Common Questions

Landscape Lighting FAQ

What type of lighting systems do you install?

We install professional-grade low-voltage LED systems that are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and designed for outdoor use. LED fixtures use up to 75% less energy than traditional halogen landscape lights and last significantly longer.

How long does landscape lighting installation take?

Most residential landscape lighting projects complete in 1–2 days. Larger properties with extensive lighting plans may take 2–3 days. Pool lighting is typically installed during pool construction or as a separate project.

Can lighting be added to an existing landscape?

Yes. We can add lighting to any existing landscape without major disruption. Low-voltage wiring is run underground with minimal disturbance to existing plantings and hardscape.

What does landscape lighting cost on Long Island?

Landscape lighting costs typically range from $3,000–$15,000+ depending on property size, number of fixtures, and the complexity of the design. We provide detailed written estimates before any work begins.
