Christmas & Holiday Lighting in Locust Valley

Locust Valley is the Gold Coast's village center — a walkable strip of shops on Forest Avenue and Birch Hill Road, the LIRR station, and estate lanes running out in every direction. The housing is mostly 1920s and '30s Colonials and cottages on the village streets, estate properties on wooded lots north and east of the village, and converted estate outbuildings, and the blocks around the Locust Valley LIRR station and Forest Avenue and Birch Hill Road's shops each light up a little differently in December.

Here's what we've learned lighting Locust Valley: village cottages and Colonials take warm-white outlines with lit windows — the understated look the village favors. Tall oaks and long driveways define the lots here, which is good news for tree wraps and pathway lighting and means power runs need real planning. So tree wraps, driveway lighting, and the roofline each get their own circuit and timer, mapped on the design visit.
