Wilton Christmas Light Hanging

Out on Dillard Road in December, the tule fog can sit in the low pastures until almost noon, and a house set back behind a row of oaks just vanishes. A few strands of light fix that. The Elk Grove Christmas Light Hanging trucks drive out for Wilton Christmas light hanging all season, and we look forward to the rural jobs because no two are alike. Call (916) 823-8394 and tell us what your place looks like.

Most homes in Wilton sit on acreage. Ranchettes along Dillard Road and Wilton Road, horse property with pipe fencing, houses tucked back off Randolph Road behind a pasture. How far back the house sits decides the whole plan. A few hundred feet of driveway with stake lights on both edges does more out here than a fully lit roof nobody can see from the pavement.

The older crossroads part of Wilton, around Wilton Road and Green Road, has some of the oldest houses around. Older roofs and wood fascia get a closer look before we hang anything on them.

Country jobs live or die on power planning. The outlet you have might be on the barn, the well house or the back of the shop. We map the runs from what you tell us and a couple of photos, use outdoor-rated cord, and hook everything to one timer so nobody’s walking out to the barn at 5 p.m. to plug it in. Lit garland on a front gate or an entry arch is a nice touch when power is close. A lit wreath on each barn door looks good from the road too.

Same goes for trees. If you’ve got a big oak or walnut near the drive, wrapping that one tree often beats lighting three smaller ones. Tell us which trees you see first when you pull in, and we’ll start there. Fence lines are another option, though we’ll be straight about when a long fence run eats more power than it’s worth.

Parts of Wilton sit in the Cosumnes River floodplain, and a wet winter means soft, soggy ground. Plugs and connections stay up off the dirt. Stakes go where the ground drains, not in the low spot by the ditch. Tree wraps on the big valley oaks stay on the trunk and the heavy lower limbs, where they hold through a gusty week, and a pillar wrap on the porch posts gets tied off top and bottom. If a strand dies mid-season, call (916) 823-8394 and we’ll drive out.

We bring every light and do all the ladder work: rooflines, porch pillar wraps, tree wraps, stakes, wreaths and garland. The full rundown of services has the details. Come January, we’re back to pull it all down and take it with us. You won’t find a stray clip on the gutter in March, and there’s no tote of tangled lights to shove in the shop.

You get the house lit for the season without giving up a weekend or climbing a 28-foot ladder on uneven ground.

We work this whole corner of the county each season: Sloughhouse and Rancho Murieta to the east, Alta Mesa, Herald out along Highway 104, and the ranch roads toward Galt and Highway 99. Herald and Alta Mesa light a lot like Wilton, big parcels and one outlet, while the Rancho Murieta streets are closer to a tract job with a gate at the front. If you’re down that way, see our Galt page. Call (916) 823-8394 and tell us how long the driveway is, or put it in a message on our contact page.
