One company, start to finish
A well-lit downtown gives people a reason to come out after dark in the coldest weeks of the year. We work with downtown development authorities, city staff and business associations to plan lighting block by block, from wrapped street trees and lamppost decor to the centerpiece tree for the tree lighting. Bucket-truck crews install around traffic and parking, we service the display through the season, and we take it all down afterward.
Your estimate can include
- Street tree trunk and canopy wraps
- Pole and lamppost decor
- Centerpiece and plaza trees
- Building outlines on civic and historic buildings
- Bistro string lighting over walkways and patios
- In-season service
- Removal after the season

What we plan for
- 01
A plan the whole district can follow
Downtown lighting has many stakeholders. We lay out the design in terms everyone can follow: which blocks, which trees, which poles and what it takes to power them.
- 02
Work around traffic and events
Street work is scheduled around parking, events and business hours, with lift work planned to keep sidewalks and lanes as open as possible.
- 03
One contact all season
Installation, in-season service and removal come from one company, so city staff have one call to make when something needs attention.
Our own work
How it works
Five steps, one company, the whole season covered. Here is what happens after you ask for a free estimate.
Tell us what you picture
Call or send a request with your address and what you want lit. Photos and ideas help, but a rough idea is plenty to start.
Walkthrough and design
We look at the property, the power and the access, then plan a layout. Commercial projects start with a site walkthrough and a concept design.
Your free estimate
You get an estimate that spells out what gets lit and what is included. Nothing moves forward until it makes sense to you.
Installation
Crews work from the ground, the roof and the bucket truck, check connections as they go and test the display before they leave.
In-season service and takedown
If something goes dark, call us and we get it on the schedule. After the holidays, we take everything down and leave the property tidy.
Before you book
All holiday lighting questions Guide 4 min readPlanning commercial holiday lighting: a practical guideRead the guideWhen should a downtown start planning holiday lighting?
Well before fall. Budgets, approvals and board meetings take time, and lighting is usually expected to be up for a tree lighting or holiday event. Starting in summer or early fall gives the most flexibility. A later start is still worth a call, and we will tell you what can be done this season.
Can you work with our DDA or city staff?
Yes. We can walk the district with your team, answer questions from a board or committee and put the plan in writing for approval.
Do you service the lights during the season?
Yes. In-season service is part of the plan. If a section goes dark, one call to us gets it on the schedule.
