Getting Your Elk Grove Home Ready for Halloween

Halloween is right around the corner, and in Elk Grove, CA, families are already planning decorations, candy, and spooky fun. But before the trick-or-treaters arrive, it’s smart to make sure your home is safe, welcoming, and ready for the season. Here are a few small jobs you can tackle now:

Secure Loose Railings & Steps

Kids (and adults) will be walking up your porch or driveway in the dark. Tightening handrails and repairing loose steps makes sure no one trips on their way to candy.

Check Outdoor Lighting

From Laguna Creek to Pocket-Greenhaven, shorter evenings mean outdoor lights are key. Replace burnt-out bulbs and add motion or pathway lights to keep walkways safe and festive.

Prep Your Yard for Decorations

Hanging cobwebs or inflatables? Make sure fences and posts are sturdy enough to hold them. A quick fix today prevents decorations from falling mid-season.

Clear Walkways

Leaves, branches, or garden tools left out can be easy trip hazards. Clearing your walkway not only keeps things safe — it makes your decorations stand out.
