What people mean by outdoor lighting
Ask ten Greenville homeowners what outdoor lighting means and you will get several answers. Some mean the roofline. Others mean the yard. Some mean the side yard that never gets any light. They are related jobs with different answers.
Lighting the house
Permanent outdoor lighting puts an LED

The ground level
Landscape lighting takes care of paths, plantings, trees and stairs. Patio lighting makes the back of the house usable after dinner. Security lighting handles the dark edges, which is a different question from making the front look good. Accent lighting picks out the details.
Choosing between them
A house that vanishes after sunset needs light on the building. If the complaint is "we cannot see the walk", start with landscape lighting. The yearly ladder routine is what permanent lighting exists to solve. Most properties have more than one of these.
Commercial outdoor lighting in the Upstate
Businesses have the same categories with different goals. A lit facade makes the building findable at night. Outdoor seating only earns its space if it is lit. Parking and walkway lighting is a safety matter, and the entrance is the first thing anybody sees.
What the first visit covers
The first visit is a look at the property, not a pitch on the kitchen table. The useful questions are practical: which doors you use after dark, where you entertain, what you cannot see. Those answers shape the design more than a style preference does.You should come out of it able to explain the plan to somebody else. 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 shape of the roof, the driveway, and whatever landscaping is out there. None of it has to be exact. It just shortens the distance between the first call and a real plan.
Doing it in one plan
It works better when one plan covers the house and the yard together, rather than a roofline job in March and a path job in October.
