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 months.

What the first visit covers
The consultation is somebody looking at the house and asking questions. Expect to be asked where you walk, where you sit, what stays dark. The way you use the property is the thing the plan gets built around.You should come out of it knowing what is proposed and why. An unexplained plan is not ready to be priced.When you call, it helps to describe the property in plain terms. The house height, the roof line, how far back the house sits, and what is growing in the yard. Rough answers are fine. It just gets the conversation to something useful faster.

The simplest version of this is one company looking at the whole property, so the roofline and the walkway are not fighting each other.
