What We Install for Addison
Every piece below is leased, custom-fit and installed by our insured crew.
01
Main Street Garland
Garland wrapped on poles, railings and storefront edges carries the season down the street. Commercial garland holds its shape outdoors, and we can add lights or ribbon to match the rest of the plan.
04
The Civic Christmas Tree
The city tree is often the center of the whole season. We light living trees on lawns or feature trees in plazas, with power runs and testing finished well before the lighting ceremony.
02
Pole-Mounted Wreaths
Wreaths on light poles are a classic downtown look that reads well from cars and sidewalks alike. Size and mounting are fitted to each pole so wreaths hang straight and stay secure all season.
05
Council Chambers and Lobbies
Council chambers, lobbies and atriums are where residents wait and meet. Tasteful trees and garland suit those rooms without getting in the way of public meetings or daily city business.
03
Trunk and Canopy Wraps
Wrapping trunks and major limbs turns park and lawn trees into landmarks after dark. Spacing and color follow the shape of each tree, and every wrap comes off cleanly once the season ends.
06
Window and Entry Décor
Windows and doors can carry wreaths, garland and swags that tie a building's face to the street display. It is an easy way to include buildings that have little roofline to light.
Built for How Addison Buys
Public projects run on paperwork, and we make that part easy. If your purchasing rules call for a simple quote, we send a written proposal with every site and piece listed. If the project goes out for bid, we answer the RFP as written and return it on time.
Certificates of insurance go straight to the office that needs them. Our crews carry liability and workers' compensation coverage, and we confirm your requirements before anyone works on city property.

Our Municipal Process
01
Map the scope
Our team visits every location you name and records heights, power, lift access and sight lines, so nothing in the proposal is guessed later.
02
Design and quote
You receive a custom design and a written proposal listing every site and piece, ready for a quote file, a purchasing review or a bid response.
03
Send the paperwork
Certificates of insurance go to purchasing or risk management, and the confirmed install schedule is shared with each department involved.
04
Install and test
Our insured crew installs custom-fit LED product and décor, then tests every run so the display is ready well before opening night.
05
Service and storage
We answer service calls through the season, then remove everything after the holidays and keep it in our storage until next year.
Where Addison Gathers in December
Addison is compact, so one design can link a park, a busy restaurant corridor and town buildings that sit a few minutes apart. Here is how we think about the main spaces.
Addison Circle Park
The park's open lawn and the streets around it suit lighted trees, trunk wraps and garland along the edges. It is a gathering space first, so we plan cord routes and fixture placement around crowds and event setups rather than across them.
Vitruvian Park
Vitruvian Park already draws people outdoors in winter. Its trails, lawns and water features call for lighting that complements the setting, so any work there is coordinated closely with town staff and the events calendar for the park. Warm white on the trees nearest the paths usually does more than color everywhere.
Addison Theatre Centre
Arts venues welcome guests after dark, which makes entries, windows and canopies good places for wreaths, garland and warm lighting. Audiences arriving for holiday performances get a seasonal welcome before they reach their seats. We schedule installs around rehearsals and show nights so nothing blocks a lobby or loading door.
Belt Line Road
Belt Line's restaurant row is where many visitors spend their December evenings. Pole swags and wreaths along the corridor, plus matching storefront décor for restaurants that want it, make the drive and the walk feel connected to the town's display.
Addison Town Hall
Town Hall on Belt Line Road can carry roofline lighting, entry wreaths and garland outside, with a lobby tree and décor inside. It ties the building residents visit for town business to the look they see in the parks. Interior pieces go in before staff arrive, so counters stay open.
Rooflines That Stand Out at Night
Civic buildings fade into the dark without some definition. Roofline lighting along edges, peaks and parapets gives city hall, the library and recreation buildings in Addison a clear outline that matches the street décor.
We fit product to each building rather than draping strings, choose commercial-grade LED for even color and confirm power during design so circuits are not overloaded. Entry wreaths and garland then finish the facade, so the building matches the streets around it.

Why Every Proposal Differs
Two towns rarely need the same scope; these are the variables.
Tree Size and Count
Trees vary widely. A young lawn tree needs a short wrap, while a mature canopy tree takes much more product, more time on a lift and more crew hours to light well.
Length of Season
An earlier install or a later removal stretches the season, which can add maintenance visits and affect where your project falls on the crew calendar.
Power at Each Site
Available power shapes the design. Sites with receptacles on poles and buildings are simpler, while sites without nearby power may call for unlit décor or a different layout.
Custom Pieces
Brand colors, custom ribbon or décor sized for unusual poles and entries take additional design, sourcing and on-site fitting time compared with standard commercial pieces.
Interior Scope
Interior décor is its own line item: lobby trees, wreaths, garland and planters for each building. Larger rooms and multiple floors mean more pieces and more install time.

What Addison Staff Usually Ask
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
Do you provide certificates of insurance?
–
Yes. We carry liability insurance and workers' compensation, and we send certificates of insurance to purchasing, risk management or whichever department hired us. Tell us early what your city needs shown on the certificate so the paperwork is ready before our crew arrives on city property.
Can installation be scheduled around our city events?
–
Yes, and it should be. We build the install calendar backward from your tree lighting, parade or market dates, and we plan removal so it does not collide with any January events. If a street or plaza is booked for something else, we schedule the crew around it.
Which city departments do you work with?
–
Parks and recreation departments, library staff, facilities managers, downtown associations, economic development groups and event coordinators all reach out to us. We work with whichever department owns the project and keep the other offices informed about dates, sites and any changes.
What kind of lighting do you use?
–
Commercial-grade LED product, chosen for brightness, consistent color and much lower energy use than older incandescent strings. Garland, wreaths and swags are commercial pieces built for outdoor seasons, and everything is custom-fit to the property rather than simply draped on.
Who is behind Christmas Decor by Carruthers?
–
Christmas Decor by Carruthers Decorative Lighting is part of the Christmas Decor franchise. Our parent company, Carruthers Landscape Management, is a Dallas family business founded in 1978 by Ben Carruthers, and we have handled commercial lighting programs for over 5 years.
Can the display be ready by Thanksgiving?
–
Often, yes, when the project is booked early. Many towns want displays live by Thanksgiving weekend or their first December event. We set install dates once the scope is approved, and the earliest slots go to the projects that are confirmed first.
Can several sites go under one contract?
–
Yes. A town hall, a library, a park and a main street can be planned as one program with one design direction, one schedule and one point of contact. That is usually simpler for staff than managing a separate vendor for each building or department.
What should our request include?
–
List the sites, the pieces you have in mind, any event dates and how your purchasing process works, whether a quote, a bid or an RFP. Include insurance requirements or past layouts if you have them. A rough list is fine; we can fill in the details on the site walk.
How do other customers rate your work?
–
We hold a 4.5-star Google rating. For municipal buyers, the more useful step is usually a site walk, where your staff can see how we plan, ask questions directly and review a written scope before any decision is made.
