Christmas lights in a small town where neighbors notice
Belle Meade is a small town of about 2,900 people in Davidson County. In a place that size, the same neighbors drive past your house every December evening. A display that looks planned gets noticed, and so does one with sagging strands or a dark corner. People here often hear about a lighting company from the house down the street, not from an ad.
That is why we treat each house as its own design. We look at which rooflines, trees and shrubs should be lit, and we plan the display before a single clip goes up. The goal is lights that look even, sit straight and come on by themselves at dusk.
Where we work in and around Belle Meade
We hang seasonal Christmas lights on homes across Belle Meade, including streets near Belle Meade Plantation. We also work in nearby Forest Hills and Oak Hill, so if a friend or relative in one of those towns wants a display too, we can quote both.
We are based in Franklin, TN, and our crew drives up from there for every Belle Meade job. Beyond these towns, we also serve Franklin, Brentwood, Nolensville, Thompson’s Station, Leipers Fork, Arrington and Spring Hill.

Our seasonal lighting services
A lit roofline with matching trees and shrubs. We offer two seasonal services, and most homes use them together so the whole front of the house reads as one display. We supply commercial-grade lights for both, so there is nothing for you to buy.
Both services are seasonal only. We do not install permanent or year-round lighting, and we are not taking on commercial displays this season. If you want lights for the Christmas season that come down in January, this is the right fit.
- Seasonal Christmas Light Installation: lights measured and cut to fit each roofline, then hung with clips so the lines stay straight.
- Seasonal Tree & Landscape Christmas Lighting: trees wrapped trunk and branches or lit from the ground, plus lights on shrubs along beds and walkways.
How we light rooflines, trees and shrubs
Straight lines along the roof edge. We measure each roofline, cut the light wire to fit it and hang the strands with clips. Cutting to length means no extra wire bunched at the corners and no gaps where a strand came up short. Steep or tall rooflines get the same method, and you stay off the ladder.
Trees get one of two treatments. We can wrap the trunk and branches so the tree glows up close, or light it from the ground so the shape shows from the street. Shrubs get lights laid evenly across the top. Everything runs on a timer, so the display turns on at dusk without anyone flipping a switch.
Quotes, install day and what to expect
A free quote to start. Email Andrew at andrew@firstclasspressurecleaning.com with your Belle Meade address and a few photos of the front of the house, and tell him which parts you want lit. We are available Monday through Sunday, 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
Install season starts in the fall, and the calendar fills up before Thanksgiving, so it helps to ask early. On install day, let us know where your outdoor outlets are and whether you plan to be home. We are insured for the work, including general liability and workers comp, so you are not taking on the risk of someone on your roof.
Takedown and storage after the holidays
No boxes of tangled lights in your garage. In early to mid January we come back, take everything down and store it for next season. Takedown is included in the price, so there is no second bill to plan for.
When fall comes around again, you can call us to put your display back up. Because the lights were cut for your house, the same plan can be used again or changed if you want something different. 1st Class Holiday Lighting is the lights side of 1st Class Pressure Cleaning, a Franklin company started in 2023 by Curtis Cathcart and Andrew Baker.
