Holiday lighting for the trees and yards of Thompson’s Station
Many yards in Thompson’s Station have large, established trees and full beds of shrubs. That gives you more to work with than a roofline. A trunk wrapped in warm white, or a row of hedges lit along the front walk, can do as much for a house as the gutter line does. We plan each display around what your yard already has, then decide which rooflines, trees and shrubs to light, and in what colors.
Thompson’s Station is a small town of about 7,485 people. A lit house gets noticed on the drive home, and neighbors talk about it. We want your display to look planned from the street, with straight lines on the roof and trees that glow evenly from base to top.

Our seasonal lighting services
We offer two services. Both are seasonal, which means the lights go up for the holidays and come down after. We do not install permanent or year-round lighting. Each service is priced for the full season: install, takedown and storage.
- Seasonal Christmas Light Installation: a clean, even line of lights on your roofline. We measure each run, cut the light wire to fit and hang it with clips, so nothing sags or hangs past a corner.
- Seasonal Tree & Landscape Christmas Lighting: lights on the trees, shrubs and hedges in your yard. This is a good fit for Thompson’s Station lots with mature trees, where the yard can carry as much of the display as the house.
How we light rooflines, trees and shrubs
Every part of the display gets its own method. We supply commercial-grade lights and set them on a timer, so they turn on at dusk without anyone flipping a switch. Here is how each part of a typical Williamson County home is handled:
- Rooflines: Straight runs along gutters and peaks. Custom homes here often have steep, broken rooflines with many angles. We measure each section, cut the wire to that length and clip it in place, usually with C9 or C7 bulbs.
- Trees: A crisp outline of the trunk and limbs, or a soft glow on the whole canopy. We either wrap the trunk and branches, or light the tree from the ground, depending on its size and shape.
- Shrubs and hedges: Even light across the beds that frame your front door and walk. Lights are spread over the shrubs so the color looks full, not spotty.
- Timers: Lights on every evening without a reminder. We set the timer during install so the schedule runs on its own.
Getting a quote and booking your install
Quotes are free. To start, email Andrew at andrew@firstclasspressurecleaning.com with your address and what you would like lit. We are available Monday through Sunday, 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM. We measure your rooflines and look at your trees and shrubs, then send you a quote for the full season.
Installation starts in the fall, and the calendar fills up before Thanksgiving, so it helps to reach out early. On install day the crew handles the ladders, the roof work and the wiring. You do not need to buy anything or get on a ladder. We are insured, which matters when someone is working on your roof.
Takedown, storage and next season
Your lights come down in early to mid January, and takedown is included in the price. We remove everything from the roof, trees and shrubs, then pack it up and store it for next season. Nothing goes into your garage or attic.
When fall comes back around, you can call us again to hang a display for the new season. There is no lease to sign and nothing to keep track of between seasons.
