Services
Lighting
Cross Creek builds 2 lighting services in Spokane, Washington: Yard Lighting, Permanent Lighting.
Low-voltage landscape lighting and permanent architectural lighting, laid out during the design phase so conduit and fixtures go in before the pavers do — not chased in afterwards.
Yard Lighting
Permanent Lighting
Reference
What Each
One Is
- Yard Lighting
- In Eastern Washington it is dark by five for months of the year — which means lighting determines how much of your landscape you actually see. We design low-voltage systems that light the space rather than dotting the yard with fixtures.
- Permanent Lighting
- Permanent lighting is installed once under the eave and programmed from your phone — warm architectural light most of the year, holiday colour when you want it, and no ladder in December. It disappears into the trim during the day.
Common Questions
Lighting FAQs
We have a big project, but our budget only allows us to do part of it this year. How do you handle that?
That is not a problem at all. Many of our clients choose to do their landscape project in phases. If we know in the beginning that you would like to phase out your project, we can work with you on the best way to split the design so that it fits your budget for this year, and then plan the second half for next year.
How can I reserve a spot for next year?
We would love to get you on our calendar for next year! The first step would be to contact our office so we can take you through the design process. Once that is completed and you've signed off on the design, we normally request a deposit to reserve your spot with us.
Do you do concrete curbing?
We are a general contractor, so typically we hire subcontractors for certain types of work, which in our case would include concrete curbing. If you have a larger project, we would be happy to talk to you about how we can help coordinate all the work that goes into a complete landscape design so that you don't have to worry about any of that.
My project is small, but I really like your company, and would love to work with you. Do you take on smaller projects?
We do actually have a waiting list of smaller projects, and we would love to hear from you if you would like to work with our company. What we will do is save your information, and in the Fall or off-season if we have openings we will give you a call.
I have no idea what I want yet. Is it worth starting the process now?
Absolutely! Starting now can give you first pick on next year's calendar. If you're not ready to build yet we encourage getting a good design in place so that you can know what to expect. Please give us a call. We would be thrilled to walk you through ideas and concepts - we have lots of ideas!
How far will you travel?
Our main work takes place in Spokane and Kootenai counties. We also work in Bonner's County, ID. If you are in any of the neighboring counties and have a project that you are looking for help with, we would love to hear from you.
What style do you specialize in?
Because we are a custom builder, we have the great joy of adapting to your unique style. Although we recommend plants that are native to the Northwest, all of our builds are customized to your specific dream for the space. Our goal is to bring your ideas to life, the sky is the limit!
What if I don't want to do any maintenance on my yard?
There are so many options that are low maintenance and stay beautifully put together. From rock beds to dark mulch, we would love to talk to you about changing your landscape into something that is easily maintained, whether you are here for the entire year or visit back and forth and are only here part time.
What do your services include?
Great question! Our specialty is in landscape design and build, so generally spaces that benefit from a design in order to ensure that your backyard makeover comes to life exactly as you imagined it. We handle everything from the survey, to drawing up the design and blueprints, to the construction and final install. We do not provide lawn care maintenance, but we are happy to provide referrals.
How long does it take for you to finish a design?
Our typical design phase is approximately two weeks from the day we come take a survey. It can be faster, or longer depending on the size of the space we are designing and how many changes we discuss making along the way. But we will communicate throughout the process and work with you to provide the most efficient and streamlined service possible.
