Why the low-cost lighting kits fail

Fixtures and connections

Brass and copper fixtures with waterproof connections last decades. Plastic kits fail in two winters.

Voltage drop

Runs have to be calculated and wire sized correctly, or the far end of the yard is noticeably dimmer.

Aiming after dark

We come back at night to aim every fixture. Lighting set in daylight is always wrong.

Outdoor lighting questions

Ask us an outdoor lighting question

Ask us(402) 676-5579

What does landscape lighting cost?

It scales with fixture count. A meaningful front-and-back system is a mid four-figure to low five-figure project.

Is it expensive to run?

No. LED fixtures draw very little, so a fully lit property costs a few dollars a month.

Can you add to my existing system?

Usually, if the transformer has capacity and the wire is sound. We test both before quoting.

Will it disturb the neighbors?

Not if it is aimed properly. Shielded fixtures light your yard, not their bedroom window.

Do fixtures need maintenance?

Occasional re-aiming as plants grow, and a connection check every few years. Quality fixtures rarely fail.
