Frequently Asked Questions
General Landscape Lighting Questions
What are the benefits of adding landscape lighting to my property?
Professionally installed landscape lighting adds beauty, safety, and value to your home. It enhances curb appeal, illuminates walkways, deters intruders, and allows you to enjoy outdoor areas after dark. Whether you're lighting trees, patios, or architectural features, the effect is dramatic and functional.
How much does a landscape lighting system cost?
Our new installations start at $2,750. Most residential projects fall between $4,000–$12,000, depending on property size, number of fixtures, and lighting technology. We offer standard LED systems, premium integrated fixtures, and smart color-changing options. For more information about our pricing visit our Learning Center.
Do you offer nighttime lighting demos?
Yes. We offer free nighttime lighting demos for qualified projects. We temporarily install a sample system at your home so you can see how the lighting will actually look before committing. Learn more about our nighttime demos in our Learning Center.
Are your lighting systems energy-efficient?
Yes — all of our systems use low-voltage LED fixtures that consume minimal power while delivering high output and long lifespan. LEDs run cooler, last longer, and cost less to operate than halogen.
Design & Planning Questions
Do I need a lighting design for a small project?
Yes — even smaller projects benefit from a professionally designed layout. We consider beam spread, fixture spacing, transformer placement, and long-term serviceability in every plan, so you get clean results that don’t waste light or energy.
What does a custom lighting plan include?
Our lighting plans include fixture placement, wire routing, transformer sizing, control zones, and recommendations for aesthetics and functionality. For more complex projects, we also offer 3D renderings and visual mockups.
How much does a 3D lighting design cost?
3D renderings typically range from $500 to $5,000, depending on project complexity. In some cases, we apply part of the design fee toward your installation if you move forward with us.
Installation & Equipment Questions
What types of lighting fixtures do you offer?
We install professional-grade path lights, spotlights, uplights, downlights, wall washes, niche lights, and hardscape fixtures. We use a combination of drop-in LED and integrated LED options, depending on your goals and budget. RGBW color-changing and tunable white options are also available. For more information on fixture-type, read our article in the Learning Center.
Will installation damage my yard?
No. We hand-trench all wire paths carefully, avoiding plant roots and hardscape. Trenches are backfilled the same day and usually blend in within 24–48 hours. We keep your property clean and respected. Learn more about what to expect during installation in the Learning Center.
Do you install smart lighting systems?
Yes. We offer smartphone-controlled lighting with dimming, color control, zone selection, scheduling, and even voice control via Alexa or Google Home. These systems are popular for clients who want full customization and automation. Learn more about our Premium RGBW package.
Can I add motion sensors or timers?
Absolutely. We offer photocells, motion sensors, and astronomical timers depending on your needs. We’ll help you choose the right control setup for your home and schedule.
Permanent Roofline Lighting & Outdoor Audio Questions
What is permanent holiday or roofline lighting?
Permanent lighting is a low-profile, color-changing LED system mounted along your home’s fascia. It’s nearly invisible during the day but can display millions of patterns and colors at night — from elegant warm white to full-on Christmas and holiday scenes. You control it all from your phone. For more information about Permanent Lighting, read our article in the Learning Center.
How much does permanent lighting cost?
Pricing starts around $30–$40 per linear foot installed. Most homes fall between $3,000–$8,000, depending on complexity, roofline length, and number of control zones. We also install permanent lighting on docks, patios, and pool enclosures. For a more detailed analysis, read our Article about pricing in the Learning Center.
Do you install outdoor audio systems?
Yes. We install landscape audio systems that include buried subwoofers and weatherproof satellite speakers. The result is full, even sound across your yard or pool area — all controlled from your phone or smart hub. Our systems are custom-designed to suit your outdoor layout.
How much does outdoor audio cost?
Most systems start around $3,000–$4,000 and can scale up depending on the number of zones, power requirements, and speaker count. We design everything to blend in and sound incredible.
Maintenance & Service Questions
Do landscape lights require maintenance?
Yes — even LED systems need periodic attention. We offer annual maintenance plans that include fixture cleaning, lens checks, lamp replacements, transformer testing, and system rebalancing. One-off tune-ups are also available. For more information about what maintenance is required, read our Article in the Learning Center.
Can you service systems installed by someone else?
In most cases, yes. If the wiring is intact and the transformer is safe, we can usually upgrade or service existing systems. We’ll perform a full inspection first and let you know what’s possible.
Do your systems come with a warranty?
Yes. Most fixtures carry a 5-year to lifetime manufacturer warranty. Our transformers and controllers are backed by factory warranties as well. Labor and installation are guaranteed by our workmanship policy. Learn more about Landscape Lighting Warranties, and how it all works.
