Rubio, 2022: the first season.
How did a landscape company end up hanging Christmas lights?
Angel already ran Forever Young Landscape, doing outdoor work across South Orange County: hardscape, planting, irrigation, the kind of jobs that put a crew on a property for days. Landscape work slows down in winter. Christmas lights are the opposite: they are all winter.
So in 2022 he hung lights on a handful of homes, made a sign by hand, and found out the work suited the crew almost exactly. It is ladders, layout, measuring, and finishing something so it looks right from the street. That is the same job.
He has run the lighting side every season since. It is now its own brand, with its own name, but it is the same people, the same trucks and the same standard of work.
Why does the landscape company matter to you?
Because a Christmas lighting business that started this year has nothing you can check. This one does.
Forever Young Landscape has a public record on Thumbtack: 4.7 out of 5 across 88 reviews, Top Pro 2022–2025, and Best of Houzz 2023. That is a different company name from the one on this site, and we will not pretend otherwise. It is the same owner, the same crew, and the same way of handling people.
We would rather point you at a real rating on a different brand than invent one on this one. The three quotes below are from lighting clients, in their words; you will not find a star count next to them, because there is no lighting rating yet to show.
Forever Young Landscape, the sister brand.
Forever Young Lighting did an amazing job on our home! They showed up on time, were professional, and the lights look incredible. Best decision we made this holiday season.
Super easy to work with and very responsive. When one section stopped working, they came out the next day to fix it. Great service!
We love not having to deal with ladders and tangled lights anymore. The team handled everything perfectly. Our neighbors are all asking who did our lights!
How does a job actually go?
Start to finish, this is the whole thing.
- You text or fill in the form. Name and mobile number is enough to start. Two photos of the front of the house is better, because it lets us quote without coming out.
- We come back with a design and a price. What we would light, in what colors, and one number. Usually the same day. No deposit to get this far, and no pressure after it.
- You pick a date. Installs run early October to Christmas. We book in the order people say yes, so an early yes buys you a better date.
- We install. Most homes are one visit. We bring the strands, the timers, the cords and the clips. Nothing gets nailed or stapled to the house. We set the timer before we leave and turn it on with you there.
- We keep it working. A bulb goes out, a section goes dark, the timer drifts. Text us and we come back out. It is in the price, on the lights we supply.
- We take it down in January. Everything comes off and comes back with us. Nothing goes into your garage.
- Next year is one text. We already know your house, your layout and your colors.
What we will not do
A short list, because it says more than a list of promises.
- We will not staple or nail lights to your house. Clips only, every time, even when it takes longer.
- We will not work on a wet or unsafe roof. If the weather is wrong, we move your date rather than risk it.
- We will not take a job we cannot do properly. If the calendar is full in your week, we will say so instead of squeezing you in badly.
- We will not invent proof. No made-up ratings, no borrowed photos, no "hundreds of happy customers" for a company that has been lighting houses since 2022.
Where do we work?
Every city in Orange County, plus Ladera Ranch, which is its own unincorporated community rather than a city.
We are based in Laguna Hills. The south county cities are the short drives and the north county ones are the long ones, but maintenance is part of both packages either way: if a bulb goes out in December we come back out for it.

Name and phone is enough to start. City and stories make the number tighter. Most quotes come back the same day.
