Stiehl Falls put custom and semi-custom homes on half to three-quarter-acre lots off Cherry Lane, then planted more than a thousand trees and built waterfalls into the common ground. For a Nampa subdivision that is an unusual amount of deliberate landscape.

Most neighbourhoods have whatever trees the builders happened to put in. Stiehl Falls was planted deliberately and at scale, which means mature specimen trees throughout rather than in one corner. Wraps and uplighting on trees like these give a display vertical depth and a sense of place that a roof outline cannot approach, and on half-acre-plus lots that second and third point of interest is what keeps a display from looking small in a large frame.
Built water features mean moving and standing water in the common ground, and a lit tree or roofline beside water reads twice, directly and in reflection. Moving water fragments busy or flashing effects and makes them look restless, so warm steady light works considerably better here. Homes facing the water should consider whether that elevation carries as much of the display as the street side.
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. Everything attaches with clips on the shingle edge or gutter lip, so nothing is driven into fascia, shingles or trim on a custom home.
Custom and semi-custom construction means each roofline is its own problem: different pitches, peak arrangements, fascia details and gutter profiles. A neighbour's quote tells you little about yours, and each property is surveyed and measured on its own terms. On half to three-quarter-acre lots the viewing distance also favours bolder, simpler roofline work than a compact lot would.
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. Designs that use the trees take longer to plan and install, so September is the right time to ask. Nampa books through September and October, and December callers take what is left.

Deliberate landscape at scale. More than a thousand planted trees means mature specimens throughout rather than in one corner, which gives a display vertical depth and a sense of place a roof outline cannot approach.
Yes. A lit tree or roofline beside water reads twice, directly and in reflection, and moving water fragments busy or flashing effects, so warm steady light works considerably better here.
Little. Custom and semi-custom construction means different pitches, peak arrangements, fascia details and gutter profiles on every house, so each is surveyed and measured on its own terms.
On half to three-quarter-acre lots, usually yes. The viewing distance is longer and the frame is larger, so trees and approach work keep the display from looking small.
September. Designs that use the trees take longer to plan and install than a roofline alone, so the good dates for them go earliest.
