"The work was performed promptly and accurately. The systems were installed in 2008 and I use them every year for maintenance as well as opening and closing the sprinkler system. All of their employees have been knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I would heartily recommend them."

"Dane did an amazing job. He was extremely friendly, talked through options with us for exterior lighting, gave a fair price that didn’t require haggling and came out to install the lights a couple days later. I highly recommend."

"We began a project for exterior landscape lighting, but as we got to know Randy, Mike, and Green Light Design Group, we were so impressed with their capabilities, we substantially expanded our project from exterior lighting, into landscape design, adding gorgeous new plantings, install hardscape replacement, and other substantial improvements. This project was beyond successful. Added true value to our home. Top-notch customer-oriented people! A 5-Star rating is not enough!!!"

"The project went wonderfully. Miroslaw responded to my request within a half hour. He came out in 3 days and was prompt, courteous, and respectful. He gave me two quotes for the job--one if he could pull the new 10gauge wire through existing conduit and another if he had to install all new conduit. Unfortunately, the prior electrician abandoned my 220V line and we could not locate the conduit. So, Miroslaw had to run all new conduit down from the roof, 3 1/2 stories to the basement. He finished the project in a day, which was very impressive. The holes he had to cut in my plaster walls look like a surgeon did them; he was meticulous and tailored his cuts to just what he needed, making my plaster repair easier. Miroslaw also identified mistakes the previous electrician made. He explained them and charged me a nominal amount to fix them right then and there. Finally, Miroslaw kept the final price to the lower of the two quotes, even though he could have charged me for the more expensive one. He worked efficiently for 7.5 hours. I gave him coffee and water. I caught him eating his sandwich for lunch while he was working! He's hardworking, honest, friendly, and his work is great. I would recommend him to family and friends without reservation. Way to go Miroslaw!"

"Excellent. Serviceman came out and said we were fine. We didn't need any work at all and said he didn't want to do the work if it wasn't needed. It was so nice to have a man come out, give us his honest assessment, and be so kind. I ask you --does it get any better.? f you want an honest electrician, Widur is your guy."

"Although it was a little tough to connect in the beginning (due to summer rush and holiday weekend), once Maria and I connected, things went very smoothly.
She came to my house, measured and provided a quote in a very timely manner.  
I had to go through my HOA, and she was quite helpful. Providing the drawings and contacting J.U.L.I.E. as required by the HOA (and even coming out a second time to get additional details requested by the HOA).
We had set a tentative installation date (pending HOA approval) and were lucky that the HOA approval was received in the nick of time and the weather held out.
The crew showed up on time and worked tirelessly all day to complete the job. When they ran out of bricks, they went back out to buy more.  Maria  was there the entire time overseeing the work.  At one point we had an issue with the level of the patio where the base of the steps and the side of the house were out of sync (huge downward slope).  She noted the issue and provided a sound recommendation which I approved. At the end of the day, they cleaned up the entire area.  They had carefully removed sod, mulch and some of my plants to install the brick patio and when they were done installing, they replaced the sod, mulch and even replanted my flowers.  Impressive!!  Everything washed up (even the handprints on the staircase) and clean.  They were also very careful with the surrounding area.  I live in a townhouse and they used wheel barrels to bring in all the materials.  They were careful not to destroy any of the common area.  This is a huge plus and greatly appreciated.  
Overall, it was a very positive experience and I highly recommend LDP.  I love my new patio - even though it is small, it adds a whole new room for me outdoors.  Wish I could add pictures, it turned out great!!"

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Fox Lake, IL

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.
