What a Mesquite season includes
Each property gets the full program, start to finish.
01
Planning from the frontage
Our designer looks at the site from the road your customers actually use, whether that is the LBJ Freeway, Interstate 30 or a quieter arterial, and builds the display around that view.
04
Paperwork for managers
We carry liability insurance and workers' compensation. Property managers can request a certificate of insurance and file it before any crew arrives on the lot.
02
Leased LED product
Commercial-grade LED lighting arrives on lease. There are no boxes of strands to buy, test or store, and no burned-out sets left over for your maintenance staff to sort.
05
Help in mid-season
Wind, a contractor or a stray vehicle can knock a run loose. One call to the office puts a service visit on the schedule while the season is still underway.
03
Fitted on site
Strands are cut to each roofline, canopy and column, so outlines stay straight across long retail facades and wrap neatly around the corners of a showroom.
06
Takedown and storage
After the holidays, crews remove every piece and take it back to our warehouse. Nothing is left on your roof, and nothing has to fit in your back room.
Lighting along I-30, I-635 and U.S. 80
Mesquite sits where Interstates 30, 635 and 20 cross U.S. 80, and much of its commercial property faces one of them. A display seen from a freeway has a few seconds to register. Strong rooflines, bright entries and one large focal piece beat lots of small detail.
Retail around Town East Mall and stores along the LBJ Freeway get the most evening traffic. Car dealerships on that frontage often add canopy lighting and an oversized ornament or tall tree near the customer entrance.

How a Mesquite project moves
01
Tell us the site
Call 972-620-9560 or use the quote form with the address, the property type and any date you need to be lit by.
02
Walk the property
A designer measures rooflines, counts trees, checks outlets and notes how traffic approaches from the nearest highway or arterial.
03
Review the plan
You get a written proposal and a design that shows each lit feature, so owners, managers or boards can approve exactly what they see.
04
Crews install
Our insured crews put the leased product up on a schedule that keeps drives, doors and loading areas clear for business.
05
Season and January
We answer service calls through December, then take everything down after the holidays and store it for the next season.
Mesquite properties we light
From the rodeo grounds to the newest master plans on the city's south and east edges, Mesquite gives us very different sites to design for.
Town East retail
Shopping centers and restaurant pads around Town East Mall draw steady crowds through December. Lit building outlines, wrapped island trees and big wreaths on tower elements help a center hold its own against the busy roads and lots that surround it every evening.
Solterra
This master-planned community on Cartwright Road east of I-635 is built around a lake, with a pool complex, trails and a dog park. Association lighting there covers entrances, monument signs, medians and the amenity buildings, stopping at the line of private lots.
Mesquite Arena area
The arena is home to the Mesquite Championship Rodeo, and the Iron Horse neighborhood sits beside it. Venues and properties near the arena can be lit for the full season or around specific events, with removal timed to their own calendars.
Downtown Mesquite
The historic downtown hosts Christmas on the Square in early December, with a tree lighting, a gift market and music. Storefronts near the square suit warm window outlines, wreaths and garland that look right from the sidewalk, and owners like them up before that night.
Ridge Ranch and Polo Ridge
Two newer communities with their own amenity centers. Ridge Ranch has a pool and playground, and Polo Ridge combines a neighborhood with a planned retail center. Boards here usually start with the main entrance and add the clubhouse once residents have seen the first season.
For associations on the growing edges
Much of Mesquite's new housing sits inside master-planned communities with lakes, pools and long entry drives. Those shared spaces are where we work. A clear plan lets the board see every lit wall, sign, median and roofline before it votes.
Because the product is leased, the association does not need storage space or a reserve for replacement strands. If a new phase opens with its own entrance, we add it to the same design so the whole community stays consistent.
Stone entrance walls and monument signs
Boulevard medians and entry trees
Amenity center and pool rooflines
Wreaths on gates and columns
Certificate of insurance for board records
What moves a Mesquite quote
Pricing comes from the property, so these are the inputs that matter.
Feet of outline
The total length of rooflines, parapets and canopies we light. A long freeway retail center needs far more product than a single downtown building.
Statement pieces
Commercial trees, oversized ornaments, wreaths and garland are added to the lighting. Many owners start with outlines and add one large piece.
Trees on the lot
Each trunk wrap and canopy is measured separately. Mature trees along a drive take more product and time than small parking-island trees.
How many sites
Several entrances or several stores planned together share one schedule and one design, which keeps a brand or community looking consistent.
Lift work
Tall facades, high sign faces and steep roofs may need lifts. Sites with tight access or heavy daytime traffic can take more crew hours.

Mesquite Christmas lighting FAQ
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 Mesquite?
–
Yes. We install Christmas lights on homes across Mesquite: see residential Christmas light installation in Mesquite for neighborhoods, timing and what is included. We also work on commercial properties, car dealerships, HOA common areas and municipal sites. A resident of Solterra or Ridge Ranch can pass our number to the association board for its entrances.
Can a Town East area center be lit before Black Friday?
–
Yes, if the design is approved early. Retail centers that want lighting up for the start of holiday shopping should call in late summer or early fall, so the site walk, proposal and install date are settled before crews are fully booked.
Why do you lease the lighting instead of selling it?
–
Leasing keeps the product commercial-grade and the work in our hands. You avoid buying strands, storing them all year and replacing failures. We cut the lighting to your property, maintain it in season, take it down and store it until the next year.
How do you light a dealership on the LBJ Freeway?
–
We design for the view from the main lanes and frontage road. That usually means outlining the showroom roofline, lighting the canopy, wrapping trees near the entrance and adding a large tree or oversized ornament where customers park. Installs are scheduled so the lot stays open.
Do you work with HOA boards in Solterra, Polo Ridge or Iron Horse?
–
Yes. We light common areas for associations such as these: entrances, monument signs, medians, clubhouses and amenity centers. The board receives a written proposal and design to review, and we can send a certificate of insurance for its files before installation.
What happens if a section goes dark in December?
–
Call the office at 972-620-9560 during business hours, Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. In-season maintenance and service calls are part of the program, so a crew is scheduled to repair the run without a separate purchase on your end.
Can downtown merchants light up for Christmas on the Square?
–
Yes. Storefronts near the square suit window outlines, wreaths and garland on doors and railings. Owners who want lighting in place before the early-December event should approve their design in the fall so installation lands well ahead of the evening crowds.
Is your company local to Dallas-Fort Worth?
–
Yes. We are Christmas Decor by Carruthers Decorative Lighting, based at 11593 Goodnight Ln in Dallas. Our parent company, Carruthers Landscape Management, is a Dallas family business founded in 1978, and we have lit commercial and large residential properties for over five years.
Do you light city and municipal sites in Mesquite?
–
Yes. Municipal buildings, parks and public spaces can be lit for the full season or around a specific event. We coordinate install and removal dates with city staff so the work fits around public programs and daily operations at each site.
