Evergreen Contracting & Irrigation designs and installs landscape lighting for homes in Elizabethville. This is our own Dauphin County, a settled crossroads borough in the Lykens Valley, and we know the ground and the winters here first hand. Free estimates arrive within a week, and repairs get scheduled in 1 to 2 weeks.
The Crossroads Town in the Lykens Valley
Elizabethville was founded in 1817 at the meeting of two valley roads, and for years it went by several names at once, Lykens Valley Cross Roads, Cross Roads, Washington Square, and Elizabethville. The confusion for shippers and postmasters was one reason the town finally incorporated as a borough in 1893. It sits in the Lykens Valley, wrapped by scenic ridges, at the crossroads of Route 209 and Route 225.
Today it is a settled small town of around 1,500, the hub of the upper end of the county. Its Main Street still mixes homes and storefronts the way an old crossroads town does. That character is worth lighting with a bit of care.
Homes and Storefronts Along Main Street
A crossroads town puts houses and small businesses side by side, and lighting on Main Street works best when it suits both. A well-lit home frontage lifts the whole street, and for anyone running a shop or office from a Main Street building, good lighting after dark is quiet advertising that works every evening.
On these close-set frontages we use narrow beams and shielded fixtures so light lands on your property and not in the window next door or out into the road. A warm, welcoming entrance and a clearly lit walk do most of the work. Where a building faces the busy crossroads, we keep glare off the pavement so the effect reads calm rather than harsh against passing headlights.
Curb Appeal That Works Every Night
In a small town where people know their neighbors and take pride in their properties, a home that looks cared for after dark stands out. Lighting is one of the few upgrades that changes how a house presents without altering the structure at all.
We look for what makes your particular home worth highlighting, a brick face, a gable, a porch, a good tree out front, and light it with intent. It lifts the whole frontage for a modest outlay, and unlike a daytime improvement, it does its work every single evening. Whether you plan to stay for decades or sell down the road, a well-lit home simply looks its best.
Right Here in Our Own County
Elizabethville is in Dauphin County, the same county we work out of, up in the Lykens Valley. That closeness shows in practical ways. Estimates get scheduled quickly, and if a fixture needs re-aiming after a storm we can fit you in without a long wait.
It also means the valley’s ground and weather are familiar rather than something we guess at. We install on similar properties up this way in Williamstown and Valley View, so the conditions on your lot are ones we have already worked with.
Made for Lykens Valley Weather
Humid summers with hard storms, then winters of ice and repeated freezing, with the ridges catching real snow. Fixtures go in weather-rated with sealed connections so both seasons pass without trouble. Low-voltage LEDs hold warm, steady output on very little power, which counts most through the long dark stretch of the year.
Growth gets planned for from the start. A fixture swallowed by planting come July has stopped earning its keep, and one placed near a lawn edge will meet a mower before long. We work out where each light belongs a season or two ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you light a Main Street home or small storefront?
Yes, and both benefit from it. A well-lit home frontage lifts the whole street, and for a shop or office in a Main Street building, lighting after dark works as quiet advertising every evening.
On close-set frontages we use narrow beams and shielded fixtures so light stays on your property, not in the neighbor’s window or out in the road. A warm entrance and a clear walk carry most of the effect. Where a building faces the crossroads, we keep glare off the pavement so it reads calm against passing traffic.
Does lighting really improve curb appeal in a small town?
It does, and noticeably. In a town where people take pride in their homes, one that looks cared for after dark stands out. Lighting changes how a house presents without touching the structure.
We highlight whatever suits your home, a brick face, a gable, a porch, or a front tree, so the whole frontage lifts for a modest cost. Unlike a daytime improvement, it does its work every evening, whether you plan to stay for years or sell later on.
Since you are local, how quickly can you respond?
Quickly, since this is our home county. Free estimates come within a week and often sooner, and service visits are easy to schedule because there is no long haul involved. You are hiring a company from your own valley, not a crew driving in from far off.
Will the lights hold up to hard valley winters?
They will, since that is what we build for. Weather-rated fixtures and low-voltage LEDs run reliably through hard freezes, and we place them clear of where snow piles and plows reach. If anything shifts over a winter, we come back and set it right.
How soon can you come out?
Free estimates arrive within a week. Most installations take one to three days depending on the design. You get the schedule before we begin, and the site is left clean.
