"Craig creatively transformed a backyard that was dramatically changed by the removal of diseased trees and stumps into a piece of art that provided both beauty and privacy. In order to formulate his landscaping design he spent a considerable amount of time evaluating the yard from all different angles. His strategic installation of a 6' fence and a variety of 14 shade and ornamental trees was well beyond our expectations. Along with the transformation Craig significantly improved the drainage and created a yard anyone would be proud."

"An amazing experience for my landscape lighting. From sales to scheduling to installation... All around a terrific experience and one that we’ve become used to with Tanzer. In the past, they've installed and modified our irrigation to perfection as well. The installers didn’t make a complete mess of the property, especially when they were digging the trenches. The sod was put back nicely, which is a HUGE deal for me. And they took their shoes off to go into the basement after working in mulch, grass and dirt. If you're looking for a landscape lighting and/or irrigation professional, they're the BEST!"

"Very well. Minimized cost by reusing line from old outlet while making sure any safety or standards concerns were properly addressed. Their price was well below two other companies that came and provided an estimate. On time for both visits (estimate and work) and cleaned up perfectly. Estimate proposal clear and complete as to all work. My only complaint is they did not accept American Express credit card."

"They were the most expensive quote I received however you get what you pay for, phenomenol job! Pavers lifted to install across the driveway and he cut the top of the mailbox to install fixture. He did the work himself and did not send workers. Highly recommend and worth the wait."

"Owner, James Newman responded to our request for service quickly and scheduled an appointment at our convenience. The Technician/Installer Dave arrived on schedule and performed the task efficiently and neatly. He was professional, polite and personable. Very satisfied with the work done. We are having them do additional work next week. So glad we used Angie's list to locate them."

"Mr Schultz called me back promptly after leaving a message for an estimate. He came for the estimate the next day. As I was telling him what work I wanted done he made suggestions because of codes and accessibility of the wires. A few days later he and Ben arrived on time. They took some time planning what they were to do and then got to work. Fishing the wires through the walls was, I think, the hardest thing they had to do. They worked well together with one in the attic or basement and the other in the kitchen, communicating through the walls. 
As they were working I would ask them questions and make suggestions. They both stopped what they were doing so they could respond to my concerns. Schultz Brothers Electric in my opinion is a top notch company that really cares about their customers.

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Hillsborough, NJ

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.
