Christmas Light Hanging Service for Wide, Open Front Yards
We are a lighting contractor working out of Southwick, straight up College Highway. A Christmas light hanging service in Granby has to carry a long way. The houses here sit way back, with a lot of room between them. The street is wide and lined with big old shade trees. On a lot this deep the display gets read from the road at a distance. A thin line disappears. A full one carries.
Southwick is a straight run north and Suffield is one town east. All of it sits in the Farmington Valley end of Hartford County.
That pattern is on the record in the Living Places record for the Granby Center Historic District.
- The houses sit way back, with room between them, so the display has to read from farther off
- Big old shade trees along the street block parts of the view, which decides where a run starts and stops
- Homeownership in Granby runs 92.1 percent, higher than any other town on our route
- The town has grown 9.8 percent since 2020, so many houses are on a first winter with a new owner
- The lights are ours. We lease them for the season, so nothing gets bought, boxed or stored by you
A display that reads across a hundred feet of lawn takes a plan. We lay out a display for a wide front yard before anything is cut.
Services We Bring to Granby Homes
Eight services, one crew, one season, one trip up College Highway.
- Christmas Light Design The plan starts at the road, because on a lot this deep the road is where the display gets judged.
- Christmas Light Installation Strands arrive built, go up on clips, and get tested end to end before the truck leaves.
- Christmas Light Maintenance One dark bulb in a long run is obvious from the street, and it gets replaced.
- Christmas Light Removal January, unless there is snow on the roof, and then it happens after the melt.
- Christmas Light Storage Your strands spend ten months in our storage, boxed and labeled, not in your attic.
- Roofline Christmas Lights The strand gets cut to the exact run, so a long roof edge never ends in a gap.
- Bush Christmas Lights Wrapped by hand, so the bushes still read as bushes from a hundred feet out.
- Christmas Wreath Lights Entry wreaths and lit railings, which do the close-up work the roofline cannot do at that distance.
Lighting Older Homes With Delicate Trim
The center of town has steep old roofs with fancy shingle work. Carved wood trim runs along the edge of the roof. Old shingle work like that does not forgive a nail. The carved trim was cut by hand and was never meant to hold anything up. Both sit on the wide street through the middle of town, and both get treated the same way.
- The old shingle work on those steep roofs gets nothing driven into it, ever
- Carved roof trim holds a clip on its edge, never a fastener through the face
- Deep porches and wide roof edges get lit along the front edge, so the bulbs still show from the road
- Nothing is drilled, nailed or stapled, and everything comes off in January
Corners and Lanes We Light in Granby
Salmon Brook Street carries Route 10 and US 202 through the center. Local coverage calls it home to some of the finest houses in town. Route 189 runs down Hartford Avenue and Route 20 crosses east and west. West Granby sits out along Simsbury Road toward Holcomb Farm and the game refuge. The center of town sits on a flat rise, about fifty feet above the low ground around it. That is why a display up there shows from farther off than you would expect. West Suffield and Westfield run on the same week.

Towns Over the State Line We Also Light

Eleven towns get covered in a season, and the other towns we light all sit inside the same route.

Granby Christmas Light Hanging Service Questions
Do you cross the state line into Granby?
Yes. US 202 and Route 10 run from Granby straight into Southwick, where the truck is parked.
My house sits a long way back from the road. Will the lights even show?
Yes, if the run is planned for that distance. A deep front lawn means fuller coverage up on the roof and less detail work down low.
Do you cover West Granby and the Simsbury Road side?
Yes. Those addresses get grouped on the same run so the truck is not crossing town twice.
We have old slate and carved woodwork. Can you work around it?
Yes. Everything hangs on clips. Nothing gets drilled, nailed or stapled into old shingle work or trim.
We just moved in. Do you handle the whole thing?
Yes. Design, install, service through the season, takedown and storage. You pick what gets lit and we do the rest.
When do Granby installs get scheduled?
October and November. Hanging lights in Granby gets harder once the first freezing nights arrive in the middle of October.
What happens if a strand goes dark in January?
Call. If a ladder reaches it, it gets fixed. If it is on the roof with snow on it, it waits for safe footing.
Do the lights come down, or do they stay up?
They come down. January is the plan, snow on the roof moves it, then the strands go into our storage.
Can you light the bushes and the walk as well as the roof?
Yes. On a deep lot the entry and the foundation plantings do the close-up work. The roofline cannot do that from the road.
