Professional Christmas light installation coming to Savannah's historic squares and coastal neighborhoods
Savannah homes carry a lighting problem few other cities share: mature live oaks draped in Spanish moss, wrought iron balconies, and Federal and Greek Revival facades that reward careful lighting and punish a rushed job. Wrapping a two hundred year old oak on a downtown square is not a ladder and staple project. The historic district's building rules, the reach required for the tree canopy, and the salt air off the river all favor hiring someone who does this for a living. Homeowners in Ardsley Park, business owners along River Street, and property managers in the surrounding suburbs typically want a clean, restrained look that suits the architecture rather than a big box tangle. Holiday Lights Decor is opening the Savannah market, and this page explains what that installation will involve and how to reserve a spot for the first season.
Christmas Lighting in Savannah
What installing here actually involves
Which Savannah areas this covers
This page covers the City of Savannah and the surrounding Chatham County communities, anchored on ZIP 31401 in the Landmark Historic District. Planned coverage includes the downtown squares, the Victorian District, Ardsley Park, Thomas Square, and the riverfront, along with midtown, the southside, and Georgetown. It extends to the islands and nearby towns: Wilmington Island, Whitemarsh Island, Skidaway Island, Isle of Hope, Thunderbolt, Garden City, Pooler, and Richmond Hill just across into Bryan County. It does not reach Statesboro to the west or Hilton Head and Bluffton across the South Carolina line, which sit in a different service region. If your property is inside greater Savannah and Chatham County, you are within the intended area.
Lighting live oaks and historic facades
Savannah's signature look is the live oak, and lighting one properly is skilled work. These trees hold their leaves year round, spread wide over the squares and yards, and carry Spanish moss that catches on careless wiring. Wrapping the trunk and lower limbs cleanly, without strangling growth or leaving loops that sag by January, takes the right gauge of commercial strand and a plan for the canopy height. The built environment demands the same care. Federal row houses, Greek Revival mansions, and Italianate storefronts in the historic district have detailed cornices, iron railings, and tall parapets that reward outlining but resist quick fixes. A good install respects the symmetry these facades were built around, using warm bulbs and hidden runs rather than draping color across the trim. That restraint is what reads as tasteful in a district this old.
What coastal humidity does to lights
Savannah sits at the edge of the marsh, and the salt-laden coastal air is hard on holiday lighting. Moisture works into cheap sockets, corrodes connections, and shortens the life of anything not rated for outdoor coastal use. Winters here are mild but damp, with heavy dew and the occasional cold snap, so condensation cycles through the strands night after night. That is exactly where consumer grade lights fail, half a run going dark in December with no easy fix. Professional installation for this market will use commercial grade, weather sealed product with gasketed connections and proper drip loops, built to survive humidity rather than fight it. It also means securing runs against coastal wind gusts off the river. The goal is a display that still looks right on New Year's Eve, not one you are patching in the rain.
Services that fit Savannah properties
The work that suits this metro follows its architecture. Roofline outlining in warm white flatters the historic district's peaked and parapet rooflines and the Craftsman bungalows of Ardsley Park. Tree wrapping is the standout service here given the live oaks, from a single specimen oak to a row lining a square or a driveway. Wreaths and garland on iron gates, columns, and downtown storefronts fit the River Street and Broughton Street commercial corridors. For the islands and southside subdivisions, full roof and landscape packages match the newer homes on larger lots. Every job includes the parts homeowners dread: professional installation, mid-season service if a run fails, takedown after the holidays, and storage so you are not stuffing tangled strands into an attic. The service mix is built around what Savannah properties actually have.
Booking early for the first Savannah season
Savannah's season runs from the day after Thanksgiving through the New Year, and the local calendar shapes the demand. Many owners want lights up before the holiday home tours and the downtown festivities that draw visitors into the squares. Because Holiday Lights Decor is opening this market rather than operating here already, the first season will run on a reserved list, and spots are limited by how much a new crew can schedule. Design and measurement ideally happen in early fall, before the November rush, so the right amount of product can be ordered for your specific oaks and rooflines. Getting on the list early means your property is measured and planned before capacity fills. Reach out now through the quote form to claim a place for the inaugural Savannah season.
What installation costs in Savannah
With a median home value near $260,000, most Savannah homeowners land in the mid range for a professional install. A modest roofline outline on a historic row house or bungalow often starts around $600 to $1,200. A typical single family home with roofline, a couple of wrapped shrubs, and one oak commonly runs $1,500 to $3,500. Large properties on the islands or grand historic mansions with multiple mature live oaks can exceed that. The biggest cost driver here is tree wrapping, since a full grown Savannah oak takes far more strand and labor than a roofline. Roof height, iron detailing, and how much of the canopy you want lit also move the number. Quotes are all in: product, install, service, takedown, and storage.
