Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DOES THE CONSULTATION PROCESS WORK?

We schedule a time to meet with you at your home, and our lighting designer will put together a custom design for your home and yard. From there, we create a proposal on site and review it with you. Most of our clients move forward that day and will get scheduled for a professional installation with our certified lighting technicians.

ONCE WE SAY “YES”, HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MY LIGHTS ARE INSTALLED?

Our average lead time is one to two weeks.

HOW LONG DOES THE INSTALLATION TAKE?

A typical installation will take about a working day. A larger installation can take anywhere from two to four days.

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE COST?

While every lighting design is customized to the home, a good way to ballpark your outdoor lighting investment is to calculate about ½ a percent to 1 percent of your property value.

WHAT IS YOUR WARRANTY?

The cast brass fixtures and professional grade transformers that we use, we provide a lifetime warranty. Our LED elements are warranted for five years. We also have an annual maintenance plan available for continued service and maintenance. For more information, click here.
