"Our front entry steps were cracked and pulling from house. In addition they were originally installed with a bad pitch, water flowed toward home. Derek from sun Viking came to my home for the estimate and after having 3 other estimates Derek was the only contractor who actually identified the actual problem and explained to me that simply veneering the steps would not correct it. I hired Sun Viking primarily due to Derek's knowledge and although the price was more than we budgeted for we went for it (We budgeted $6500 for the job). WE COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!!!! This company exceeded my expectations by doing the little things like pouring footers and rebuilding the steps from the ground up they also installed conduit line for adding step lighting or landscape lights to the homes front later on. His employees were punctual and polite. They explained things to me if I had questions as the job progressed. The finished product is just stunning and we have already received compliments from neighbors. Thank You Derek and the Sun Viking team!!!"

"Tyler and his team were wonderful. He came out and gave me an estimate, showing up as planned. Then he and his team returned as scheduled. The problem causing my patio to sink turned out to be minor, and Tyler didn't try to game me with a big, unnecessary repair. They fixed the problem, relaid the brick, and now my patio looks beautiful!"

"We have a 3 storey house and the team at Brite Idea came out and put up the lights on the house. They had to come out a second day with a longer ladder to finish up but the end job was worth the wait. We did the lights around the bushes which balanced the others beautifully. We agreed to a 3 year contract which suits us since we love having the house lit up for the holidays. I'm sure we'll continue as long as we live here."

"Excellent! I can't say enough good things about this project. We live in a 1920 Dutch Colonial, our walkway was falling apart. Miguel gave us samples to look at that would match our front Brick porch. The brickyard he sent us to allowed us to bring samples home to compare. He ordered what we wanted and within 4 days began the project. He came early in the morning and stayed well into the evening and completed the job in 2 days from demolition and removal of the old walk to the installation of the new one. He seeded the lawn that edged it. We selected him because he a patio and driveway and walkway for our nextdoor neighbors. We've lived here since 1974 and people trust the contractors we use. We highly recommend him and we always like to hire local owner operated businesses. For an additional fee he planted 2 trees in the front of the house. We are very satisfied."

"Great! Walter and his team were very accommodating to our needs and budget. They were responsive, and offered great cost saving alternatives to our original design. They will definitely be our first (and only) call for our next landscaping job. Great people."

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring Medinas company to install sod, put down mulch, and trim trees, and I must say, it was an excellent experience. From the moment they arrived, the team displayed a high level of professionalism. They were punctual, well-prepared, and had all the necessary equipment and materials for the job. Their attention to detail was impressive, and it was clear that they took pride in their work. Not only did they complete the project in a timely manner, but they also maintained a clean and organized work area throughout the process. They worked efficiently without compromising the quality of their work, and the end result was fantastic. One aspect that particularly impressed me was their pricing. The landscaping company provided a fair and competitive quote, and there were no hidden fees or surprises along the way. They were transparent about the costs from the beginning, which made the entire experience stress-free. I would wholeheartedly recommend this landscaping company to anyone looking for professional and reliable landscaping services. Their commitment to excellence, timely completion of the job, and fair pricing make them a top choice. I am extremely satisfied with their work and would not hesitate to hire them again in the future."

"

Initially contacted contractor through Angie's list.  Jeff Pasternak owner/operator responded immediately.  An appointment was scheduled for an estimate.  I wanted a stone border down the side of my driveway, and along the gardens in the front and side of my house.  I wanted several bushes, along with topsoil and mulch.  As I had never had professional landscaping done on my property, I was hoping for suggestions, rather he seemed hesitant with my requests.  He took pictures, measured, and would get back to me by the end of week.  I contacted him almost a week later after no response, and almost immediately he emailed an estimate along with pictures of my property with the enhancements we had discussed.  I really liked what he had done with the photos.  I responded with some concerns which he answered, and left it at that.

"Creative Pavers did a great job for me. I had a wooden deck that essentially just a wooden platform on the ground. It was starting to rot in places and the inspector warned me when I bought the house that it was showing signs of termite damage, so it had to go. The provided me with a great design and we worked out a way to do it in stages so that I could stay within budget. I was traveling for much of the project, but everything went well even in my absence. From start to finish, they were polite, professional, punctual - and I love the end result. I have other plans for landscaping and hardscaping for the future (including a firepit) and I will definitely use them again."

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Riverside, 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.
