Start with what you want to see Where roofline lighting handles the house, landscape lighting handles everything below it: the walk, the beds, the trees, the steps. Done well, it looks like the yard is lit and not like a row of lamps. Done badly, you get a line of glowing dots along the path and not much else. The pieces of a plan Most plans start with the path to the door, which is the piece that earns its cost every single evening. Uplighting on a good tree does more for

The categories, sorted out Ask ten people around Greenville what outdoor lighting means and you will get several answers. For some it is the roof edge, for others the yard, and for some it is the corner nobody can see. They are related jobs with different answers. Lighting the house Permanent outdoor lighting puts an LED channel along the roof edge, color matched so it disappears in daylight, and run from your phone. One install takes care of December and the other eleven

Why the term tells you nothing Nobody advertises a generic plan. The word no longer distinguishes anybody. What is worth checking is whether there is an actual design behind it, since one of those produces paper and the other produces a number.That is the whole distinction, and it is worth holding onto while you compare quotes. A package starts with a number and works backward. A design starts with your building and arrives at a number. Both can be perfectly honest pieces o

A local trend with a practical reason Around the Upstate, more rooflines are lit every December, and they are not coming down afterward. What you are looking at is a fixed LED track, installed along the roofline and left there. What it does the rest of the year Holiday color is the reason most people call. The reason it holds up is the other eleven months. Warm white on the eaves makes the walk to the door easier to see. Then there are game days, birthdays, the Fourth of J

Everybody plans the install. Almost nobody plans January The whole discussion is about getting them lit. That is understandable. But the season ends, and then there is a second job nobody scheduled. The people who asked the question up front have a much better January than the people who did not.And that is unfortunate, since the takedown is where a service is really tested. Anybody can put a display up. The question is whether anyone comes back. That question is worth aski

Why the term tells you nothing Custom is on every website in this trade. The word has been used until it is empty. What is worth checking is whether there is an actual design behind it, because a design is a document and a package is a price.That is the whole distinction, and it is worth holding onto while you compare quotes. A package starts with a number and works backward. A design starts from the property. Both can be perfectly honest pieces of business. Only one of the

Is there a difference between architectural lighting and holiday lights? The word sounds like an upgrade charge, but there is an actual distinction under it. The difference is between an outline and a plan. One treats the house as a shape. The other treats it as a building with peaks, recesses, columns and texture.None of that means you need to know the terms. The useful test is whether the design explains itself. If the answer describes your building, you are talking to a

The reason homeowners call Hanging Christmas lights sounds simple until you are on the ladder in a cold wind. Between the ladder, the cold, and the strands that quit halfway through, plenty of homeowners hand it off. The parts of the job A proper Christmas light installation covers more ground than most people expect. It starts with a plan: what gets outlined, which trees get wrapped, how it looks from the road. Then the install, handled by people who do this all season. T
