So you’ve finally made the determination to install landscape lighting. Great call! Few regret this improvement around their home.
Sure, you COULD install your own landscaping lights. You could just run to Home Depot and take a shot in the dark with the advice of someone who could very well know little-to-nothing about the topic at hand.
Yep, you could spend your whole weekend trying to lay them out and rig it up….only to discover it doesn’t look that great once the sun goes down. Or isn’t enough. Or doesn’t look the way you thought.
Here’s why our experienced landscape design team can make all the difference:

Reason: Installing outdoor lighting involves electrical work and technical considerations. Landscaping professionals are trained to handle electrical systems safely and efficiently.

While many DIY projects can be done reasonably well if well-researched, this is one of those projects where It can cost you twice as much to do it the wrong way. We hate to get the call saying, “I tried this and it isn’t turning out right”. Unfortunately, it means we have to tear it out at additional costs in order to correct the problems.
