Lights for the walk, the steps, and the patio
We light the way from the car to the door, and the patio if you want to sit out. You can change it from your phone.
See where you’re going
The walk from the drive, the steps, and the edge of the patio are the lights you actually use. A tree light is nice after that. A flood on the garage lights the neighbor’s window and still feels harsh. We put the useful lights in first.
Tell us where you stumble after dark. That’s the plan. You don’t need a drawing full of dots.
You control it from your phone
We hide the wire in the beds and aim the lights so they aren’t in your eyes. You can turn the patio on for company and leave the path on when you’re away. An old timer in a wet box is how lights end up blazing at noon. We don’t install those.
If something on the house needs an electrician, we say so and line that up. You won’t be left sorting it out.
We put the lights in after the yard is built
Lights go in after the patio and the plants, so they sit where the yard actually ended up. Putting them in first means we dig through a new lawn later, or aim a light at a shrub that never got planted.
Say which door you use at night, and whether you want the patio lit for sitting or just the path lit so you can see. We can do both, and you can turn the extra lights off without losing the steps.
Common questions
Do you install lights outside Raleigh?
Yes. Raleigh, Cary, Holly Springs, and the rest of the Triangle. Send a photo of the walk and the patio and we’ll tell you if it’s worth a look at dusk.
Can I run the lights from my phone?
Yes. You can change the schedule when dinner runs late or you’re out of town.
Should the lights go in before the patio?
No. We can talk about where they’ll go, and we install them after the patio and beds are in.
