Quick Start Landscape Lighting for the Hamptons.
A focused design-and-installation path for one clearly defined area: a front walk, entry, driveway, pool path, patio, backyard zone, or an existing system that needs thoughtful improvement.
A single space, considered.
Quick Start is the right path when the project is contained, the goal is clear, and you want a thoughtful recommendation, an honest budget, and a beautiful result without a longer design phase.
A specific place to address.
- ·“The front walk needs lighting.”
- ·“The driveway feels too dark.”
- ·“We want something nicer near the pool.”
- ·“The backyard goes black after sunset.”
- ·“Our existing lighting has aged out.”
- ·“A few accents around the patio.”
Properties asking for a plan.
- ·Whole-property and estate lighting
- ·New construction or major renovation
- ·Multiple areas considered together — pool, garden, drive, architecture
- ·Coordination with an architect, landscape designer, or builder
- ·Waterfront properties and projects with deeper design intent
- ·When you'd like to see a plan before approving install
What a project tends to cost.
Pricing depends on the property. The ranges below are honest starting points — drawn from the kind of work we do most often.
Pathway Refresh
The walk from the car to the door — lit so guests can move easily and the home reads warmly from the street.
Front Entry Upgrade
Façade, drive markers, and a feature tree or two — the lighting that shapes how the house meets the night.
Backyard & Pool
The pool path, the deck, the patio, the side yard — lit so the evening doesn’t end at sundown.
System Refresh
When the original lighting has aged out — fixtures dimmed, aiming off, wiring tired — a quiet refresh that brings the system back into form.
These are planning ranges, not fixed package prices. Final pricing is set after we walk the property and review fixture quantity and finish, wiring and transformer needs, trenching, site access, restoration, controls, required electrical work, and the condition of any existing system.
Less complicated, more considered.
Quick Start moves quickly because the scope is honest. Here is what every project includes — and what we save for Full Design, where it belongs.
Beautifully finished work.
- A site visit and a thoughtful scope review
- A clean proposal with honest pricing, typically within 24–48 hours
- Coastal-grade fixtures from Coastal Source and our preferred makers
- Properly sized transformers and tidy low-voltage wiring
- Lighting installation managed and completed by our team, with licensed trade coordination where required
- Final aiming returned to after dark — the moment that decides the result
- A walkthrough with you when the system is dialed in
- Optional Brilliance Care™ enrollment to keep it looking right
When the project asks for more.
- A fixture-by-fixture lighting plan and layout
- A detailed bill of materials and transformer schedule
- Lighting zones, control programming, and scene design
- Coordination drawings for builders, landscape designers, and electricians
- Multiple revision rounds during the design phase
- Renderings or photo-realistic nighttime visualizations
- A phasing strategy across the entire property
- Architect and designer collaboration sessions
Four steps to a beautifully lit result.
From first call to final aiming, most Quick Start projects move in two to four weeks — depending on schedule and material lead times.
A short conversation.
We talk briefly about the area you'd like to address — what's there now, what you'd like it to feel like, and whether the lighting is for safety, atmosphere, or both. Five or ten minutes is usually enough to confirm the right path.
A visit to the property.
A senior member of our team walks the property, measures distances, photographs conditions, and reads the architecture and landscape carefully. For qualified Quick Start opportunities, the visit is complimentary.
A proposal, typically within 24–48 hours.
Scope, fixture range, transformer and control needs, installed price, and one optional upgrade — presented as a single page, not a fixture spreadsheet. Honest pricing means no surprises.
Install, then aim after dark.
Once the proposal is approved, we reserve an installation window. The system is installed by our own team, returned to that night for final aiming, and walked through with you so you see exactly what the property looks like — finished.
More than a sales call.
A senior designer arrives at the time of evening the property will be used, walks it carefully, measures distances, photographs conditions, and reads how the architecture and landscape want to be lit. We come to listen — to what you'd like the space to feel like — and to look closely at trees, sightlines, fixture conditions, transformer locations, and the practical realities of the property.
For qualified Quick Start opportunities, the site visit is complimentary and carries no pressure. We'd rather earn a project by reading the property well than by rushing toward a yes.
Schedule a Site VisitWhen the property is asking for a plan.
Some properties make their preference plain. If any of the following describes yours, the design path will give you a more considered result.
-
ifthe project spans multiple areas of the property at once.
-
ifthe home is in new construction, mid-renovation, or the landscape is still being designed.
-
ifan architect, landscape designer, or builder is involved and lighting needs to coordinate with their work.
-
ifthe property sits on the water, at estate scale, or carries design intent that should be planned together rather than handled area by area.
-
ifyou'd like to see a plan, fixture layout, or rendering before approving the install.
-
ifthe project will likely phase over multiple seasons and benefits from a master plan now.
A few details, before we begin.
The answers below explain where Quick Start fits, how pricing works, and what to expect after the first conversation.

to improve after dark.
We'll walk the space, listen to what you'd like, and follow up with a thoughtful proposal — typically within 24–48 hours of the visit.
