"I received a call back almost immediately. John came out within 48 hours. He listened carefully to what I wanted (update and revitalize my 18 year old pool area lighting). He gave suuggestions on simplification of my current system as well as making it more economically efficient to run with upgraded LED lighting. The work was done within a couple weeks and it is beautiful. My experience was excellent and I wouldhighly recommend John and Landscape Lighting Specialists"

"I expected the job to be $200, and it wound up being $800. It wasn't their fault at all, but the company that re-leveled our driveway damaged part of my system, so a whole section of the system didn't work. They did a really good, and will be using them in the future."

"All I can says is Thank you to Daily Rain.
They were the utmost professional from start to finish.
I contacted Daily Rain because of some of the reviews I read.  I'm glad I did.
When I first contacted them, the person on the phone was very easy to talk with and explained to me the process.  I arranged to meet with Jerry, the owner, at my property to explain my needs.
I told him I wanted a sprinkler system and then drainage for some of my downspouts including the sump pump drain pipe.
After he gave me the quote, including the Angie's List Discount, I signed up.  
I originally scheduled the install for July 17, Rick who was the lead installer called me the day before asking if we could start.  Unfortunately we were out of town on Vacation, but it is very refreshing to have a company offer the start of a job ahead of schedule.
Unfortunately, we asked him to start on the 17th.  When they did they were as professional as they get.  The arrived, and explained to me what they were going to do.  Afterwards they gave me a quick rundown of the equipment and how to do the basic stuff.
I'm very pleased with the setup and my new SOD is also!!
I will definitely contact Daily Rain in the future, especially for maintenance of my system.

"Came out and gave me a quote right away. They work with you and around your schedule. Came out with a whole crew and installed sod quickly and right. Cleaned up after themselves and left. I would definitely use them again."

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Ann Arbor, MI

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.
