What does the typical project timeline look like from initial consultation to installation?
Quick Answer
Most Atlanta outdoor lighting projects follow five smooth steps: 1) free phone consultation, 2) detailed proposal, contract and 50 % deposit, 3) scheduling and prep, 4) installation—usually scheduled within two weeks and completed in a day, 5) hand-off.
Detailed Answer
Lights Over Atlanta uses a five-step timeline that respects your schedule and delivers wow-worthy results.
1. Discovery call (Day 0). A quick phone or online chat lets you share goals, inspiration photos, and budget.
2. Proposal & contract (within 48 hours). You receive a detailed plan, fixture counts, and transparent pricing. Approve it, sign electronically, and submit a 50 % deposit to secure your spot.
3. Scheduling & prep (Week 1-2). Our team prepares fixtures, transformers, and custom-cut wire while the office handles any paperwork. Most residential landscape lighting projects are scheduled within two weeks—even in peak season.
4. Installation day (1–2 days on site). Your outdoor lighting installation crew of licensed low-voltage technicians buries wire (if necessary), sets fixtures, programs smart timers, and leaves the yard spotless.
5. Hand-off. We send instructions on how to use the system (in case you want to make any adjustments). From there, your new architectural landscape lighting system shines every night—no ladders required.
