Holiday pieces for a downtown by the lake
Rowlett programs usually pair Main Street with one or two lakeside sites.
01
Main Street pole wreaths
Wreaths and swags on downtown light poles set the holiday tone for diners and shoppers walking Main Street on December evenings. Lighted pieces go where poles have power.
04
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.
02
Trunk wraps and canopy lighting
Mature park and street trees get wrapped trunks and lighted canopies in warm white or a color the city chooses. It turns an ordinary lawn into a December destination.
05
Library and city hall entries
Garland, entry wreaths and warm roofline lighting give the Rowlett Public Library and city offices a welcoming holiday face. Lobby trees can carry the palette inside.
03
Shoreline tree lighting
Wrapped trunks and lit canopies in city parks along Lake Ray Hubbard give evening visitors a reason to linger by the reservoir. We fasten everything for open-water wind.
06
Plaza and pavilion lighting
Pavilions, plazas and gathering spots get strand lighting, garland on columns and lighted accents so evening events have a warm setting without extra temporary rigging.
Lakeside lighting that holds up
Lake Ray Hubbard gives Rowlett something most suburbs lack: a long public shoreline that people visit after dark. Holiday lighting there turns an evening drive or walk into an outing.
The tradeoff is exposure. December fronts sweep across the reservoir, so we treat every lakeside tree as a wind site. Anchors go on solid limbs, garland is tied off at short intervals and strands are commercial-grade outdoor product. If a front still pulls something loose, the repair visit is already covered by the lease.

Rowlett season, step by step
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
Proposal for approval
We send a proposal listing every location, the décor at each one and the install window, so purchasing and council can approve with full detail.
03
Crews on your calendar
Installation is booked backward from your first holiday event, with work hours chosen to avoid busy streets, school traffic and other city activities.
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
Remove and store
After the holidays we take everything down, pack it by location and store it, so next year's install starts from a custom-fit kit.
Rowlett places to light
We would tour these Rowlett spots with staff first, noting power, wind exposure and how each one is seen at night.
Downtown Main Street
The city's walkable core, with restaurants and shops along the street. Pole décor and garland in public areas set the tone, and businesses can book matching décor for their storefronts. We plan around downtown events so installs never block patios or sidewalks.
Pecan Grove Park
A large city park with mature trees that suit trunk wraps and canopy lighting. Entry décor welcomes families who come out for evening walks. We focus on trees near entries and parking first, where most visitors see them on winter evenings.
Lake Ray Hubbard parks
Lakeside parks give Rowlett a setting most cities lack. A row of lighted trees near the shore can become a December destination for evening visitors. We choose trees that are visible from the shore and secure each piece for wind off the open water.
Rowlett Public Library
A civic building residents visit through the winter. Entry wreaths, garland and a lobby tree make it feel part of the season inside and out. Interior pieces stay clear of reading areas and walkways, so patrons and staff are not disrupted.
Procurement without the guesswork
Staff should know exactly what they are approving. After the site walk, Rowlett gets a written quote listing each location, the décor at each one, the install window and how service calls work.
Certificates of insurance come with it. If the city issues an RFP or request for quotes, we answer each item in the format asked, and we say plainly if something is outside what we offer. Install dates are booked around downtown events and the tree lighting.

Rowlett price factors
We quote real sites, shaped by factors like these.
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.
Garland and wreath volume
Feet of garland and the count and size of wreaths and swags add up quickly on a long main street. We size quantities to the blocks you choose.
Lift access and height
Second-story rooflines, tall trees and high poles need lifts. Tight sidewalks, parked cars and slopes can slow access and add install time. We note each of these on the site walk.
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.
Lakeside tie-offs
Trees and structures near open water need more anchor points and careful fastening. That adds some labor and hardware compared with a sheltered downtown block.

Rowlett municipal lighting FAQ
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
Can you light trees along Lake Ray Hubbard?
–
Yes, where the city controls the site. We plan for open-water wind, use commercial-grade outdoor product and fasten everything tightly. Service visits after strong fronts are included in the lease. Staff walk the finished display before it opens. Wind is part of the plan.
Will you answer a formal RFP or request for quotes?
–
Yes. Send us the solicitation and we will respond to each item it asks for, from scope and schedule to insurance. If a requirement is outside what we offer, we say so plainly in the response. Our office is open weekdays from 8am to 5pm for questions.
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 Main Street businesses join the city's display?
–
Yes. Restaurants, retail shops and law firms downtown can book matching décor under their own agreements, so storefronts complement the city's pole décor and public areas. Each business gets its own quote and agreement, separate from the city's. Same crews, same product.
Can staff get a written quote for council review?
–
Yes. After the site walk we put the scope in writing: each location, the décor planned there, the install window and the service plan. Staff can attach it to a council packet or route it for internal approval. Pricing is based on your actual sites.
Can you decorate the library and city offices inside?
–
Yes. We place lobby trees, garland on counters and wreaths at entries, keeping walkways and accessible routes clear. Interior work is scheduled outside busy public hours where possible. Interior pieces match the outdoor palette. Work is scheduled outside busy public hours.
What happens if part of the display stops working?
–
Maintenance and service calls are part of the program. Call or email our office and we schedule a crew to fix it. Main streets and city hall entries are high-visibility sites, so we keep staff updated on timing until the repair is done.
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.
What will Rowlett staff receive before approving?
–
A written quote listing every site, the décor planned, the install window and the service process, plus certificates of insurance. If the city issues an RFP, we respond to each item. Questions go to the office weekdays from 8am to 5pm.
