common questions about our outdoor lighting process:
1. How much does custom outdoor lighting cost?
The cost of custom outdoor lighting depends on several factors, including the size of your property, the specific areas you want to illuminate, the type of fixtures you prefer, and the complexity of the design. For example, a simple pathway lighting system will cost less than an elaborate setup that includes architectural, landscape, and patio lighting.
We take pride in tailoring our designs to suit your budget and vision. During your consultation, we’ll assess your property, discuss your goals, and provide a detailed estimate. We believe in transparency and will work with you to prioritize the areas that matter most while offering options to fit your needs. Whether you’re looking for a modest enhancement or a complete transformation, we’ve got solutions to bring your outdoor spaces to life.
2. How do I schedule a free onsite consultation?
You can book directly through our website using our online calendar, or call us at 804-277-9296. Choose a time that works for you—we make it easy.
3. Can we install outdoor lighting in phases, or zones, instead of all at once?
Yes, absolutely! We can install your outdoor lighting in phases or zones. Our team uses generously sized transformers that allow future expansion, accommodating up to 50-150 additional lights depending on your property’s needs and our initial design. This approach gives you the freedom to enhance and extend your lighting design as inspiration strikes, creating even more captivating, beautifully illuminated outdoor spaces over time. Additionally, we may incorporate a hub system when the project calls for it, making it easy to seamlessly expand your lighting setup whenever you’re ready to add more brilliance to your landscape.
4. Is the onsite lighting consultation really free?
Yes! There is no charge for our initial visit. We walk the property, discuss your goals, and provide a custom design and quote with no obligation.
5. What happens during the onsite consultation?
We’ll evaluate your home’s architecture, landscape features, and lighting needs. Then we walk you through design options, fixture placement, and pricing.
6. How long does the consultation take?
Most visits take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the property and scope of the project. We’re thorough but always respect your time.
7. Can I make changes to the design after the consultation?
Absolutely. We welcome your feedback and can adjust the lighting design or layout before finalizing your proposal.
8. Do you install the lights the same day as the consultation?
No, installation is scheduled after the consultation. Once the proposal is approved, we’ll set a date for the install—usually within 1–2 weeks.
9. Do I need to be home for the consultation?
Yes, we prefer to meet with the homeowner to understand your goals and walk through the space together. It helps us deliver a tailored design.
10. What areas do you serve for consultations?
We serve Richmond, Midlothian, and surrounding areas in central Virginia. Not sure if you’re in our zone? Call us at 804-277-9296 to confirm.
