Landscape lighting questions Straight answers
What kinds of landscape lighting do you install?
Everything from subtle path lights to accent lighting and uplighting on the house, trees and stone, designed and installed by our own crew.
Does landscape lighting help with safety and security?
Yes. Lit walks, steps and entries are easier to see at night, and the property doesn't sit dark.
Can you add lighting to the landscape I already have?
Yes. We can light your existing landscape, or plan lighting into a new design or patio.
Can lighting go in with a new patio or landscape?
Yes, and it's the easiest time: cable goes in while beds and hardscape are open, and fixtures are placed on the same plan.
How much does landscape lighting cost?
It depends on the size of the property and the scope of work. We give you a free on-site estimate before any work begins, so you know what to expect before you commit.
Do you install landscape lighting in Spring Hill, Franklin and Brentwood?
Yes. From our yard on Mainsail Drive in Columbia, we work across Maury and Williamson counties, including Spring Hill, Thompson's Station, Franklin and Brentwood. The on-site estimate is free anywhere in that area.
Same crew, same schedule Add it to the same project
Lighting is easiest to run while beds and stone are going in. We plan it into your design, so you deal with one team.
