"The electrician was in and out within 10 minutes. The only issue I had was that I was told I would get a free quote when I set up the appointment. I was charged over $100 for a "diagnostics test" which was just to see what the issue was and all that ended up needing done was for a button to be pushed to reset the GFCI. I was prepared to pay the service call fee $70 and any costs for repairs but no repairs ended up being need. I tried reaching out several times but just keep being told they will have someone call me. It's been over 2 weeks."

"We are extremely happy with the work Robert and his crew did for us. The job was started on schedule, completed within the estimated time-frame (only three days!), and the crew cleaned up after themselves very well. Each crew member was polite and helpful with answering any questions we had about the job. And Robert was very accessible and was at the jobsite every day. One of the things I really appreciate about working with Royal Landscaping is that Robert didn't pressure us into going any particular direction, but provided design input every time we asked him. We've worked with several contractors on home projects over the years, and it's often difficult to get them to share professional opinions and provide honest feedback about our ideas. I know I'm the homeowner and I'm paying for it, but when I ask the professional who does this for a living for suggestions or feedback on my ideas, I really don't want to hear "we can do whatever you want"! So I really appreciate the fact that Robert willingly provided his input throughout the project and helped us with the design element. And I readily admit that every single suggestion he had turned out to be excellent. Pintrest and Google are great, but that info isn't specific to my application. So when it comes time to do something of this scope, I want to rely on a bit more than internet pictures. He's also very knowledgeable about his profession and thoroughly answered all of our questions (I was particularly concerned about drainage in our hilly yard). We also had Robert's team do the sod in the back, and he provided a certificate for the grass (I'd never even heard of that before) when he gave us lawncare instructions. They put down pinestraw as well and even relocated several of my plants when building the retaining walls. Also, when building the wall, the crew needed to relocate an existing underground drain pipe. The old pipe was of low quality and had holes, so they replaced it with a better-functioning and better-quality pipe. Finally, Robert gave us the best price/value out of the four companies we got quotes from. We initially were going to go with a different type of stone for our retaining wall, but after seeing the Heritage Block Royal Landscaping offers, we decided to go with that. And we're very glad we did. It's head and shoulders above other products we've seen. After our project was completed, my neighbor across the street said he plans on calling Robert to do work for him. And within this first week of it being done, three other neighbors from different streets in our community have stopped by our house to talk about our new retaining walls and how nice they look! When a vendor doesn't live up to expectations or standards, I actively voice my complaints. And when a vendor/company performs exceptionally well, I like to acknowledge that just too. I rely on reading reviews to help me make decisions about what companies or products are best, so I hope this review helps others. I don't know if Angie's List has any kind of messaging system for members, but if so, feel free to send me any questions you may have about this company. I realize this is a glowing review, but it was a smooth process and we really had no problems or complaints. Robert seemed just as concerned as I was about ensuring my project was done right and was of high quality. I'd definitely hire them in the future."

"Installation went very well. The tech was knowledgeable and professional. Problem was when I received my cc bill. I was billed the $129 Angie's List fee which was to include TV wall mount (mount not include), connect all necessary video and basic audio, neatly dress wires, configure peripheral devices, and conceal in-wall wires. And I was billed $140.49 from HELLOTECH. I'm still trying to get the $140.49 charge reversed."

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Sanford, NC

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.
