Christmas Light Installation in Union

A square, and country beyond it

Union keeps a proper county-seat square with older housing on the streets around it, and once you leave the grid the lots open into real ground. Two different jobs on the same afternoon: careful work on older trim near the centre, and long-sightline design out where the properties sit back from the road.

Near the square that means tracing what is already there — porches, bay windows, brackets — in one warm colour, on clips, with nothing driven into old wood. Out on the edges it means bringing the display toward the road with lit drive markers and a wrapped tree, so the house is not stranded at the back of a deep lot.

What works here

• One warm-white run, evenly spaced — with nothing competing, restraint reads best
• The porch line picked out — most houses here have one worth showing
• A wrapped tree at the front — doubles the display without touching the house
• Wreaths and garland at the door — the finishing touch, not the whole plan
• Timers and mid-season checks — so it is lit every evening without you thinking about it

Union sits on the same westward run as Washington and Pacific, so install weeks get grouped and the drive stays off your bill. (636) 244-6125.
