"Josh and Virgil were great!! We recently had and old railroad tie retaining wall replaced with a beautiful hardscaped wall and it turned out great!! This was only the first of many projects that we will have done by A Plus Landscaping, they truly live up to their name! Both of these guys were punctual, putting in full days of work to get the job done in a timely manner. They cleaned up after the job and left us satisfied! Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for hardscaping!"

"After meeting with a number of other contractors for our project, we decided to hire MD Construction. We hired MD Construction to replace the failing retaining wall in our driveway as well as installing steps to a paved pathway that leads to our yard. We met with Miguel (the owner of the MD Construction) and he is very knowledgeable with the process and materials involved. They gave us a great price and provided us with a copy of their insurance and NJ contractor’s license. When they started the work, we had very bad rainstorms the entire week, which made their job even harder. However, they were diligent and professional throughout the process and completed the project on time and within budget. The wall looks great and is an appealing improvement to the home. We will be using them again to replace our patio in our backyard."

"My husband I contacted three landscaping companies in early February. Out of the three, two took some pictures and answered our questions, but they never got back to us with an estimate. Reggie was the last to meet with us due to scheduling problems. When he met with us, he took the time to describe what he envisioned for our flowerbeds and was able to give us an estimate that day. The project began on May 24th and was completed the next day. The flowerbeds in the front of the house were overgrown and/or dead. Reggie and his employee, Nick, tore out everything and proceeded to edge, plant shrubs and perennials. He also trimmed our dwarf cherry tree, cleaned up the beds and spread mulch. In addition, he also planted four cypresses on our properly line to give us a little privacy. We are pleased with the end result. Reggie is a professional and we recommend him for any landscaping projects."

"Michael and his crew did a very professional job on the new electric service and new electrical panel.  They paid attention to the little details that made the installation look good.   He also gave us much better price than a few of our other quotes.  Planning to use him again if needed."

"The electricians checked out the space and explained what they would be doing and went to work.  I asked them to space the pot lights so when I was ready to put a ceiling fan in, it would be spaced just right.  The fishing of the wiring was pretty cool to watch as it is definitely an art form.  The pot lights look amazing and the track lighting in my hall and kitchen just brightens up the area so much better than the fixtures that were there.  After the work was done, they cleaned up an off they went.

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Akron, PA

Permit requirements for outdoor lighting vary depending on your location and project scope. Simple fixture replacements don't require permits, but projects involving new electrical circuits, extensive trenching, or significant system expansions often do. Local building departments establish these requirements, and many professional electricians handle permit applications as part of their service package.

The timeline for outdoor lighting installation varies based on project complexity. Basic systems might require only one to two days for complete installation, while extensive lighting networks with numerous fixtures and complex wiring needs could extend to a week or longer. Weather conditions, property accessibility, and soil characteristics can all influence how quickly professionals can complete your installation.

Outdoor lighting offers both practical and aesthetic benefits that many homeowners find valuable. Beyond enhancing nighttime visibility and security, well-designed lighting can highlight architectural features and extend outdoor living hours. While installation represents a significant investment, quality lighting may potentially increase property appeal and could contribute to overall home value.

Some outdoor lighting projects are suitable for homeowner installation, particularly simple solar fixtures or low-voltage systems that plug into existing outlets. However, projects requiring new electrical connections, permanent wiring, or integration with home electrical systems demand professional expertise. Electrical work carries inherent safety risks, and improper installation could create fire hazards or code violations.

The operating cost for outdoor lighting depends primarily on your fixture types, bulb selection, and usage patterns. Energy-efficient LED fixtures consume significantly less electricity than traditional incandescent or halogen alternatives. Controlling your lighting with timers, photocells, or motion sensors can further reduce energy usage by ensuring lights operate only when needed or beneficial.
