One Program, Three Kinds of Property
Carrollton's mix of freeway, downtown and neighborhood sites shapes every agreement.
01
Association common areas
Entry monuments, medians, amenity buildings and the trees around them. A board approves one design map that covers every shared space it maintains. Homes stay outside the plan.
04
Custom-cut leased LED
Commercial-grade LED lighting is measured to your property and stays ours. You never buy, test or store strands between seasons. When the season ends it returns to our storage until the next install.
02
Dealerships on the freeway
Lots along I-35E get bold roofline outlines, lit showroom glass and big décor near the entrance, with runs routed to keep inventory and service lanes clear.
05
Service calls in season
Our office is close by in northwest Dallas. When a run goes out, call during business hours and a crew is scheduled to repair it.
03
Storefronts near the square
Older buildings near the square suit warm white lines, wrapped street trees and garland at doors, sized for people walking past rather than cars. Installs finish before Santa on the Square.
06
Takedown and storage
After the holidays we remove everything, pack it by site and store it, so the next installation starts from your saved design. Nothing is left for your staff to handle.
HOA Entrances Across Carrollton
Carrollton's associations range from newer master-planned neighborhoods to established subdivisions with a single monument. Austin Waters, a 78-acre community near the Plano Parkway corridor with gardens, green spaces and water features, shows how much common area a board may manage.
We light what the association owns: entry walls, medians, amenity rooflines and framing trees. Outlined monuments and wrapped trees keep every entrance consistent, so residents see one finished look from the main gate to the back entry.

The Carrollton Process
01
Walk the site
We start at your property, measure what will be lit, check power and note how people approach from the street or the freeway.
02
Approve the design
You receive a written proposal and design map, timed so a board can review it before its fall budget meeting.
03
Install around hours
Crews work around dealership hours, store openings and resident traffic, testing every circuit before leaving the site. Nothing blocks traffic.
04
Service in season
If something fails, one call to our Goodnight Lane office gets a crew scheduled to repair it. Repairs are part of the service.
05
Remove and store
Early in the new year we take it all down and store it until your next installation. Your design is saved for next season.
Carrollton Districts and Communities
Carrollton spreads across three counties and several highways. These are the areas where we most often light.
Historic Downtown Carrollton
The square hosts Santa on the Square and a tree lighting each December. Shops and restaurants around it suit warm white rooflines, wreaths on doors and wrapped trees that match the historic buildings and the crowds that gather on foot.
Old Denton Road and Koreatown
Retail centers along Old Denton Road and near the President George Bush Turnpike draw evening diners and shoppers. Lit storefront lines, framed signs and wrapped parking-island trees keep a center visible and inviting after dark. Tenants can share one design and one install date.
Austin Waters and Mustang Park
Two of the association communities we serve in Carrollton. Their entries, medians and amenity areas belong to the HOA, and that is exactly where our lighting goes. Individual homes inside the neighborhoods stay outside the scope. Boards get one map for every shared space.
Trinity Mills Station
A transit district taking shape around the rail station, with new mixed-use buildings and street-level storefronts. Pedestrian-scale lighting at entries and plazas helps new tenants feel established in their very first holiday season. Plazas can add a commercial Christmas tree as a meeting point.
I-35E dealership frontage
Dealerships along parts of Interstate 35E are seen at freeway speed. Clean building outlines, lit showroom fronts and oversized ornaments or a tall commercial tree near the entrance read clearly from the main lanes and the frontage road. Lot rows stay open.
Dealerships That Need the Lot Open
A dealership cannot close the lot for a lighting crew. We schedule Carrollton installs around sales and service hours and route every run so inventory rows, the service drive and customer parking stay clear.
The design centers on what drivers see from I-35E: the showroom roofline, the main entrance and one or two large décor pieces. Dealer groups with several stores across Dallas-Fort Worth can bundle locations into one agreement with one contact.

What Goes Into a Carrollton Quote
The quote follows the property, so we measure these details on every site walk.
Entrances and medians
Associations with several entrances or long landscaped medians need more product and labor than a single monument. Each entrance is mapped separately in the proposal.
Tree wraps
Wrapped trees are priced by height and canopy size. Mature median and entry trees take longer than young plantings and are measured individually. Each one is measured on the walk.
Freeway-scale décor
Oversized ornaments and tall commercial trees cost more than strands but carry from the road. We recommend them only where they will actually be seen.
Number of sites
Owners and dealer groups with multiple Carrollton or DFW locations can combine them to simplify scheduling, billing and contact. Each site still keeps its own design map and install date.
Building height and access
Two-story storefronts near the square or tall showrooms may need a lift. Tight downtown parking can also limit when a crew can set up safely.

Carrollton Christmas Lighting FAQs
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
Do you install Christmas lights on homes in Carrollton?
–
Yes. We install Christmas lights on homes across Carrollton: see residential Christmas light installation in Carrollton for neighborhoods, timing and what is included. We also light HOA common areas, dealerships, commercial properties and city sites. Your association can still light its entrances, medians and amenity buildings with us.
How close are you to Carrollton?
–
Our shop is at 11593 Goodnight Lane in northwest Dallas, a short drive from Carrollton. Being nearby makes it easy to schedule site walks, installs and service calls throughout the season. Carrollton is one of the closest cities we serve, and crews often pass through on the way to other jobs.
Can you light a business near the downtown square?
–
Yes. Shops, restaurants and offices near Historic Downtown Carrollton are a good fit for warm white rooflines, wreaths and wrapped trees. We schedule installation before Santa on the Square so your property is lit for the crowd. Installs avoid busy weekend hours.
Do you work with dealerships on I-35E?
–
Yes. Dealerships are a priority for us. We design for freeway visibility, install around sales and service hours, and keep the lot fully open. Dealer groups can include several stores in one agreement. Showroom glass can be framed to highlight the newest models.
What does an HOA board receive?
–
A written proposal with a design map showing every lit element, a certificate of insurance for your management company, a scheduled install date, in-season maintenance, removal after the holidays and storage until next year. The board deals with one contact all season.
Do we buy the lighting?
–
No. All product is leased. We supply commercial-grade LED lighting cut to fit your property, install it, maintain it, take it down and store it. Your association or business pays for a seasonal service, not equipment. It stays one simple budget line.
When should we start?
–
Late summer for a site walk and early fall for approval. Many Carrollton boards set budgets in the fall, so we time the proposal to arrive before that meeting and leave plenty of install dates open. Earlier is better for multi-entrance plans.
Can you light water features at an HOA entrance?
–
Often, yes. We can outline bridges, railings and nearby trees around ponds and fountains. Wiring is planned carefully during the site walk so every run stays safe around water and landscaping. Communities like Austin Waters, with water features and gardens, often choose this to give residents a lit focal point.
Who do we call if lights go out?
–
Call our office at 972-620-9560, Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm. Tell us which entrance or building is affected and we schedule a crew to repair it. In-season service is included in every agreement, so there is no separate charge for a standard repair visit.
