St. Petersburg

Holiday & Christmas lighting in St. Petersburg.

St. Pete has two lighting personalities and they sit a mile apart. Christmas light installation St. Petersburg covers the Mediterranean estates of Snell Isle, the brick-and-bungalow grid of Old Northeast, the waterfront of Shore Acres, and the island homes out at Tierra Verde.

Estates, bungalows and island lots.

Snell IsleOld NortheastShore AcresTierra VerdeCoffee Pot BayouVenetian Isles

Snell Isle was built around a golf course and a bayou, and the homes reflect that — generous frontage, circular drives, Mediterranean and modern estates side by side, and enough setback that the whole facade reads from the street at once.

Old Northeast is the opposite geometry. Narrow brick streets, hexagonal paver sidewalks, bungalows and two-story historics packed close, with porches that sit right at the front of the lot. Lighting there is intimate and detail-driven rather than broad.

Shore Acres and Venetian Isles run canal-front on lower-lying ground. Tierra Verde sits out toward the mouth of the bay with the highest median home price in the county and a lot of open sky behind every roofline.

What works here

Scale set by the street, not by the catalog.

On Snell Isle the frontage can carry a full composition — roofline, palms, drive, entry — because there is room to see it. That same treatment on a Old Northeast bungalow street would swamp the house and annoy the neighbors.

Old Northeast rewards restraint and craft. Porch garland that actually fits the column spacing, warm bulbs that suit century-old woodwork, and clean lines along a low roof edge. Done right it is one of the best-looking streets in the region in December.

Waterfront lots in Shore Acres and Tierra Verde take weather straight off the water. Mounting and wiring there gets specified for wind and salt, because a display that loosens in the first cold front is not a display.

Q&A

Asked around here.

Do you light historic homes in Old Northeast?

Yes. Older woodwork and low roof edges need mounting that holds without marking the material, which is worked out in person first.

Can you handle the frontage on a Snell Isle estate?

Yes. Wide frontage is planned as a single composition rather than a set of separate pieces.

Do you work on Tierra Verde and the barrier islands?

Yes, and exposure gets accounted for in how everything is mounted and wired.

How early should St. Pete homes book?

Early autumn. The calendar tightens through November and the specific weeks people want go first.
