Lighting West Boise and Ustick homes
West Boise off Ustick, Cole and Five Mile is a mix of 1970s through 1990s single-level homes on flat, level lots. Those rooflines are low and shallow, which means a single line of bulbs sits close to the ground and does not carry a display on its own the way a two-story foothills roof does.
The answer is layering downward. A front roofline plus wrapped porch posts, lit shrubs along the front bed and a wreath at the entry gives the house three heights of light instead of one. On a flat lot that is the difference between a display that looks finished and one that looks like an outline.
Trees here are often large and well established, especially in the older streets, so trunk wraps are one of the highest-value additions we make in this part of town.
Street lighting is heavier in West Boise than in the foothills, so warm white tends to read better than cool white — cool tones can look washed out under sodium and LED streetlights. We talk that through during the walkthrough rather than defaulting to one color.

West Boise and Ustick questions
- My house is single-level — is it worth hiring someone?
- Most of our West Boise customers say the value is in the design and the service, not just the ladder work. Layered lighting on a flat lot is easy to get wrong and looks obviously better when it is right.
- Warm white or multicolor out here?
- Either works, but warm white holds up better under the heavier streetlighting along Ustick and Cole. Multicolor reads best when it is paired with wrapped trees.
- Do you cover the whole Ustick corridor?
- Yes, from Cole out past Five Mile and the west bench, on our daily Boise route.
Services we bring to West Boise and Ustick
- Rooflines, peaks & gutter linesRoofline lighting is the backbone of almost every display we install: custom-cut strands clipped along your gutters, eaves and peaks so the lines read straight from the street.
- Trees, shrubs & wrapsWrapped trunks, lit canopies and glowing shrub beds give the front of a house depth that a roofline alone cannot — especially on wide or flat lots.
- Wreaths, garland & columnsWreaths, garland and wrapped columns are the detail work that makes an entry feel finished, and they are what photographs best up close.
- RGBW smart-controlled C9 bulbsOur RGBW smart-controlled C9 bulbs give you app-controlled color and patterns on a seasonal display that still comes down and gets stored in January.
