Christmas Light Hanging Service in Southwick, MA
North Pole Lighting is based in Southwick, and hangs, services, takes down, and stores Christmas lights for homes here first.
This is our own town. The truck starts here.
Christmas Light Hanging Service From a Southwick Address
This is where the truck starts. Southwick sits in a notch of Massachusetts that drops below the Connecticut line. Suffield and Granby are next door, with no town in between. Two surveyors ran the boundary about eight miles too far south in 1642. The argument took until 1804 to settle.
That history is kept by the Connecticut State Library. Our Christmas light hanging service is not really crossing a state line. It is crossing a mistake. Westfield and Agawam sit on the same run.
- The truck leaves from here, so a Southwick address is never a routing problem
- The town touches Suffield on the east and south, and Granby on the south and west, with nothing between
- College Highway runs north to south and Route 57 crosses east to west, which is most of the route
- Congamond Road runs unbroken from College Highway across the lake into Suffield center
- Roughly two dozen old Federal houses survive here, with a half round window over the door
Neighbors tend to watch us put a display up on your street. That is how most of Hampden County finds us.
The Full Service List for Southwick Homes
A farmhouse, a lake cottage and a 1930s bungalow all get the same eight services and three different plans.
- Christmas Light Design The road is usually familiar before the house is, which shortens the first conversation.
- Christmas Light Installation Being ten minutes out means an install here can slot into a gap in the day.
- Christmas Light Maintenance A service call in your own town is a short trip, not a scheduling problem.
- Christmas Light Removal It comes off in January, or once the snow has gone off the roof.
- Christmas Light Storage The strands go into our storage a few minutes from your house and come back in November.
- Roofline Christmas Lights Long, plain farmhouse rooflines take a clean single run better than almost any house type.
- Bush Christmas Lights Foundation bushes get hand-wrapped, which fills in the front of a house sitting on open ground.
- Christmas Wreath Lights A lit wreath on a barn-style garage door gives an outbuilding something to do in December.
Lake Wind and Open Farmland Change a Display
A lot of this town is open ground. Farmland here is protected in perpetuity through purchased development rights, so the fields are not filling in. Add the Congamond Lakes on the east side and Provin Mountain on the west. Plenty of houses sit with no tree line in front of them. An open front yard is not a problem. It just changes the clips, the slack, and where a run gets anchored.
The Southwick Civic Fund runs Winter Forest at Town Hall. Outdoor trees are lit in the evenings from early December on.
- Exposed runs get more anchor points, not tighter wire
- Tobacco barns here run two stories tall with rows of upright wood slats, a different surface from an eave
- Cottages built between the wars run a story and a half with dormers, so the front line breaks more
Once the season ends, every strand is kept in our storage between seasons instead of yours.
Roads and Corners We Light Here
College Highway is the spine and Route 57 is the crossbar. Congamond Road runs east to the lakes and over the line. Depot Street holds the town’s only National Register listing. Whalley Park and the Farmington Canal Rail Trail sit on the west side. The rail trail runs from the Westfield line down to the Suffield line. That is roughly the shape of the town.
Longmeadow, East Longmeadow, Hampden, Wilbraham, Agawam, Feeding Hills, Southwick, Westfield, and Hampden County, Massachusetts. Suffield, West Suffield, and Granby, Connecticut, in Hartford County.

Southwick Christmas Light Hanging Service Questions
Are you actually based in Southwick?
Yes. This is the home town, and the truck starts here every morning of the season.
How fast can you get to a Southwick house?
Faster than anywhere else on the route. Most addresses in town are a few minutes out.
Do you cover the Congamond Lakes side of town?
Yes, and the west side toward Provin Mountain as well. Every road in town is on the route.
My front yard is wide open with no trees. Is that a problem?
No. An open front yard just means more anchor points and more care with slack. That gets handled at the walk-around.
Can you light a barn or a detached garage?
Yes, on a residential property. Barn faces and garage doors take wreaths and greenery well.
Do you also work over the line in Connecticut?
Yes. Suffield, West Suffield and Granby all border this town, so they are on the same run.
Where do the lights go after the season?
Into our storage, labeled to your house. Nothing stays in your garage or your barn.
When should a Southwick house get booked?
In the fall. The season runs about sixty days, and the local houses fill in fast once the signs go up.
Your Lights Are Ten Minutes Away
The closest houses on the route are the ones in this town. That is worth something in December, when a bulb goes out on a Friday night.
