"Perfect! Very professional estimator & project manager and the work crew was fantastic. Worked 7 days straight, very punctual and extremely tidy. They consulted with me whenever they had a question or to clarify something to make sure it was exactly how I wanted it. Very high quality- I plan to hire them again in the future to do front yard project with pathways & terracing."

"Our old sprinkler system had sprung several leaks and needed to be replaced. I called Gabriels Gardens, was told that he would be here at noon the next day and he showed up at 11:55.

We discussed the needed repairs, agreed upon a price and I was told that they would start the following Monday at 9:00. The workers showed up at 8:30 and got right to work digging up what turned out to be about 4 old systems. They added a couple of sprinkler heads to give the yard complete coverage, uncovered a couple of others I didn't even know we had and added a zone to the system to make it more effective at no additional cost.

After the work was finished the crew did a wonderful job of cleaning up, including a couple of areas that weren't their mess. They topped it all off by trimming a couple of bushes and seeding some bare patches in the yard.

I signed up for a twice a year maintenance program they offer and in the spring I plan to have them back to re-seed the front yard.

This company is fast, professional, friendly and efficient. In addition to sprinkler systems they offer a wide variety of landscaping and home maintenance services ."

"Will is awesome! Friendly, knowledgeable, honest, and down to earth. He had a perfect opportunity to gouge me for lots of money when I purchased my home with a old sprinkler system. Instead, he took the time to literally walk me through the system; answered my thousand questions and armed me with pros and cons to make informed decision which was to not yet upgrade! I wish more people were still like Will, and provide professional service for the 'long game' not just sell and run."

"I needed someone to come clean up the disaster at my rental property and since I couldn't be there in person, I wanted to make sure I could count on someone who is reliable and who could do a quality job. Dog on the Job LLC took a look at the front and back yards, gave me a quote, and when they did the work, they did an AMAZING job. My property looked GREAT. They really came through for me. Their yard work entailed digging up 3 trees, trimming the bushes, removing blackberry from my vines, cleaning up the walkway, cleaning up the small water feature, cleaning up the flower bed from all the weeks/grass, cleaning up another larger garden bed from all the tall plants and weeds, and pressure washing the back patio. The quality of the service I got was definitely worth what I paid for the work. I will definitely be using them on future yard jobs and I highly recommend them for any yard work anyone has!"

"Jack and his crew helped me immensely by building a fenced dog area and a French drain with a catch basin to help solve my irrigation problems. Jack is extremely responsive, friendly, knowledgable and easy to work with. I love it when contractors can take your ideas and improve them along the way. Not as a blatant upsell, but helping provide solutions for things that I, as the non-professional, would have overlooked. He made sure my downspouts were connected to the french drain, fixed some issues with my fence and gate, offered lots of ideas for improving my original plan and was well informed about the best materials and methods. The service was well worth the cost and I am super pleased with the results.

My dogs have a fenced area they can access now and I am looking forward to not having mud in my house anymore.

I am looking forward to working with his team on Phase II, a patio and some raised beds!"

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Salem, OR

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.
