A Smarter Way to Light Your Property

From first call to final install, our process is clear, collaborative, and custom-designed to bring your landscape to life.

📋 How It Works

Our Process, Step by Step

Step 1 – Consultation & Site Walk
Start with a quick discovery call. If we’re a good fit, we’ll schedule a walkthrough of your property.

Step 2 – Budget Estimate
You’ll receive a realistic budget range based on fixture types, labor, and accessories. This is a working budget, not a final quote.

Step 3 – Design Retainer & Planning
With your go-ahead, we collect a design retainer to begin detailed planning. It’s credited to your project—or the design is yours to keep.

✏️ What’s Included in the Design Phase?

Designing an exceptional lighting system takes time and care. Your retainer covers:

Custom fixture layout
Transformer sizing
Optional as-builts
Refined proposal and specs

💡 Note: Our estimates are typically within 15% of the final cost—if the scope stays consistent.
