FAQ’s

Can you provide references?

Of course, we’re happy to!

Do you carry liability insurance?

Yes. What’s more. Our policy is specially written to cover outdoor lighting installations and indoor holiday decorating.

About how much will it cost to light my property?

Each installation is customized to the property or business. You can invest as much, or as little as you want. Each proposal is presented with a number of options. Moreover, we can stage the installation over a number of years as your foliage matures. Most landscape lighting installations start at $1,500.

Do we own the lights or are they rented to us?

You own all the year-round outdoor landscape lights that we install. The lights and other materials we use for holiday installations are leased to you

Will we need an electrician?

In most cases, No. Almost 100% of the lights we install are low voltage – LED. But in very large installations, additional power sources may be needed. We’ll survey your electrical and let you know in advance.

What’s the difference between landscape lighting and architectural lighting?

Good question. While the terms are often used interchangeably, the primary purpose of architectural lighting is to feature specific aspects of a structure (such as your home). Some of the tricks of the trade are: using consistent illumination between fixtures, hiding lights behind shrubs, and, to the extent possible, using gentle, indirect lights that also help light walkways, patios, decks and other spaces more pleasantly than using larger flood lights. Landscape lighting on the other hand refers to illuminating outdoor space such as footpaths, gardens, shrubs, trees, patios, walkways, swimming pool areas, and outside decks. The secret to landscape lighting is to use indirect light wherever possible: They should never shine down on people with enough illumination to make them have to look away, lights should be used to create ambiance; and lights should be hidden to the extent possible – in or close to the ground. As a rule of thumb, multiple small gentle lights are usually better than one big bright light.
