West Austin · mature oak canopy and steep lots
Christmas light installation in West Austin, TX.
West Austin is older custom housing under a heavy oak canopy on some of the steepest residential lots in the county. Half the design problem here is simply getting the light out from under the trees so the house reads from the street.

What's different about West Austin
The house tells us how to light it.
Narrow winding streets and short sightlines mean a passing car sees the house for a few seconds from one angle. We design to that angle rather than to a straight-on photo of the front elevation.
Mature canopy blocks a lot of roofline from the road. On these lots, lighting the trees and the approach usually does more than adding another run of roofline the oaks will hide anyway.

West Austin questions
What homeowners here ask first.
Our oaks hide the roof from the street. What do you recommend?
Light what is actually visible. Trunk wraps, the drive and the entry generally beat a roofline the canopy covers for most of the season.
Do you work the steep Westlake and Rollingwood lots?
Yes. Steep grade and tight street access are normal here. Access gets planned at the walkthrough rather than discovered on install day.
Can you match an older custom home instead of a builder elevation?
Yes. Older West Austin homes rarely have the straight fascia runs newer builds do, so the design follows the architecture instead of fighting it.
