Outdoor lighting questions, answered.

Cost depends on your design — fixture count, zones, and scope. Because every property is different, we quote based on a real plan. A free consultation gives you clear pricing before any work begins. See our landscape lighting cost guide for what drives pricing.

Most residential installations are completed in one to a few days depending on scope. We'll give you a realistic timeline with your proposal so you know what to expect.

The main techniques are uplighting (trees, palms, facades), moonlighting (downlighting from above), path lighting, accent lighting, and grazing or washing for architectural texture. We layer these for depth. See our landscape lighting hub for the full range.

Yes. We retrofit older systems with efficient fixtures, smart controls, and modern transformers, often reusing existing wiring where it's sound. See our lighting upgrades page.

Yes. Smart systems allow app control, scheduling, automation, and scenes from anywhere. We specify capability based on your goals rather than a single brand. See our smart lighting hub.

Smart lighting adds a controller and connectivity so you can manage zones, scenes, and schedules from an app, and automate behavior like dusk-to-dawn or motion response. It runs on your property's power and network. We design it capability-first.

A seasonal inspection keeps fixtures aligned, clean, and working through foliage growth and storm season. We offer maintenance plans tailored to your system. See our maintenance guide.

Wet-rated fixtures, deck and perimeter lighting, and dimmable overheads for lanais. We coordinate with pool equipment and screen enclosures, and use coastal-grade hardware for saltwater pools. See our pool and lanai lighting pages.

Before storm season, inspect and secure fixtures, check connections, and confirm surge protection. After a storm, check for damaged fixtures and water intrusion. We offer post-storm inspection — see our storm-season maintenance guidance.

Yes. Lighting lives outside in heat, salt, and storms, so we offer ongoing maintenance and repair to keep systems working and looking right. See our repair and maintenance pages.

Yes, when it's done right. We use wet-rated fixtures rated for the zone they're in, follow proper clearance from water, and seal every connection. Safety around pools, lanais, and coastal wet areas is built into the design rather than added after.

Yes. We regularly repair, upgrade, and redesign systems regardless of who originally installed them — diagnosing what's worth keeping, what's failing, and what should change. See our lighting repair and upgrades pages.
