Question 1

What does a typical community entrance or boulevard lighting project cost, and how do you help HOAs phase the work within a fixed annual budget?

Accepted Answer

There isn’t a “typical” price for community entrance or boulevard lighting because every property is custom. Once we know more about your layout and vision, our team will build a custom quote tailored just for you.

Community entrance and boulevard lighting is always priced on a project-by-project basis. Instead of selling preset packages, we look at your specific entrances, medians, and boulevards, then design a custom plan that fits both your aesthetic goals and your budget. Once we understand your layout and priorities, we can usually provide a tailored proposal and quote very quickly.

Several factors can affect the scope, complexity, and overall cost:

Size and layout of the community – Long boulevards, multiple entrances, and large medians require more fixtures, wiring, and labor than a single, compact entry.
Number and type of features – Monument signs, columns, walls, trees, roundabouts, and landscaped islands all add design and installation time.
Desired look and performance – Classic, even illumination is simpler than layered effects, focal lighting on trees and architecture, and precise uniformity standards.
Existing infrastructure – Available power, conduit, and any usable fixtures can influence how much needs to be built from scratch.

Question 2

Do you require payment in full at the time of installation?

Accepted Answer

Typically you’ll place a 50% deposit to secure materials and scheduling, then pay the remaining balance after completion of the project. You also have the option to finance the entire project with our financing partner’s monthly plan.

Lights Over Atlanta understands that lighting projects can be a significant expense, so we make budgeting easier. After your custom design is approved, we only require a 50 % deposit to reserve fixtures and lock in an installation date.

The remaining balance is due at completion—unless you choose financing up front. If you’d like to finance your project, the full project cost is financed through one of our flexible programs arranged through trusted lending partners, with approval completed when you sign your initial contract. Financing terms vary by program and approval, but are designed to keep cash flow predictable—ideal for homes, HOA communities, and commercial projects like restaurants, retail centers, and municipal streetscapes.

Financing never limits design. Whether you need dramatic architectural uplighting, LED conversions for an entire campus, or festive holiday displays downtown, our Atlanta outdoor lighting company tailors a plan that fits both your vision and your budget. Because we use energy-saving LEDs and fixtures, many clients offset their monthly payment with lower power and maintenance costs.

Ready to brighten your home or business without straining capital? Call our team, and we’ll walk you through a quick approval process and craft an outdoor lighting installation you’ll will enjoy for years. With Lights Over Atlanta, you get award-winning design, white-glove service, and payment flexibility all in one.

Question 3

Do I need to be home during install?

Accepted Answer

For most residential projects, no. Our crews can complete the installation as long as they have access to the areas being lit and to any outdoor electrical connections.

Most residential landscape and accent lighting installations are completed entirely outdoors, so being home is not required. Our crews are experienced at working independently and will treat your property with care from start to finish. We do ask that gates or side yards be accessible on installation day. If any part of the job requires entry to a structure on your property, our team will communicate that during the scheduling process so you can make arrangements.

For commercial properties, the same general idea applies. Our team coordinates with property managers, building staff, or tenants ahead of time to confirm site access. For projects involving interior work like hallway lighting, garage fixtures, or emergency and exit upgrades, we will establish access details before the install date so there are no delays.

If you have questions about what access is needed for your specific project, give us a call at (470) 870-0606 and our team can walk you through what to expect on installation day.

Question 4

I’m interested in having landscape lighting installed. What is the process?

Accepted Answer

After the initial contact, our scheduling department will reach out to set up your consultation. During your consultation, our design experts will listen to your lighting priorities and devise a plan to suit your needs. After a contract is signed, we require a 50% deposit of the agreed installation. Our warehouse and production team take it from there to supply the necessary materials and schedule your installation. Most installations are completed within 2 weeks of the signed contract. Final payment is due when the installation is completed.

Question 5

What types of residential outdoor lighting do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Lights Over Atlanta designs and installs every major style of residential outdoor lighting: architectural uplights and downlights, landscape and garden accents, pathway and driveway illumination, deck-, patio- and pool-area lights, security lights, elegant moonlighting, permanent café-string lighting, plus color-changing and holiday displays—all built with energy-efficient, long-lasting LEDs.

Every home and homeowner is different, so we design and install a custom mix of fixtures for each project. Most projects include a variety of the following features:

1) Architectural & façade lighting – low-voltage uplights and downlights that sculpt brick, stone, columns, and dormers.

2) Landscape lighting – in-ground well lights and spots that highlight trees, gardens, and water features.

3) Path, walkway & driveway lighting – shielded LED path lights that guide guests safely from curb to front door.

4) Deck, patio & outdoor-living lighting – step lights, railing sconces, and recessed fixtures that make entertaining areas glow after dark.

5) Pool & water feature lighting – sealed luminaires that show off rippling water while meeting safety codes.

6) Security lighting – targeted lights that deter intruders without blinding glare.

7) Moonlighting – high-mounted tree fixtures that wash yards in a soft, natural “full-moon” glow.

8) Permanent string and soffit lighting – café strands, bistro bulbs, and color-changing LEDs that add instant charm year-round.

All systems are engineered with high-quality LED fixtures, professionally installed, and backed by lifetime warranties and optional maintenance plans. Whether you need subtle garden accents or a dramatic entry makeover, our team handles the design, permitting, installation, and long-term care—giving you a turnkey, worry-free lighting experience.
