"Matt was very professional, efficient with his time, competitively priced, and amicable. He avoided many things that we discovered in the ground, even after private utility location. I would absolutely hire him again for future projects and would refer him to anyone needing an excavation operator with refined skills. Thanks, Matt! Five Stars!"

I am very reasonable and open to discuss prices. I guarantee you will be happy with the price we can agree on for quality hard work. We offer free on-site estimates as well. Our goal is to keep an ongoing relationship with each client and maintain positive communication with the upmost respect. Which is one of the reason's we decided to add "Family" to our company name. We hope to hear from you soon !
"Referrals are everything in this business and I must thank the man who referred Thalia to me. Thalia is on top of things like nobody else. When the team comes though it's like they can read my mind and then some. Every time they do a job on our property, it's finished better than I wanted it and I'm pretty particular about what I want. In fact, I just asked for an estimate on storm damage to my fence. Even though I hired them as landscapers, they are so fastidious that I had to see if they would be willing to do other things for the house. But back to the initial landscaping, my backyard was transformed from a spacious but uneven, boring mess into a magical, balanced space I'd be perfectly happy to have a wedding at. Just fantastic and the quote would've still been reasonable for a job 25% smaller than what they did for me. And they just did the fall cleanup too. if a yard could have that new car smell, mine would have it still. Sincerely, Kristen and family. Briercrest neighborhood."

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.
