"We had a large water leak in our line between the meter and our house. A locator had to come out to find it. We were losing approximately 1 1/2 gallons a minute. As soon as the locator showed us the approximate location, we knew that we needed to have a tree removed to be able to dig up and fix the leak. Sunrise Landscaping came out and did a great job! I thought that they were only going to remove the tree and locate the leak but to my surprise, they were also able to repair the line!! They did an awesome job and were very professional! The leak was about two feet down and two feet in under our driveway. Not an easy fix and they did it without cutting our concrete. I highly recommend Sunrise!"

"Nathan was a joy to work with. He was very helpful with ideas to iinstall new outdoor light fixtures and gave us different options to replace older patio motion sensors which we immediately ordered. He offered to return and install them in a timely fashion. I will definitely recommend Harts Services to my neighbors and friends."

"It was a big deal purchase and it was horrible.  They came out and said that they couldn't repair it.  They gave us an estimate for thousands of dollars to redo the lights and that wasn't something we were interested in.  It was like a ten minute consultation and it cost $49 and it was worthless to us."

"We hired Soil & Stone to install a paver patio in our back yard. We worked with Alex, who offered great ideas & developed an affordable plan for our budget. His professionalism and pride of workmanship were top notch! He went above and beyond in all aspects of the project and I highly recommend hiring his company for your outdoor projects. He will be the first person we call when we have another project to do!"

"A team of two electricians arrived on 24 August 2020 to investigate the electrical anomalies we were experiencing. They spent all day inspecting the circuit breaker panel and disconnecting multiple switches and outlets. By the end of the day, they thought they had resolved the problem, but when they reconnected everything, the symptoms returned. So, they decided to come back the next day to continue their investigation. On 25 August 2020, the lead electrician came back for a few minutes, to continue searching for the cause of the electrical problems, but was still unsuccessful in determining the source. He said he would come back tomorrow. On 26 August 2020, the two electricians returned and finally identified and corrected the cause of the electrical problems we were having. The lead electrician explained that the problems were caused by a loose grounding wire in the circuit breaker panel, which he had initially checked but did not notice. After they left, we realized that a three-way light circuit on the stairs and balcony was not working properly. This was not one of the original symptoms. So we asked the team to come back and correct this problem, which they had created. On 4 September 2020, the team came back and corrected the wiring problem with the three-way switches for the lights on the stairs and balcony. The owner of the company, to his credit, apologized for the fact that it had taken so long to identify the root cause of our electrical problem and only charged us for his cost, not the electricians' usual hourly rate. And, he did not charge us for the return visit to correct the problem with the three-way light switches on the stairs and balcony. Overall, the electricians were always courteous and professional, and kept us informed during their investigation and analysis of our problem. They were pleasant to work with. It was just unfortunate that the investigation and resolution took longer than any of us expected. I would not hesitate to call on them again in the future, if needed."

"I have worked with John and Fernando on 2 separate projects and have been pleased with the results. John is very responsive and did a great job helping me with the design. He did not try to oversell me on things I did not need. The crew did a good job on the install and got both projects done quickly."

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Tacoma, WA

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.
