What a display in Lake Quivira usually looks like.
Lake Quivira is a private community built around a lake, and almost nothing about it is flat. Homes sit on wooded, sloping lots that step down toward the water, with driveways that curve and climb and mature hardwoods over most of the roofs. Housing runs from mid-century lake houses to large custom builds, many with walk-out lower levels and decks on the water side. Because the canopy is so heavy, the roofline is often only half the display here. Wrapped trunks along the drive and lit entries frequently do more than the eaves, since the roof is partly hidden from the street to begin with.
What it costs to light a home in Lake Quivira.
$9 per foot of roofline. The roofline is the whole formula.
The older lake houses are modest, often 120 to 170 feet of street-facing roofline, so $1,080 to $1,530 at $9 a foot. Larger custom homes with multiple gables and side wings measure 200 to 280 feet, or $1,800 to $2,520. Many houses face the lake rather than the street, which means the elevation people see from the road is not always the main one, and we measure what you actually want lit. Wrapped trees at $150 each are the most common add-on in Lake Quivira, followed by path lights at $8 per foot on the sloped walks.

Where we work in Lake Quivira.
The community is gated, so access has to be arranged in advance and we plan our route inside the gate before we arrive. Roads follow the shoreline and the ridge above it rather than any grid, and the country club sits at the center of the community. From our shop in Mission it is about twenty minutes out past Shawnee. Once we are inside, we work several houses in one visit rather than coming and going through the gate.
- East shoreSteep wooded lots stepping down to the water with curving private drives.
- West shoreLarger custom homes on ridge lots, most facing the lake rather than the street.
- Country club areaThe center of the community; mixed older lake houses and newer builds.
- Dam endOpen ground with more wind exposure and less canopy than the wooded coves.
- Ridge streetsHigh lots above the lake with long sight lines and difficult ladder footing.
- Gate approachFirst streets inside the entrance, easiest access for install and takedown.
Three things to know about lights in Lake Quivira.
Tell the gate we are coming
Access is the first thing we sort out on a Lake Quivira job. Let the gate know our install date and crew so we are not sitting at the entrance, and we can get more houses done in the same visit.
Footing decides the ladder, not the roof
On these sloped, wooded lots the limiting factor is where a ladder can safely stand. We walk the footing first and will tell you up front if a section of eave cannot be reached without risk.
Let the trees carry the display
Heavy canopy hides a lot of roofline from the road. Wrapping two or three trunks at $150 each along a curving drive usually shows better here than adding another run of eave nobody can see.

Questions from Lake Quivira.
Can you get into Lake Quivira for an install?
Yes, with advance notice. Lake Quivira is gated, so we coordinate access before the install date and plan the route inside the gate. We schedule several homes in the same visit where we can, which keeps traffic through the entrance down and makes the day go faster for everyone.
Should I light the roof or the trees at my Lake Quivira home?
Often both, weighted toward the trees. Heavy canopy on these lots hides part of the roofline from the road, so a wrapped tree at $150 can outperform another thirty feet of eave. Send your address and we will price the roofline at $9 per foot and quote the tree work separately.
Is the slope at my Lake Quivira house a problem for installers?
It is the main thing we plan around. These lots drop hard toward the water and footing decides everything. We assess the ground before setting any ladder and we will tell you honestly if a section cannot be reached safely, rather than promising it and improvising on the day.
Will this damage my roof or gutters?
No. Plastic clips made for shingles and gutters. Nothing is stapled, nailed or screwed in, and nothing is left behind after takedown.
Do I have to take them down?
No. Takedown in January and storage are part of the $9 per foot. Next year is one text message.
