Aberdeen, Braelinn, Glenloch, Kedron, and Wilksmoor, lit for the golf cart crowd and cleared out in January
In Peachtree City, half your neighbors see your house from a golf cart. That changes what looks good. Text us a photo of the front, and the back if it faces a path, plus your address. We send a written quote, hang the lights in a day, and take them down in January.
Peachtree City was planned from scratch. In the 1950s a group of developers put together more than 12,000 acres in Fayette County, and the city was chartered on March 9, 1959, with Joel Cowan as its first mayor. The plan split the town into villages, each with its own shopping, recreation, and schools. Today there are five: Aberdeen, Braelinn, Glenloch, Kedron, and Wilksmoor. It is so unlike the rest of South Metro Atlanta that it gets its own page.
What makes the city different is the path system. Roughly 100 miles of multi-use paths wind through the woods and along the lakes, and people use them to get to school, the store, and the pool by golf cart. Homes cluster along streets lined with tall pines, and plenty of back yards open onto a path. Drake Field sits on the shore of Lake Peachtree, and Lake Kedron sits by the Kedron village.
December leans into all of that. The city holds its Hometown Holiday at City Hall Plaza with music, school choirs, crafts, and a tree lighting, and people load lawn chairs and blankets onto their carts to get there. There are even guided golf cart tours of the neighborhood lights through the holidays. If your house is on one of those routes, or just on a busy path, people are going to see it up close and slowly.
That is why a Peachtree City quote sometimes includes the back or side of the house, not just the front. Send photos of whatever faces the street and the path, and we quote each part as its own line. We cut commercial-grade LEDs to each run, clip them on with no nails or staples, set the timer, and come back in January. Our roofline lighting page covers the basics.
If the back of your house faces a cart path, it may get more eyes than the front. We can light a back roofline, a deck rail, or the trees along the path.
Tall pines are everywhere here. A few wrapped trunks give the yard some light at eye level, and they look great from a slow-moving cart.
Lit shrubs and a lined walkway show up well at cart speed. They also help guests find the front door after dark.
We set the timer when we install, so the lights run on their own all season. In January we take everything down and coil and label it.
A lot of Peachtree City houses sit under tall pines on streets that curve through the woods. Pine needles and cones end up in gutters, which is one more reason not to climb up there yourself in November. We clip the lights to the shingles or gutter edge so they sit cleanly even if the gutters hold a few needles, and we keep the line straight along the eave. Add a couple of wrapped trunks and some lit shrubs, and the house glows under the canopy.
Homes near the lakes often have their best view on the water side. A lit back roofline or deck rail can be seen from the shore paths and across the water. Where the roofline is long and the yard has trees worth lighting, the whole-house package is a good fit. It covers the main roofline, shrubs, and a few trees in one visit.
Many neighborhoods inside the five villages have their own entrance sign with plantings, and some have a pool or a clubhouse. Lighting those gives the whole neighborhood a welcome during the season. HOA boards get their own quote, and we schedule entrance work early. See HOA and entrance lighting.
After the holidays we come back, take everything down, pull every clip, and coil and label each strand by where it hung. Garages in Peachtree City tend to hold a car and a golf cart already, so a lot of folks let us store the lights until next fall.
A Peachtree City house that is lit on the front, the path side, and a few pines can add up to a lot of footage. That used to mean a big electric bill and tripped breakers. With LEDs it usually does not. Commercial-grade LED strands draw a small fraction of what old incandescent strings pulled, so even a bigger display tends to run off one or two outdoor outlets. We plan the runs so the cords stay neat and set the timer so the lights only run in the evening. For the numbers behind it, read how much electricity Christmas lights use. And if you like the idea of never scheduling an install again, permanent Christmas lights stay up year-round and switch between warm white and colors.
What folks in Aberdeen, Braelinn, Glenloch, Kedron, and Wilksmoor usually ask.
It is worth thinking about. On a busy path, the back of the house might be seen more than the front. We can light the back roofline, a deck, or the trees along the path. Send photos of both sides and we will quote them as separate lines so you can choose.
We wrap trunks from the ground up to a set height, and we can light lower branches on hardwoods. Pines are tall and bare low down, so a trunk wrap is usually the best look. Tree and shrub wrapping is quoted tree by tree.
If you book early, yes. Our install season runs from late October to about mid-December, and the dates before Thanksgiving fill first. We can install early and leave the timer off until you want the lights on.
Yes. Small businesses at the village shopping centers and along the main roads get the same clip-on install, done outside business hours, with the timer set to your hours. See small business Christmas lights.
Make sure we can reach an outdoor outlet, leave any gates open, and move the golf cart out of the way if the garage is getting lit. Our install day checklist has the full list.
