I began designing and installing low voltage outdoor lighting systems in 2004. Back then, the only option to have outdoor lighting professionally installed was a national franchisee or using a landscaper or irrigation company that offered outdoor lighting as an additional service. The fact that I didn’t fall into either of those categories and was a locally owned and operated contractor specializing only in outdoor lighting, immediately set LDF apart from the rest. After several years of working as a one-man operation, I hired Kevin. Kevin and I worked together as a two-man crew doing all the installations. As we became busier and could no longer handle the work on our own, we brought on additional help and now have two great teams of installers. Kyle, Jacob, Wes and Tyler. Kevin now handles customer service, including scheduling service and maintenance calls and performing many day-to-day operations in the office. Last year we became a family business when my son Anthony decided to step away from his professional sales career to become a part of the LDF team. Anthony often worked with the crews during his college breaks, which helped him to become knowledgeable in lighting installs. He now heads up design/sales and continues to build upon his lighting knowledge with continued education, most recently earning his Certified Low Voltage Lighting accreditation through the AOLP. Anthony has been a great asset to LDF, not only in sales and design, but in his relationship with our customers and team members.
"He has been excellent in follow up service and he does excellent work. He is very responsive and no project is to big or too small. His pricing has been very good as well and I would highly recommend him.I will definitely hire him again."

"Not impressed. The estimator arrived early, so I had to interrupt work to meet him. Was not wearing a mask for COVID (I was). He took a few pictures and listened to what I needed. I did not get a good feeling from the conversation. Estimate was TRIPLE what others were. I will not consider them again."

Most landscape boulders weigh approximately 150 pounds per cubic foot, though this can vary slightly depending on the specific stone type. This substantial weight explains why professional installation is often recommended, as even modestly sized boulders can be challenging to maneuver safely.
When planning your project, consider that a standard pickup truck can safely transport only a few medium-sized boulders before reaching weight capacity limits.
The appropriate boulder size depends on your property's scale and your design objectives. Average residential properties often work well with boulders in the 24 to 36-inch range, providing visual impact without overwhelming the space. Compact yards benefit from smaller 12 to 24-inch specimens that add texture without dominating. Larger properties can accommodate statement pieces of 48+ inches that create dramatic focal points in expansive landscapes.
The timeline for landscape boulder installation ranges from a single day to several days, depending on project scope. Simple arrangements with a few medium-sized boulders might be completed in just hours. More extensive projects involving multiple large boulders, site preparation, and complementary features can extend to a week or more.
Weather conditions significantly impact scheduling, as wet ground can complicate equipment access and placement stability.
Self-installation is feasible for smaller boulders under 200 pounds if you have appropriate tools and basic landscape knowledge. For larger specimens, professional installation is strongly recommended due to safety concerns and equipment requirements.
Improper handling techniques can result in personal injury or property damage. For comprehensive landscape designs or challenging site conditions, professional expertise ensures proper placement for both aesthetic appeal and long-term stability.
