"Excellent service and pricing. Did great job installing lights. Loved that they come out at night to display the lights so you can see the lighting effect at night. Also installed the lights at dusk to make sure they were aligned properly. Highly recommend them."

Customers say: Super punctual

"I have worked with Kevin several times over the past 25 years and have never been disappointed, hence, the 25 years of repeat business. Everything went great; my wife and I had a pretty good idea of exactly what she wanted and Kevin added his observations, comments, and suggested changes. (Kevin has never been bashful about his 2 cents) A final plan was defined and work began. Although heavy weather interrupted the work, Kevin said he would be finished in three workdays and he was. He has always been very professional, detailed, candid, and understanding, and an honest pleasure to work with. All service professionals wish that could be said about them."

Customers say: Quality work

"Chris and his team did an excellent job in installing landscape lighting and replacing two mature crate myrtle trees in my yard. He worked with me to determine the make and model of lighting I wanted, and then he and his team showed up the very next week to install. The final solution looks great!"

"Mr. Santos came out to the house to look at several landscaping projects that I had going on. He provided a competitive quote for the entire project and he offered to help me remove some branches off a tree in the front yard on the spot. He pruned the dead part of the tree and nicely stacked up the sticks and limb for the city to pick up. Very kind gentlemen and I plan to hire him again."

"Kale Lawn has maintained our yard for years, but we recently asked them to help update our landscaping. Jeff Kale and his team met with us several times and listened to our goals and ideas and came up with a great plan that we could see visually. They met with us again to go through the plan and executed the removal and replanting wonderfully. We are thrilled with our new landscaping and how painless the process was for us. Jeff's Kale's crew was so careful and hardworking and very respectful of our property. Their work was meticulous."

"The complete experience with Mister Sparky was very professional starting with the customer service reps, appointment scheduling and the high quality work completed by the service technician. The job included installation and wiring a ceiling fan, 2 flood lights, new fixtures, repairing outdoor outlets and inspection of the electrical panel. I would recommend this team for any job. Excellent work"

"I highly recommend Corona Landscaping!! They landscaped a large hill on our property (which included installing two sets of stairs), created a paved/brick walkway to match a patio already in place, and installed multiple drain lines to direct water on our property away from the driveway when it rains. Miguel and his crew are very professional, listened to our ideas and made wonderful suggestions regarding our projects. The crew worked continuously from beginning to end of the project until it was completed to our satisfaction. Wonderful experience overall, and will be contacting them for landscaping needs in the future!!"

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Charlotte, NC

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.
