The categories, sorted out
Ask ten Greenville homeowners what outdoor lighting means and the answers split. For some it is the house, for others the walkway and the trees, and for plenty of people it is the dark part of the property they never fixed. They are different problems, and they get solved differently.
The building itself
Permanent outdoor lighting puts an LED channel along the roof edge, matched to your trim so daylight hides it, and controlled from a phone app. One install handles the holidays and the everyday.

One story or two. How steep the roof is. How far the house sits off the road. What is planted out front. Rough answers are fine. It just gets the conversation to something useful faster.
