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."

"I had picked three highly rated vendors from Angie's list for quotes for this work. I ended up picking Miller even though they weren't the cheapest or the one promising the earliest completion. I was impressed with Ron Miller's professionalism and willingness to work with us to define the project and work out the details. For example, we had planned to have our grandson install the block walls and we had already purchased most of the block. When he returned to school, we decided to hire a hardscaper to finish the work. Miller was happy to use our block. We decided to expand the job and added replacement of wooden timbers around some beds. We expressed concern about the normal timbers that are most often used because we were afraid of chemicals leeching into the vegetable beds. Miller worked with us to source cedar timbers at half the normal price for these timbers. I liked his willingness to allow me to assist on items that I was qualified to help with. Miller provided diagrams of the work and explained the materials he would use. I had someone familiar with construction review his plan and he approved of Miller's methods. Another sign of professionalism and not cutting corners to reduce costs as one vendor proposed. Miller was the only vendor who said he would not be able to complete the job before winter set in, but I counted that as a plus for honesty and pragmatism. Miller's crew (usually led by a family member), came out to work when weather permitted and finished the job in a reasonable amount of time given the weather conditions and late authorization to proceed. I would definitely use Miller again. If you value honest, professional work at a reasonable price, I recommend Miller to you as well."

"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."

Sprinkler systems aren't ideal for xeriscaped gardens because they can't effectively water around rocks and hardscape elements. Water often runs off or evaporates before reaching the soil. Instead, a drip irrigation system is a better choice, as it delivers water directly to plant roots, ensuring efficient water use and promoting healthy growth.
Your xeriscaped garden requires minimal yet essential maintenance. Regularly inspecting and adjusting your drip irrigation system, along with occasionally adding mulch and gravel, keeps your garden operating efficiently. Routine tasks—such as pruning, aerating, fertilizing, and soil testing—promote deep-root development and sustained plant health. This ensures maintenance remains low while your garden preserves its water-saving design.
While the initial cost of xeriscaping can be similar to or even higher than traditional landscaping, it often saves you money in the long run. Xeriscaping reduces water usage and requires less maintenance, lowering your ongoing costs. In drought-prone areas, these savings can make xeriscaping a more affordable and sustainable option over time.
Xeriscaping has potential disadvantages that include high initial labor and a departure from traditional lush landscapes. It demands extensive planning and careful installation, which increases upfront effort. Additionally, the less conventional appearance may not suit every homeowner’s taste and could impact curb appeal in areas where traditional greenery is valued, though its water-saving benefits remain advantageous.
Yes, xeriscaping can increase your home's value, especially in drought-prone areas. A water-efficient, low-maintenance landscape is attractive to buyers looking to save on water bills and reduce upkeep. While the exact increase in value varies, xeriscaping often enhances curb appeal and marketability to potential homebuyers when you’re selling your home.
