Coastal Lighting,
Expertly Designed

We focus on custom lighting design, meticulous detail, and fixtures built for salt air and storms—tying our creativity to real coastal conditions that matter to South Carolina homeowners.

Our story

Born from a respect for the dark.

High Tide began with a simple conviction: exceptional outdoor lighting should give life to your landscaping after dark. With over 15 years in the landscaping industry, Mike and Natalie have a love for exceptional landscaping, curated designs, and showing off your garden after the sun goes down. Homeowners spend a lot of money on their landscaping—whether it's hardscaping, gardens, pools, or decking—and it should be enjoyed after dark. That's where we come in! At High Tide, we study how your garden moves, how every plant catches light, and how your family enjoys the outdoors.
