We Decorate.
You Celebrate.
A product engineer obsessed with design. A wife who can fix anything. Four kids, two dogs, and a home that makes the whole street slow down. We turned a family obsession into a business.
The Family Behind
the Brand
We're the couple that surprises everyone. Jason is a product engineer by trade — but he's the one who picked out every finish, fixture, and piece of furniture in their home. His wife is a speech pathologist and stay-at-home mom — but she's the one who completely revamped their powder room and fixes anything that breaks. Between the two of them, no project stands a chance.
It started the way most businesses should — people kept asking for help. Friends calling for product recommendations. Family wanting opinions on paint colors, furniture layouts, and curb appeal. Neighbors slowing down to look at the seasonal displays that got more ambitious every year. At some point, “you should do this for a living” stopped sounding like a compliment and started sounding like a business plan.
Arbor & Ember is that plan — and it's growing fast. What started at our own doorstep now reaches homes, businesses, and communities across DFW, backed by a team that shares our obsessive eye for design — the kind of standard that makes people slow down when they pass your house. Design, materials, installation, maintenance, removal — we handle all of it. You just enjoy the compliments.

Friends and family start calling for design advice, product recs, and home project opinions. "You researched it already, right?" becomes a running joke
Design a home that draws compliments from every visitor — exterior, interior, furniture, all of it. Neighbors start calling it "Instagram-worthy"
After years of going all-out on seasonal decor and helping everyone we know — why not make it official?
Arbor & Ember launches. The name says it all — arbor for the natural beauty we build, ember for the warm glow we create. Full-service seasonal and celebration decor for homes across DFW.
Built on Values, Driven by Joy
Design-First
Every display is intentionally designed — not just assembled. We approach each project with the eye of a designer and the care of a craftsperson.
Reliable & Professional
On-time arrivals, clean installations, and consistent communication. We treat your property and your time with the respect they deserve.
Community-Driven
We live and work in DFW. Our team takes pride in making our neighborhoods more beautiful, one front yard at a time.
Full-Service Simplicity
Design, deliver, install, maintain, remove — we handle every step. You never have to climb a ladder, store a box, or coordinate a thing.
We Sell a Look — Not Stuff
Our competitors sell decorations. We sell a feeling — the moment you pull into your driveway and feel proud. Everyone knows it's Arbor & Ember when they see our setups.

Premium & Curated. Never Chaotic.
We offer a beautiful, neutral, elevated setup — not a chaotic rainbow explosion. Think fewer items, larger impact pieces, cohesive palettes, and intentional symmetry. Every display is designed to complement your home, not compete with it.
This isn't a limitation — it's a deliberate choice. It's the difference between a $200 commodity service and a premium brand that families are proud to have in their front yard.

Family-Founded. Team-Powered.
Arbor & Ember was born from a family — but we're building something bigger. Jason and Amanda set the standard for design and quality, and every person who joins our team is trained to deliver that same level of care. A growing crew of people who genuinely care about making your home look incredible.
Jason leads design and operations with the same obsessive detail he brought to building products used by millions of people. Every display is intentional — curated palettes, balanced compositions, pieces that complement your home instead of competing with it. Our installation team is trained, insured, and held to the same hands-on standards we set for our own property.
Let's Make Your Home Unforgettable
Whether it's a holiday display, a celebration surprise, or a year-round seasonal program — we'd love to help you make it happen.
