Typical Timelines & Investment

Budgeting: Driven by fixture count/quality, run lengths (voltage drop), control type (smart vs timer), and integration with new hardscape work.

FAQ for Landscape Lighting

How many lights can I run on a transformer?
It depends on the transformer’s VA rating and the total wattage of your fixtures. We size with 20–30% headroom and balance runs to minimize voltage drop.
What color temperature should I choose?
Warm 2700–3000K feels natural and welcoming. We may use 4000K for stone accents or water features where a crisp white is desired.
Will LED lighting increase my electric bill?
LED systems are efficient—often pennies per night for typical residential scenes, especially with photocells and scheduling.
Can you add lights to an existing patio or wall?
Usually yes—we core or tuck under‑cap fixtures and run new sleeves or concealed wiring paths to keep it clean.
How does winter affect the system?
Fixtures are outdoor‑rated. We avoid rock salt near metal, use proper sealants, and mount to prevent snow shovel damage on steps.
What maintenance is required?
Occasional cleaning of lenses, plant pruning around fixtures, and a quick check of connections. We offer seasonal tune‑ups and aiming resets as landscapes mature.
