Service Areas
Serving Charleston and select Lowcountry communities
Charleston remains the core service area for Ace Basin Landscape Lighting, with select Lowcountry projects available in nearby coastal and island communities.
Ace Basin Landscape Lighting is a local small business serving the Lowcountry, not an out-of-town lighting franchise or large regional contractor. We live and work here, so our lighting plans are built around Charleston homes, coastal conditions, live oaks, marsh edges, brick paths, porches, and the way Lowcountry properties are used after dark.
We also serve select Beaufort-area projects for homeowners looking for landscape lighting in Beaufort, SC, especially practical scopes such as new low-voltage lighting installation, existing-system repairs, maintenance, fixture replacement, LED upgrades, live oak uplighting, path lighting, and outdoor living area lighting.
Each area has its own outdoor lighting priorities, from live oak uplighting and brick pathway lighting to dock lighting, porch lighting, driveway lighting, patio lighting, and low-voltage system upgrades.
