Outdoor lighting is really several different jobs
Ask ten people around Greenville what outdoor lighting means and you will get several answers. Some mean the roofline. Some mean the walk and the trees. Some mean the side yard that never gets any light. They are different problems, and they get solved differently.
Lighting the house
On the building, permanent architectural lighting follows the roofline, stays up all year, and changes color on demand. That covers Christmas, game days, and every ordinary evening in between.
Lighting the yard
Below the roofline, landscape lighting does the walk, the beds and the trees. 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 handles the finish.
Sorting out priorities
A house that has no shape at night wants roofline lighting first. Trouble walking the property after dark points at path and step lighting. If the complaint is "December is a whole weekend of work",

Commercial outdoor lighting around Greenville
Businesses have the same categories with different goals. 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 consultation is somebody looking at the house and asking questions. Expect to be asked where you walk, where you sit, what stays dark. The way you use the property is the thing the plan gets built around.By the end you should be able to point at the plan and say why each piece is there. An unexplained plan is not something to sign off on.When you call, it helps to describe the property in plain terms. The house height, the roof line, the driveway, and whatever landscaping is out there. None of it needs to be measured. It just shortens the distance between the first call and a real plan.
