Frequently Asked Questions
How much does landscape lighting cost?
Landscape lighting projects typically range from $2,500 to $15,000 depending on the scope. A basic path and accent package starts around $2,500, while comprehensive whole-property systems with smart controls can reach $10,000-15,000. We provide free estimates.
Are LED lights worth the investment?
Absolutely. LED fixtures use 80% less energy than halogen, last 10-15 times longer, and produce better quality light. The upfront cost is slightly higher, but you’ll save significantly on energy bills and replacement costs over time.
Can you add lighting to existing landscapes?
Yes! We specialize in retrofitting lighting into established landscapes with minimal disturbance. Our low-voltage systems require small, easily concealed wiring that we route carefully around existing plants and hardscapes.
How are the lights powered?
We use low-voltage (12V) transformer systems that are safe, energy-efficient, and easy to maintain. The transformer connects to a standard outdoor outlet and powers all fixtures through buried low-voltage wire.
Do you offer maintenance for lighting systems?
Yes, we offer annual maintenance plans that include fixture cleaning, bulb replacement, timer adjustments, and system checks. Regular maintenance ensures your lighting continues to perform optimally.
How long do LED landscape lights last?
Quality LED landscape fixtures last 40,000-50,000 hours, which translates to 15-20+ years of typical evening use. This is 10-15 times longer than traditional halogen bulbs.
