Solitude Place sits between Meridian Road and Locust Grove south of McMillan, about 59 acres platted 2007 to 2014 across three phases and now fully built. Finished and mid-aged is a straightforward combination to design for.

Nothing is under construction, so access is predictable and a booked date holds. Meanwhile the planting, now between about eleven and eighteen years old, has reached the point where trunks carry a wrap convincingly and canopies are worth uplighting on the earlier streets. That gives designs a second vertical plane to work in, which is the single biggest step up available from a roofline-only display.
At this size the neighbourhood has streets people actually walk and drive in December rather than one loop off an arterial, so lit houses are seen by neighbours at close range. Close viewing is unforgiving: uneven spacing, a sagging run or one dark bulb all show from a few metres in a way they simply do not from a passing car. That makes measurement and cutting the difference between a professional result and a retail one.
Everything attaches with purpose-made clips gripping the shingle edge or the gutter lip, so nothing is driven into fascia, shingles or trim and nothing needs sealing after removal in January. Rooflines between about eleven and eighteen years are sound but no longer new, so the gutter lip and shingle edge get a look during the survey rather than an assumption.
Housing on this side tends upward, which puts the roofline that matters above safe ladder height and makes the January takedown a winter job at the same elevation. That is the practical reason owners here hire it out, and it also argues for restraint in the design: emphasising the main roofline and defining the entry peak reads better than outlining every edge available.
Holiday lighting is quoted per roofline after we measure, because linear footage and the count of peaks, dormers and returns matter far more than the square footage of the house. The quote covers design, installation, the lights, a timer, mid-season service, January takedown and summer storage. A finished neighbourhood means we can commit to a date rather than hedging against a building site. Meridian fills up in September and October, and December callers take whatever dates are left.

On most streets, yes. At eleven to eighteen years the trunks carry a wrap convincingly and canopies are worth uplighting on the earlier phases, which gives a design a second vertical plane.
It does. At 59 acres there are internal streets people walk in December, so your roofline is seen at close range where uneven spacing or a single dark bulb shows in a way it never does from a passing car.
A look during the survey. Eleven to eighteen years is sound but past new, so the gutter lip and shingle edge get checked because clips transfer load directly to those parts.
On the two-story plans common off McMillan, rarely, and the January takedown happens at the same height in worse weather. That is the honest reason most owners hire it out.
Yes. Nothing here is under construction, so there is no building site to hedge against and what we survey in September is what we install in November.
