Christmas Light Installation in Mandarin

Who installs Christmas lights in Mandarin?

Homes and properties we light in Mandarin

Mandarin sits on the east bank of the St. Johns River at the southern edge of Jacksonville, with Julington Creek and the St. Johns County line just below it. It is known for its live oaks. Along Mandarin Road and the streets off it, the trees meet over the pavement, and many homes sit well back from the road on deep lots.

That changes what lights do best. On a house set back under big oaks, the roofline alone can get lost from the street. Wrapping one or two oak trunks near the road, or lighting the driveway, brings the display forward so it can be seen. On the riverfront, some owners also light the back of the house so it shows from the water.

Older streets and newer subdivisions

Much of Mandarin was built from the 1960s through the 1990s: single story ranch homes and two story brick or siding homes on established streets. Off San Jose Boulevard and toward Bartram Park there are newer subdivisions with two story homes, front gables and closer neighbors. The older homes are usually a low, simple roofline plus trees. The newer ones are more roofline, at more height.

HOA rules in Mandarin

Many older Mandarin streets have no association. Newer subdivisions and Bartram Park usually do, and many associations set dates for when holiday decor can go up and when it must come down. Check yours, tell us the dates, and we will schedule install and takedown to fit.

Mandarin questions

Can you wrap the live oaks in my Mandarin yard?

Yes. Live oaks are what Mandarin is known for, and a wrapped trunk near the street is often the part of the display people notice first. The size of the tree sets the amount of strand, so send a photo of the tree with your quote request.

My house sits far back from the road. What should I light?

Start with what can be seen from the street. On deep Mandarin lots that is often a tree or two near the road and the driveway, then the front roofline. Power is the main thing to plan, so show us where your outdoor outlets are.

Do you install Christmas lights in Bartram Park?

Yes. We install Christmas lights in Bartram Park and across Mandarin. Most homes there are two story, so tell us about any high peaks when you call 904-523-2248 or send the quote form.
