Evergreen Contracting & Irrigation designs and installs landscape lighting for homes in Grantville. This is where we are based, on South Faith Road, so when we say local we mean it in the plainest sense. Free estimates arrive within a week, and repairs get scheduled in 1 to 2 weeks.
This Is Our Home Town
Our shop sits right here in Grantville, in East Hanover Township. Nearly every other company you might call is driving in from Harrisburg, Hershey, or further, and charging for the trip one way or another. We are already here.
That changes the whole experience of hiring someone. An estimate can happen in a day or two rather than next week. If a fixture drifts out of aim after a storm, or a bulb wants swapping years down the line, we are minutes away rather than an appointment to be squeezed in. When you hire the company down the road, the company down the road actually shows up.
We Know This Ground Because We Live On It
Most contractors have to guess at local soil, drainage, and how hard the winters bite. We do not, because this is the ground we work on every single week. The clay that holds water in one spot, the frost line, the way a wet spring behaves here, all of it is second nature.
That knowledge goes straight into your design. We know how deep to set things so frost does not lift them, which low corners need drainage planned around them, and which fixtures actually last through a Dauphin County winter. It is the difference between a system built from a catalogue and one built for this specific place.
Open Country and Real Acreage
Grantville is farm country and open land, and the properties show it. Lots here have room, with long drives, mature trees, outbuildings, and yards that run well back from the road. A single porch light leaves most of that in the dark.
Lighting a larger property means planning in zones so coverage carries from the road to the back of the lot. We map the whole place first, then light the drive, the entry, a feature tree or two, and the outbuildings you actually use after dark. The aim is even, useful light across the property rather than a bright patch by the door and nothing beyond it.
Horse Farms and Paddock Properties
With Penn National at the center of things, this is horse country, and equestrian properties have needs a standard yard does not. Barns, tack rooms, and the path from the house to the stable all want light you can use with your hands full and often before dawn.
We light barn approaches and doorways so footing stays clear on early mornings and late nights. Fixtures go where a horse, a trailer, or a wheelbarrow will not clip them, and motion units cover the spots you pass through rather than burning all night. The decorative work sits nearer the house, while the working areas get light that simply does its job.
Made for the Weather Here
Humid summers with hard storms, then winters of ice and repeated freezing. 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 a shrub 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, on our own ground as much as anyone’s.

Frequently Asked Questions
You are actually based in Grantville. What does that mean for me?
It means faster everything. Estimates get booked in a day or two rather than next week, and installation slots are easier to arrange since there is no long drive built into our day.
It matters most after the work is done. Lighting systems occasionally need a fixture re-aimed or a bulb changed years later, and a local company can handle that quickly instead of treating it as a trip to schedule. You are hiring the people down the road, not a crew passing through.
Can you light a large or rural property fully?
Yes, and it is much of what we do here. Bigger lots need planned zones so light carries evenly from the road to the back of the property rather than clustering by the door.
We map the whole place first, then light the drive, the entry, a feature tree or two, and the outbuildings you use after dark. Nothing important sits in a black gap, and the property reads as one finished piece at night.
Do you work on horse farms and barns?
We do, and equestrian properties are common around here. Barn approaches, doorways, and the path from the house to the stable all get practical light you can use with your hands full, including before dawn.
Fixtures go where horses, trailers, and equipment will not reach them, and motion units keep working areas from burning all night. It is lighting built around how the property is actually used.
Will lighting work alongside my irrigation?
It will, and having one company do both is a real advantage. We can run wire and pipe in the same trench where the layout allows, restore the lawn once, and keep sprinkler spray off the light lenses by planning both together.
How soon can you come out?
Being based here, usually very soon. Free estimates come within a week and often sooner. Most installations take one to three days, and we leave the site clean.
