The entrance is the first thing everyone sees on the way home. We light entry trees, monument signs, shrubs, and clubhouses for HOAs and neighborhoods across metro Atlanta, on a timer, with in-season fixes and January takedown. The board gets one itemized quote to vote on, and nobody has to recruit volunteers with a ladder.
Most neighborhoods have the same story. Somebody on the board, or a very kind neighbor, buys a few boxes of lights, drags an extension cord to the entrance, and wraps the two trees by the sign on a Saturday in December. Some years it happens. Some years it does not. Then someone has to take it down.
We take that off the board's plate. Here is what an entrance job can include:
Everything is held with clips and tension wraps. Nothing gets nailed or screwed into a sign, a column, or a tree, which matters when the property belongs to the whole community.
HOAs are everywhere in the metro, and the North Atlanta suburbs are full of them: Windward in Alpharetta, St. Ives and Country Club of the South in Johns Creek, and Polo Fields in Cumming, plus plenty of neighborhood entrances in Sandy Springs and Dunwoody. Some of the other dense subdivision areas we serve are Gwinnett County, Cherokee County, and the rest of North Fulton. Large planned communities around Peachtree City have their own entrances and shared spaces too.
Written and itemized, element by element, so the board can see what each piece covers and vote on one document.
Set at install. The entrance lights itself every evening without a volunteer flipping a switch.
Anyone on the board can text us a photo of a dark section. It goes on the next route.
Clips and tension wraps only. Signs, columns, and trees come out of January looking the way they went in.
The board's job is one vote and one contact person.
Most subdivision entrances have the same bones: a brick or stone sign with the neighborhood name, a couple of trees behind or beside it, and a bed of shrubs. Wrapped trunks on the entry trees give the entrance height. Light along the sign or the beds in front of it makes the name readable at night.
Warm white looks classic on brick and stone. Red and white trunk wraps are a fun choice for neighborhoods with lots of kids. The board picks, and we can suggest what will read best from the road.
A clubhouse is basically a house, so it gets lit like one. Roofline strands along the gutters, wrapped porch columns, a couple of lit trees out front. It gives the pool and tennis side of the neighborhood a reason to look festive too.
We treat it like a roofline install plus tree and shrub wrapping, all on the board's single quote.
The biggest question at most entrances is power. Some have an outlet at the sign. Some have one at the irrigation controller. Some have nothing. Before quoting, we ask where power is, because it decides what we can light and how far runs have to go.
Medians in the middle of the road are nice to light but often have no power at all. We will tell you honestly if a median is worth it or if the budget is better spent on the trees and sign at the edge.
Before the quote goes to a vote, it helps to have these answers ready:
With those settled, the quote is easy to approve and the install date is easy to pick. And when homeowners start asking who lit the entrance, they can text the same number for their own house.
What board members and property managers usually ask.
A few photos of the entrance from the road and from the sidewalk, the location, and a note about where power is. Many entrances have an outlet at the sign or near the irrigation box. If there is no power at the entrance, tell us, because that changes what is possible. The quote is free, written, and itemized.
Yes. Since every element is its own line, the board can vote on the entrance trees and sign first, then decide about the median shrubs or the clubhouse. Boards often like seeing a basic version and a fuller version side by side.
Whoever the board names, usually one board member or the property manager. That person gets the install date and the takedown date, and they can text us a photo if anything goes dark. One contact keeps it simple for everyone.
Yes. Homeowners can book their own roofline or whole-house package separately. Each home gets its own quote. It does not have to be tied to the entrance job.
Earlier than a homeowner, if possible. Boards often need a meeting to approve a quote, and install season runs from late October to about mid-December with the earlier dates filling first. Getting the quote in front of the board in late summer or early fall gives everyone time.
Text photos of your entrance, the location, and where power is to (470) 470-4485. We send a free, itemized quote the board can vote on. Install season fills from late October on, so the earlier a board decides, the better the date.
