Holiday décor for Kennedale
A corridor-first plan puts Kennedale's décor where the most people will see it.
01
Parkway pole décor
Wreaths and swags on poles along the parkway create a holiday route that commuters notice every day, with sections added each year as budget allows.
04
Light-pole swags and wreaths
Swags and lighted wreaths sized for your poles carry one look down a whole street. We check pole height, spacing and brackets first, so every piece hangs straight and stays put through the season.
02
Wreaths for civic entries
Oversized wreaths over doors and on facades frame the entries people use most. They work on historic brick and on newer glass fronts alike, lit or unlit as power allows.
05
Matching corridor businesses
Restaurants, shops and offices along the parkway can book our commercial service and use the city's colors, so the corridor looks consistent end to end.
03
Small-city scale
We size each piece for Kennedale rather than a big downtown. A few strong elements in the right spots look better than many small ones spread thin.
06
Event-ready displays
Parades, markets and tree lightings bring crowds downtown. We schedule installs so the display is finished, lit and checked before your first event of the season.
A corridor-first holiday plan
Kennedale is a small city in southeast Tarrant County, and Kennedale Parkway carries most of its traffic. That makes the parkway the natural backbone for holiday décor.
We start with pole décor on the most visible stretch and a lighted tree and garland at city hall. In later years the city can extend the parkway décor, add park trees or decorate town offices inside. Every addition follows the same palette, so the corridor looks planned from the first season onward.

Kennedale's season, start to finish
01
Walk the sites
We tour each location with your staff, note poles, power, trees and rooflines, and agree on which spots matter most to residents.
02
Custom layout
Our team designs the display around your architecture and colors, then prices it site by site so staff can adjust scope easily.
03
Install before events
Installation is timed backward from your first holiday event, with crew hours chosen to keep streets and entries open.
04
Maintain all season
Service calls and maintenance run through the season. If something goes dark or shifts, call us and a crew comes out to fix it.
05
Pack it away
Removal happens on a date that suits your staff. Product returns to our storage, labeled for your sites and ready for next year.
Kennedale sites to start with
In a small city, a handful of well-chosen sites can carry the whole holiday look.
Kennedale Parkway
The parkway is the city's main route and the first thing many people see. Pole wreaths and swags on its most visible stretch create a holiday drive for commuters and can be extended block by block in later seasons. Crews work the parkway in quieter hours to keep traffic moving.
US 287 approaches
US 287 runs along the city and carries regional traffic. Lighted entry signs at the points where drivers come into Kennedale can mark the season and show civic pride. Larger, simple elements read well at highway speed, and we keep lifts well back from travel lanes during install.
Parkway businesses
Shops, restaurants, law firms and offices along the parkway can book our commercial service. Matching the city's palette makes the whole corridor feel coordinated from end to end. We can time their installs alongside the city's work, so the parkway looks finished all at once.
City hall
City hall is where residents come for city business and community meetings. Entry wreaths, garland, simple roofline lighting and a lobby tree make it a clear holiday anchor and set the palette for everything else. Indoor work is scheduled around office hours.
City parks
A park near the center of town is a good spot for a lighted gathering tree. We would review power, parking and where residents might stand for a tree lighting. One well-lit tree there can grow into a yearly gathering spot, with more lighting added in later seasons.
Purchasing made easy for Kennedale
Smaller cities need clear, simple paperwork. We provide a written quote listing each site and the season schedule, respond to an RFP if the city chooses to bid and send certificates of insurance for liability and workers' compensation before work starts.
Scheduling is built around your holiday event and council meetings. Parkway work happens in quieter hours to keep traffic moving, and our office handles every service call, so city staff can stay focused on their regular work.

Kennedale cost factors
Corridor length and pole count drive most of the cost.
Tree size and count
Wrapping a few small park trees is quick. Lighting large canopy trees or a tall city tree takes more product, more lift time and more care.
Roofline footage
Lighting on civic buildings is measured in linear feet. Taller buildings and complex rooflines need lifts and more time, which affects both cost and schedule for that building.
Power access
Lighted décor needs nearby power. Sites with receptacles in place are simpler; sites without them may lean on unlit garland, wreaths and planters instead of lighted pieces.
Number of sites
One city hall entry is a different job from a main street, three parks and two libraries. Each added location adds design, product and crew time.
Parkway stretch length
The longer the stretch of parkway decorated, the more poles and crew time are needed. Many cities start with the busiest section and extend later.

Kennedale municipal lighting FAQs
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
Can we decorate only part of Kennedale Parkway?
–
Yes. Most small cities start with the most visible stretch and extend in later seasons. Each extension uses the same pieces and palette, so the parkway looks consistent as it grows. Each extension also gets its own written quote, so the city controls the pace.
Can the design reflect our city's own look?
–
Every display we install is custom designed. We consider your colors, architecture, landscaping and the places residents gather. A historic district might call for warm white and classic garland, while a newer civic campus can take a cleaner, modern palette.
What drives the cost of a municipal display?
–
Cost depends on the number of sites, linear feet of roofline, the count and height of trees and poles, the amount of garland and wreaths, power access and the length of the season. A site walk lets us price your actual locations instead of an estimate from photos.
Is a small city like Kennedale a good fit?
–
Yes. We design for small cities as well as large ones. A corridor plan with a city hall centerpiece can give Kennedale a complete holiday look without a large budget. More pieces can be added each season as the budget allows.
How do you keep public areas safe during install?
–
We plan work zones before crews arrive, keep walkways clear where possible and schedule busy areas for quieter hours. Lifts and ladders are set up away from traffic when the site allows. Your staff tell us any city rules for street work, and we follow them.
Where is your office?
–
Our office is on Goodnight Lane in Dallas, and our crews work across Tarrant County. Call 972-620-9560, Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, to schedule a site walk. We group Kennedale sites with nearby Tarrant County work, which keeps service calls quick during the season.
Can you finish before our tree-lighting ceremony?
–
That date is the anchor of our schedule. Once we know when your ceremony or holiday event takes place, we set the install window to finish before it, with time left for a walkthrough so staff can confirm every piece is lit and in place.
How much power do LED holiday displays use?
–
Our holiday product is commercial-grade LED, which draws far less power than older incandescent strings and runs cooler. That lowers the load on building circuits and pole receptacles. Exact usage depends on the size of the display, which we can discuss during design so facilities staff can plan circuits.
Can parkway businesses add their own décor?
–
Yes. Businesses along the parkway can book our commercial holiday service directly and match the city's colors, so the corridor looks unified from one end to the other. We can schedule their installs on the same days as city work to limit disruption.
