Evergreen Contracting & Irrigation designs and installs landscape lighting for homes across Salunga and Landisville. This is an area where old village streets sit right beside newer neighborhoods, and each calls for a different touch. We design around your specific house, not a formula. Free estimates arrive within a week, and repairs get scheduled in 1 to 2 weeks. Reach out and let us light up your home.
Two Villages That Grew Together
These were once separate towns barely a mile apart, each with its own loyalties and its own rivalry with the other. Salunga grew up along the railroad, while Landisville took shape along the old turnpike. Today most people here just say Hempfield and leave it at that. The history still shows in the streets, though.
That shared past left a real mix of properties behind. A 19th-century village house can sit a block from a subdivision built in the last twenty years. We treat each one on its own terms rather than applying the same plan everywhere. Knowing the difference is half the work.
Old Village Homes Beside New Construction
The older village houses tend to sit close to the street on narrow lots. Those need precision, with narrow beams and low mounting to shape a facade without spilling next door. Grazing light along brick brings out texture that flat daylight hides. Warm color temperatures suit older materials far better than cool white.
Newer homes are a different problem entirely. Wider frontages and attached garages mean the driveway matters as much as the front door. Those facades want several lower-output fixtures spaced evenly rather than one bright one. Same neighborhood, two completely different approaches.
Homes Along the Old Harrisburg Pike
Harrisburg Pike follows the route of the old King’s Highway, one of the earliest roads through this part of the country. Properties along it have been watching traffic go by for a very long time. That exposure means your front elevation is seen constantly. Good lighting turns it into an asset after dark.
We use shielded fixtures so your design reads as warm and private rather than competing with passing headlights. The front walk and entry stay clearly defined for anyone pulling in. Where a property sits closer to the road, we keep glare off the pavement entirely. It is lighting that works in a real-world setting.
Backyards Built for Family Time
Life here revolves around the park and the schools more than anything else. That community habit carries straight into the back yard, where patios and play space see steady use. Lighting stretches those hours well past dinner. Kids finish a game and adults linger at the table.
We light seating areas at a level where conversation feels natural, never glaring. Grill zones, steps, and gates get practical light where you need it. Nothing that bothers the neighbors on either side. Just a back yard you actually use after sunset.
Practical Light for Everyday Use
Before the decorative work, the routes you walk daily need to be safe. The path from the driveway, the back steps, the side entry, these are where people misstep. We light those first and light them consistently. Accent work comes afterward.
Path lights get spaced so their pools overlap instead of leaving dark gaps between them. Those gaps are exactly what causes a stumble. Motion fixtures handle spots you visit only occasionally. Timers cover the rest so nothing runs longer than needed.
Built for Lancaster County Weather
Summers here bring humidity and sudden storms, and winters bring ice and repeated freezing. We install weather-rated fixtures with sealed connections that handle both. Low-voltage LEDs give warm, steady light while using very little power. Operating cost stays minimal and failures stay rare.
Placement accounts for how a yard fills in through the growing season. A fixture swallowed by shrubs in July is money wasted. If anything shifts, our crew comes back and corrects it. Follow-through is part of the job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you light older village homes and newer builds differently?
Yes, quite differently. Older homes on narrow lots need precision and warm tones. Newer wide facades need evenly spaced fixtures. We plan for the house in front of us.
My home sits close to the Pike. Will lighting still show?
It will, with shielded fixtures. We keep glare off the road and light on your property. The design reads warm and private. Headlights will not wash it out.
Can you light a patio for family gatherings?
That is one of our most common requests. Seating areas get comfortable, low-glare light. Steps and grill zones get practical light too. Neighbors are not disturbed.
Should the driveway be lit before the front door?
Often yes, if that is how you come and go. We light the routes you use nightly first. The front elevation still gets curb appeal treatment. Both get handled properly.
How soon can we get an estimate?
Free estimates arrive within a week of your call. Most installs then take one to three days. You get a clear timeline before we begin. Our crew works efficiently and cleans up fully.
