Evergreen Contracting & Irrigation installs landscape lighting for homes in Avon. This is a settled community on the eastern edge of Lebanon. It mixes older homes and postwar builds on modest lots. Houses sit close and streets run on a grid. All of that shapes how a system goes in. Free estimates arrive within a week, and repairs are scheduled in 1 to 2 weeks.
What We Bring to the Work Here
Evergreen Contracting & Irrigation has worked across Central PA since 2001. The crew brings more than 60 years of combined experience to the job. We read the property before choosing a fixture, because the house sets the terms. Handled well, the building holds its shape at night and the walk in stops being a guess. Estimates are free and reach you inside a week. Repairs are booked in 1 to 2 weeks.
On the Edge of the City
The community sits just east of the city of Lebanon, split between South Lebanon and North Lebanon townships. It takes in the neighborhoods of Avon and Avon Heights on a footprint of well under two square miles.
This is close-in ground where the city gives way to neighborhoods. Homes here range from older frame and brick to postwar builds. The lots are compact, and that compactness is what a plan has to work with.
What a System Delivers
On a small lot every fixture has a clear job, and the result shows quickly. Nothing on the way to the door should have to be found by feel. Here is what the work covers:
- A house that reads clearly from the street at night
- No corner of the lot left as a dark pocket
- Firm footing on steps, walks, and the driveway
- Outdoor space that still works past sunset
- Brick, stone, and planting that keep their detail
Irrigation is our other trade. Both systems go onto one plan, and the same crew knows every run in the ground.
One Block, Several Eras of House
A single street here can hold an older brick home beside a mid-century build beside something newer. Each takes light differently, so one formula does not fit the block.
Old brick has texture that rewards a low raking angle. Smooth modern siding wants a softer, flatter wash. Treat them the same and one of them looks wrong. We read the material on each house rather than repeating a plan down the street. Every home then reads right for what it is.
Small Lot, Fewer Fixtures
The instinct on a compact lot is to add fixtures until the yard is full. That is usually the wrong move. A small property rewards restraint, not volume.
We work the entry, the walk, and the front of the house first. That is what a visitor sees. The edges get a light touch to give the lot some depth. Four or five well placed fixtures do more here than a dozen scattered around. The result looks considered rather than crowded.
Keeping Light Off the Neighbors
Lots this close together mean a carelessly aimed fixture puts light where it is not wanted. On a friendly, settled street that is worth avoiding.
We aim and shield everything so your light stays on your own ground. Nothing crosses into a neighbor’s window or washes over their lawn. Where a tree or feature sits near the property line, we angle the source inward. The spread stays tight. Good work here is the kind the people next door never have to think about.
The Block Foundation That Shows
Many homes here sit on a concrete block foundation. A foot or more of it often shows above grade. Nobody chose that as a feature. It is simply where the wall starts.
Put an uplight tight against the wall and the first thing it hits is that block. Raking light across it picks out every joint and makes it the brightest band on the house. We start the beam above the block line instead, or pull the source back so the throw clears it. Low planting along the base handles whatever is left.
A Second Door That Gets Used
Plenty of homes here have a side or rear door the household uses far more than the front. It often sits down a narrow passage with poor footing, and it usually gets no light at all.
We treat that door as the real entrance it is. A small shielded fixture above or beside it makes the arrival safe after dark. Something low along the path in finishes the job. The front door still gets its due. But the door you actually walk through no longer sits in the dark.

Frequently Asked Questions
Every house on our block is a different style. Will the light match?
It shapes how each one gets lit rather than forcing them to match. Old brick takes a low raking angle that shows its texture, while smooth modern siding wants a softer wash.
We read the material on your house rather than repeat one formula down the street. That way your home looks right for what it is. The block still reads consistently, since the overall approach stays the same. The differences work in your favor.
Our lot is small. Is there much to light?
More than you would think, though restraint is the key. Small lots often finish better than large ones, because every fixture has a clear job.
We work the entry, the walk, and the front of the house. Filling the whole lot is not the goal. A few well aimed fixtures do more here than a dozen scattered around would. Close neighbors also mean we keep light off their windows, which shapes where things go.
Will our light bother the neighbors?
Not the way we design it. We aim and shield every fixture so your light stays on your own ground. Nothing crosses into a window or over a lawn next door. On a close street, that care matters as much as the light itself.
Our foundation block shows above the ground. Can that be hidden?
Largely, yes. A fixture set tight against the wall lights that block first. We start the beam above the line or pull the source back. Low planting finishes it. You can see the standard in our low voltage work.
How quickly can a repair be scheduled?
Inside 1 to 2 weeks. Most faults trace to a connection, a knocked fixture, or a lamp at the end of its life. Our repair team carries the usual parts.
