The categories, sorted out
"Outdoor lighting" means different things to different people. Some mean lights on the house. Some mean the walk and the trees. A few mean the dark corner behind the garage. They are related jobs with different answers.
Roofline and architectural lighting
Permanent outdoor lighting puts an LED channel along the roof edge, matched to your trim so daylight hides it, and controlled from a phone app. That covers Christmas, game days, and every ordinary evening in between.
Landscape, patio and security lighting
Below the roofline, landscape lighting does the walk, the beds and the trees. Out back, patio lighting extends the evening. Security lighting covers the side yard, the back of the garage and the corners of the lot. Accent lighting handles the finish.
Choosing between them
If the complaint is that the front of the house goes dark, start at the roofline. Trouble walking the property after dark is a landscape lighting problem. The yearly holiday setup has one obvious fix. Most properties end up with two of the three.
For businesses
On commercial property, the same work answers different questions. Facade and storefront lighting keeps a building visible after dark. Outdoor seating only earns its space if it is lit. Parking and walkway lighting comes down to safety, and entry lighting sets the tone for a property before anybody is through the door.
The free consultation
The first visit is a look at the property, not a pitch on the kitchen table. Expect to be asked where you walk, where you sit, what stays dark. Those answers drive the plan more than a color choice.You should come out of it knowing what is proposed and why. An unexplained plan is not something to sign off on.When you call, a short description of the property speeds things up. The house height, the roof line, how far back the house sits, and what is growing in the yard. None of
