The categories, sorted out
Ask ten Greenville homeowners what outdoor lighting means and you will get several answers. Some mean the roofline. Some mean the walk and the trees. A few mean the dark corner behind the garage. They are different problems, and they get solved differently.
Roofline and architectural lighting
Permanent outdoor lighting puts an LED channel along the roof edge, color matched so it disappears in daylight, and controlled from a phone app. One install handles the holidays and the everyday.
Lighting the yard
Below the roofline, the work is paths, garden beds, trees and steps. Out back, patio lighting extends the evening. Security lighting is for the corners, which is a different question from making the front look good. Accent lighting picks out the details.
How to decide what you need
A house that vanishes after sunset wants roofline lighting first. Trouble walking the property after dark is a landscape lighting problem. If the complaint is about hanging Christmas lights every year, a permanent system answers it. Most properties end up with two of the three.
The commercial side
Businesses use the same lighting for different reasons. Facade and storefront lighting keeps a building visible after dark. Patio lighting is what makes outdoor seating work at night. Parking and walkway lighting is a safety matter, and entry lighting sets the tone for a property before anybody is through the door.
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. Those answers drive the plan more than a color choice.You should come out of it knowing what is proposed and why. If you cannot, the design was not explained well enough.A

The house height, the shape of the roof, how far back the house sits, and whatever landscaping is out there. Rough answers are fine. It just shortens the distance between the first call and a real plan.
