Holiday pieces for a lakeside city
Most Lake Dallas programs pair a few high-visibility outdoor sites with décor inside town offices.
01
Wind-ready park lighting
Parks near Lewisville Lake take steady wind off the water. We fasten trunk wraps and canopy strands tightly and choose mounting points that hold up through December fronts. Fixtures are checked again on every service visit.
04
Décor for neighboring businesses
Law firms, restaurants and retail shops near city sites can book the same product and look. A matched block feels like one district instead of a few scattered displays.
02
Light-pole swags and wreaths
Swags, wreaths and bows sized to your pole height and spacing. Lighted versions go where poles have power, and unlit greenery fills the gaps so the street still reads as one design.
05
A gathering-spot tree
One lighted tree where families can meet gives a small city a clear holiday centerpiece and an easy backdrop for photos, caroling or a short lighting ceremony. We can add a timer so it glows each evening.
03
City hall and library entries
Garland around the doors, wreaths on the facade and a warm white roofline make city hall and the Lake Dallas Public Library feel welcoming from the parking lot. Both buildings sit where residents already stop, so the décor works hard.
06
A feature tree for the lighting night
A lighted tree on a lawn, plaza or square gives your tree-lighting event its centerpiece. We schedule the install so it is tested and ready well before the crowd arrives.
Big impact on a small-city scope
A city the size of Lake Dallas rarely needs miles of street décor. It needs a handful of places that residents pass every day to look finished and festive.
We start by asking which sites matter most: city hall, the library, a park by the water, the main entry off I-35E. Then we put most of the product where people actually see it. The result is a display that feels generous without spreading the budget thin.

How a Lake Dallas season comes together
01
Walk the sites
We tour each location with your staff and note pole spacing, power, tree sizes, roofline lengths and the events the display needs to support.
02
Design and written quote
You receive a site-by-site design and a written quote that staff can review, attach to a council packet or use to answer a bid.
03
Install before events
Crews install on a schedule set around your tree lighting, parades and markets, working early or late where traffic and foot traffic make that safer.
04
Service all season
If a section goes dark or décor is damaged, call our office and we schedule a service visit. Maintenance is part of the lease, not an add-on.
05
Pack it away
We handle takedown on a date that works for staff, then store the leased product for you. Your facilities team never needs warehouse space for décor.
Lake Dallas spots worth lighting
These are the places we would walk first with city staff. Every list is different, and we stick to sites the city owns or has the right to decorate.
Lewisville Lake shoreline
The lake defines Lake Dallas. Lighted trees and accents in a park near the water read beautifully at dusk, and reflections double the effect. We plan secure mounting for the wind that comes across the open water most of the winter.
Main Street downtown
The older blocks along Main Street suit wreaths on light poles and garland on storefronts. Restaurants and shops on the street can book the same look so the district feels coordinated. Even a few blocks of matched wreaths and garland can make a small downtown feel like a real holiday destination for neighbors from Corinth and Hickory Creek.
Willow Grove Park
This lakeside park draws visitors year-round. If the city has a role in seasonal décor there, entry features, pavilion lighting and a few wrapped trees can welcome evening walkers without crowding the shoreline views. Because the park is lakeside federal land, we only plan décor there when the city has the right to decorate it and confirms the scope with us first.
I-35E entries
Many people only see Lake Dallas from the interstate and its exits. Entry signs and monuments near the main exits are good places for bold wreaths and lighting that read at driving speed. Simple shapes and warm white light work better here than fine detail, which disappears at night from a moving car on the frontage road.
Paperwork that fits a small purchasing office
Smaller cities often run purchasing through a few people who also handle many other jobs. We try to make the paperwork easy.
You get a written quote that lists every site, the décor planned there and the install window. Certificates of insurance come with it. If the city issues a request for quotes or a formal RFP, we answer each item in the format it asks for. And we schedule around council meetings and city events, not the other way around.

What shapes the Lake Dallas price
We price your actual sites after a walk, using factors like these.
Number of sites
One city hall entry costs less than a program spanning a downtown, two parks and three buildings. Each added location brings its own design, install and service time.
Install timing
Early-morning or after-hours work around busy streets and city events takes planning. A tight install window before an event can also shape crew size and the number of install days.
Poles and power
The number of light poles, their height and whether they have receptacles decide between lighted and unlit pole décor, which changes both product and labor.
Phasing over several years
Starting with priority sites and adding more each year spreads the program across budget cycles. We design the first phase so later phases match it.
Lakefront exposure
Sites near open water need tighter fastening, more tie-off points and sometimes heavier-duty mounting. That adds a little product and labor compared with a sheltered downtown block.

Lake Dallas municipal décor questions
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
Is Lake Dallas too small for a municipal program?
–
Not at all. Many small cities start with city hall, one park and an entry sign. A lease lets Lake Dallas get commercial-grade product and professional installation without buying inventory, and the program can grow in later seasons as the budget allows.
When should our city start planning holiday décor?
–
Spring or early summer is ideal, while next year's budget is still taking shape. That leaves time for a site walk, a design, a written quote and any council review. Requests in late summer still work, but fall install calendars fill quickly.
Who stores everything after the season?
–
We do. After takedown, the leased product returns to our storage, packed and labeled by location. Because it was fit to your sites the first year, it goes back up faster the next season, and your facilities team keeps its storage space.
Can you work in parks near the lake when it is windy?
–
Yes. Wind off Lewisville Lake is part of the plan from the first site walk. We choose mounting points carefully, fasten strands and garland tightly, and come back on service calls if a storm loosens anything during the season. Strong fronts are expected.
Can you design around our city's look or brand colors?
–
Yes. We can work in classic warm white, traditional red and green, or a palette tied to your city's logo and banners. The design shows each site so staff can see how the colors carry from street to park to lobby.
Can you decorate inside Lake Dallas town offices?
–
Yes. We place lobby trees, garland on service counters and wreaths at entries, keeping walkways and accessible routes clear. Interior work is scheduled outside public hours when possible so staff and residents are not disrupted. A single lobby tree and counter garland are often enough for a small city hall.
Can nearby businesses match the city's display?
–
Yes. Law firms, restaurants and retail shops near city sites can book the same product and style on their own agreement. A block where the storefronts match the light poles reads as a single district for shoppers and visitors. Their quotes are handled separately from the city's.
Do you provide certificates of insurance?
–
Yes. Our crews carry liability insurance and workers' compensation, and certificates of insurance are available for your files. Tell us what your purchasing or risk office needs shown on the certificate, and we will have it in hand before work begins on city property.
Can local businesses on Main Street join in?
–
Yes. Restaurants, retail shops and law firms near downtown can book the same product and style under their own agreement. When the storefronts match the city's pole décor, the whole street reads as one holiday district. Their quotes are separate from the city's.
