What Cedar Hill Clients Get
Each agreement covers design through storage, with no equipment to buy.
01
Designs drawn for the grade
Entrances on a slope look different from the road than from the curb. We check sight lines during the site walk and light what drivers actually see first.
04
Commercial-grade LED on lease
The lighting is cut to your property, installed by our crew and returned to us after the season, so the association never stores or replaces it.
02
Stone monuments highlighted
Many Cedar Hill communities have stone entry walls. We outline and accent them so the stonework stays the focal point instead of disappearing behind strands.
05
Service through the season
Wind on open hillsides can loosen a run. Call our office and a crew is scheduled to restore the display during the holidays. Clips are chosen for exposed sites.
03
Gatehouse and clubhouse lighting
Gated communities can add the gatehouse roofline, entry columns and clubhouse or pool building to the same proposal and design map. It all goes on one design map.
06
Removal in the new year
After the holidays the crew removes the display, packs it by site and stores it until your next installation. Your saved design makes next year's install faster.
Lighting a City Built on Hills
Cedar Hill sits on the high ground of southwest Dallas County, near Joe Pool Lake and Cedar Hill State Park. Its large park system, nature preserves and greenbelts give the city more trees and more elevation change than most of its southern Dallas County neighbors.
That changes how a display is designed. An entrance on a rise is seen from far away, while one tucked below the road needs lighting angled upward. We plan for both on the design map.

Our Cedar Hill Steps
01
Walk the sight lines
We measure the property and drive the approach roads to see the entrance or building the way residents and customers do.
02
Written design map
Your proposal shows every lit element on a map, so a board or manager can approve it at one meeting.
03
Insurance and scheduling
We send a certificate of insurance to your association manager or landlord and confirm install dates. Gate staff are told when to expect us.
04
Install and maintain
Crews install around business hours, test every run and return for service calls during the season. Nothing is left half done.
05
Takedown and storage
After the holidays we remove the display and store it until it is time to install again. Your saved design speeds up next year.
Cedar Hill Communities and Centers
These are the parts of Cedar Hill where our holiday lighting does the most work.
Lake Ridge
This large community near Joe Pool Lake has rolling terrain and long entry drives. Lighting the stone monuments, gate areas and the trees along the approach gives residents a welcome that is visible well before they reach the entrance itself.
High Pointe and Bear Creek Ranch
Association-managed communities with entry monuments and shared landscaping. We light the walls, signs and framing trees, keeping every element on common property and planning around the grade where entrances sit above or below the road. Homes inside stay out of scope.
Historic Downtown Cedar Hill
Early twentieth-century buildings anchor the city's downtown and its Holiday on the Hill tree lighting. Warm white rooflines and wreaths fit the scale and age of the storefronts better than bright, busy displays. Installs finish before the tree lighting so shops are lit for the crowd.
Cresthaven Village
A gated 55-plus community where the gatehouse and entry are the first thing residents and visitors see. Warm, steady lighting on the gate structure and columns creates a calm, finished look that suits the community's character. We coordinate every visit with the gate staff in advance.
Hillside Village
The open-air shopping center at Highway 67 and FM 1382 draws shoppers through the holiday weeks. Wrapped trees, garland at storefronts and a commercial Christmas tree in a gathering area suit its outdoor, walkable layout. Tenants can share one design and install date.
Get Lit Before Holiday on the Hill
Holiday on the Hill brings residents downtown for the city tree lighting in early December. Businesses near the celebration benefit from being lit that night, and HOAs like to have entrances finished before the season's visits begin.
Approving a design by early fall gives us room to install ahead of the event. Boards that meet in late summer can review the design map then and vote at the next meeting.

Factors in a Cedar Hill Proposal
Terrain and trees play a bigger role here than in most cities, so we price from the site walk.
Grade and access
Sloped entrances and hillside rooflines can require extra equipment or set-up time. We note access issues on the site walk and build them into the quote.
Commercial décor
Shopping centers may add commercial Christmas trees, oversized ornaments, wreaths and garland, priced by size and quantity apart from the lighting. Pick the mix that suits you.
Approach trees
Communities with long tree-lined drives often light several trees in a row. Each tree is measured for height and canopy so product is cut to fit.
Power availability
Entrances far from outlets may limit how many runs can be lit. We plan the design around the power you already have. Timers are placed for easy access.
Gatehouses and amenities
Adding a gatehouse, clubhouse or pool building expands the scope. These can be included now or phased in over later seasons. We price each one separately.

Cedar Hill Lighting FAQs
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
Do you light houses in Cedar Hill?
–
Yes. We install Christmas lights on homes across Cedar Hill: see residential Christmas light installation in Cedar Hill for neighborhoods, timing and what is included. We also light HOA and gated community common areas, shopping centers, downtown businesses, dealerships and city sites. Your HOA can still light its entrance and amenities with us.
Can you light an entrance that sits on a slope?
–
Yes. We check sight lines from the approach road during the site walk. Uphill entrances get lighting that reads from a distance, while lower entries use wrapped trees and accent lighting to lift them into view. Stone monuments stay the focal point.
Do you work with gated communities?
–
Yes. Gated communities often add the gatehouse roofline, gate columns and entry walls to the plan. We coordinate access with the gate staff or management company before each visit. Residents notice the change the first night, and visitors see a clear, welcoming arrival.
Can you decorate Hillside Village storefronts?
–
We can light individual storefronts or a whole center, depending on who manages the property. Wrapped trees, garland, wreaths and commercial Christmas trees suit the open-air layout and the holiday shopping traffic. Installs are scheduled around store hours so shoppers are not disrupted.
Do we have to buy the lights?
–
No. Everything is leased. We supply commercial-grade LED lighting cut to fit your property, install it, maintain it during the season, remove it after the holidays and store it. Your association never stores or replaces worn product, and next season starts from your saved design.
Are you insured?
–
Yes. We carry liability insurance and workers' compensation and can send a certificate of insurance to your association manager, landlord or the city before any work begins. Tell us who should be named on the certificate when you approve the proposal, and copies can go to several recipients.
When should we schedule installation?
–
Approve a design by early fall. That leaves time to install before Holiday on the Hill in early December. Late summer works well for the site walk and board review. Entrances with several approach trees benefit from even earlier approval.
What happens if lights fail in December?
–
Call our office Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. Maintenance during the season is included, so we schedule a crew to repair the section and restore the display. Tell us which entrance or building is affected so the crew can bring the right product.
Do you offer landscape lighting too?
–
Yes. Cedar Hill's trees and terrain suit landscape lighting all year. We also install permanent lighting, bistro lighting and special event lighting, and these services can include homes in any city. Ask about them during your holiday site walk, and we can plan both together.
