Christmas Light Installation in North Great River, NY

Christmas & Holiday Lighting in North Great River

Ask anyone in North Great River for directions and they'll point you to Connetquot River State Park Preserve or the Southern State Parkway. North Great River is the inland, wooded neighborhood north of Sunrise Highway beside the Connetquot preserve — quieter and more treed than the bay-side hamlets to its south. The homes run to 1960s and '70s ranches and high-ranches, Colonials on wooded lots near Connetquot, and modest homes near the Islip Terrace border, and that range is exactly why a one-size display doesn't work here.

Here's what we've learned lighting North Great River: wooded half-acre lots between Great River Road and Connetquot Avenue keep wind down but put the best trees far from outlets — power runs are planned on the design visit. Wooded lots keep the wind down but put the best lighting opportunities — specimen trees, driveway approaches — well away from the nearest outlet. So tree wraps, driveway pathway lights, and the roofline each run on their own timer and circuit, planned on the design visit.
