The Duncanville Holiday Program
Choose any mix; each piece is fitted to your property, not pulled from a catalog.
01
Light-Pole Swags
Swags along street light poles give a main street rhythm from block to block. We size them to your poles and banner arms, and lighted versions are planned around the power that is actually available.
04
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.
02
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.
05
Medians and Boulevards
Trees and features in medians and along boulevards can carry wraps or garland that drivers notice at road speed. Placement is planned around sight lines and safe access for our crew.
03
City Hall Rooflines
Roofline lighting outlines city halls, libraries and recreation centers so civic buildings stand out at night. Product is custom-fit to each edge, peak and parapet rather than strung loosely along gutters.
06
Oversized Outdoor Trees
Where no living tree is available to light, an oversized outdoor tree can anchor a plaza or civic lawn. It gives a tree-lighting event a true centerpiece scaled to the space around it.
What Your Purchasing Office Receives
Purchasing staff need clear documents, not sales talk. For each Duncanville project we provide a written proposal with sites, pieces and schedule, a design layout and certificates of insurance showing liability and workers' compensation coverage.
If your process uses a formal RFP, we answer it in the order and format requested. If it uses quotes, ours is itemized so it lines up next to others. Either way, one contact handles questions from the first call through removal.

Five Steps From Request to Removal
01
Start with a call
A short call covers your goals, event dates, budget timing and how purchasing works, and then we book time to see the properties in person.
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
Confirm the details
Contact names, access instructions and any city requirements for work on streets or buildings are settled before the first truck rolls.
04
Light it up
Each site is installed, tested and walked with your staff, so any adjustments happen before the public sees the finished display.
05
Keep it running
In-season maintenance covers dark sections and weather damage. After the holidays we take it all down, clean up and store it.
Duncanville's Main Spaces
Duncanville's older downtown along Main Street gives the city a focus for the season, while civic buildings and parks carry it into the neighborhoods.
Main Street
The heart of the original downtown. Pole swags and wreaths down the street, garland on storefronts and a lighted tree nearby set the tone for the season and give residents a place to gather. Crews work early so shops stay open during installation.
Duncanville Fieldhouse
Large indoor venues welcome crowds for tournaments and events. Entry décor, wreaths and lobby trees can greet visitors through the holiday season without interfering with game-day traffic. Installs are scheduled around the event calendar, with pieces placed to keep entries and concourses clear.
Main Street Businesses
Restaurants, retail shops and law firms along Main Street can book matching décor through their own agreements, so the whole street reads as one design. Each owner gets a separate walk and quote, and we can match ribbon, greenery and light color to the city's display so storefronts and public décor look planned together.
City Hall and Library
Roofline lighting and entry wreaths outside, with a lobby tree and garland inside, make the buildings residents visit in December feel like part of the same plan as Main Street. Interior pieces are installed outside public hours so service counters stay open and staff are not disrupted.
City Parks
Trees in city parks can be wrapped and lit to give neighborhoods their own holiday landmark, placed so paths, fields and play areas stay clear for everyday use. Power sources are confirmed during the site walk, and we choose trees that read well from nearby streets at night.
Leasing Means Less Work for Staff
Owning holiday décor sounds simple until someone has to test strings, repair wreaths and find warehouse space. Our program in Duncanville is leased: commercial-grade LED product, garland and wreaths custom-fit to your sites, then installed and stored by us.
City staff stay focused on the event. When a section fails, a service call brings our crew back. When the season ends, everything comes down and goes into our storage until next year.

Pricing Factors for Duncanville
We price each program after a site walk, based mainly on these factors.
Roofline Length and Height
Long rooflines, multiple peaks and taller civic buildings take more product and more lift time than a single-story facade with one straight edge along the top.
Event Deadlines
A fixed tree-lighting date or a tight work window, such as early mornings only, affects how crews are scheduled and how the install is sequenced across sites.
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.
Phasing Over Seasons
Starting with one priority area and adding sites later spreads the program over several seasons. A proposal can show the first phase and what could follow.
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.

Municipal Holiday Lighting Questions
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
How do you handle work on public streets?
–
Pole and roofline work often needs lifts parked at the curb. We tell your staff where and when equipment will be, follow the city's requirements for that work, keep walkways open for pedestrians and clean up each day. Your team decides which approvals the work needs, and we schedule around them.
Do you also work with downtown businesses?
–
We do. Law firms, restaurants and retail shops near a town's displays often ask for matching storefronts or interiors. Each business signs its own agreement with us, and the design can echo the public display so the whole district looks planned rather than piecemeal.
Can you provide a layout for council review?
–
We provide a design layout showing what goes where, which helps staff explain the plan to a council, a committee or a downtown board. A clear visual paired with a written scope usually makes the approval conversation shorter and keeps questions focused on the plan itself.
When do the decorations come down?
–
Removal usually happens after New Year's, on dates set with your staff. If the city has a January event that relies on the display, we schedule removal after it. The crew takes everything down, cleans up each site and returns the product to our storage.
Is LED holiday lighting easier on power and circuits?
–
LED holiday lighting draws far less power than old incandescent strings, which means less load on receptacles and circuits at poles and buildings. We still confirm circuits during design so a large display never depends on overloading a single outlet.
Do you remove the clips and hardware too?
–
Yes. Removal includes the lighting, garland, wreaths, swags and the hardware used to hang them. The crew checks each site before leaving so poles, trees and rooflines are clean for the rest of the year and nothing is left for city staff to pull down.
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.
