What's different about lighting a home in Lafayette
Oaks are the main event
A wrapped valley oak is spectacular, but big trees take a lot of lights and labor. They're often priced separately from the roofline.
Sloped lots
Hillside driveways and uneven ground make ladder setup slower and more careful. Expect the installer to look at access before pricing.
Homes set back from the street
When the house sits behind trees, lighting the driveway, the entry and one tree near the road can matter more than the roofline.
Downtown lights
The Lafayette Chamber of Commerce funds the downtown holiday lights. For your own business, see commercial lighting.
Lighting a home among the oaks
In much of Lafayette, the trees are bigger than the houses. A design that works with that, such as one dramatically wrapped oak, a lit path up the drive and a warm white roofline, usually beats trying to outline everything. Mini lights wrapped tightly on the trunk and main limbs look best; loose strands on a big canopy can look thin.
Because of slopes and tall trees, the installer will usually want to see the property (or good photos) before quoting. Sending photos with your request speeds that up.
Permanent lighting on Lafayette homes
If ladders on a sloped lot every December don't appeal, permanent lighting under the eaves is installed once and controlled from an app, and it works as everyday accent lighting the rest of the year.

Christmas lights in Lafayette: common questions
How much does it cost to wrap a large oak tree?
It depends on trunk size, height and how far up the limbs the lights go. Big oaks are usually quoted separately from the roofline. Ask for the tree as its own line item.
Can you light a house on a steep lot?
Usually, yes. Slopes take more careful ladder or lift setup, which the installer will factor in. Photos of the property help get an accurate quote.
Do you serve Moraga and Orinda?
Choose "Other nearby" on the request form or call to ask whether those areas are covered.
