"Finishing Touch Landscaping exceeded all my expectations! Our property had a problem of water runoff causing serious soil erosion that required some excavation, installation of an extended drainage system, installation of railroad ties, topsoil and regrading. The cost estimate was very competitive with other local landscapers and all work was done in a very professional manner. Frank Davis is more than just a landscaper; he is an experienced problem-solver and came up with suggestions that added value to the project without exceeding the budget. He has experienced workmen and makes it his business to supervise the project in person."

"Allen Outdoor installed and maintains my irrigation system (since 2003). They also did some landscape for me. The technicians and installers have all (without exception) been professional, accommodating and courteous. They fix things right the first time, explain the work well and deliver when and what they promise. Any "call backs" I have had to require (very very few) were handled, promptly and with a "do the right thing" attitude. I simply can not say enough good things about this organization from the techs to the office to management. I highly recommend them."

"We were very pleased all around. Tom was personable, easy going, and seemed to understand our needs. Our yard is very large and Tom understood our desire to do projects in stages. We liked the drawing/plan he provided and a detailed breakdown of the cost. When we are ready to move forward, we'll definitely hire Tom.

"We worked with Jonathan. He was very professional and understood our concerns. He analyzed the situation and provided reasonable solutions, including various options for consideration. The bid was fairly priced. It took almost 4 months from the time of the estimate for the work to be completed.  This was partially due to our delay in accepting the bid, the number of jobs in their cue, and an excessive amount of rainy days which delayed work. So far we are pleased with the results. I did contact Jonathan with some questions this week, as our yard still has some wet, muddy areas. He was able to explain the variables at play, options to get us through the winter, and further work to consider having done. I appreciate his patience and ability to explain the situation and suggest options. I would recommend this company, and will continue to work with them on this and future projects.

"Homemaker Landscaping erected a double tier retaining wall that is absolutely beautiful. These guys are super hardworking and don't mess around. They worked hard and got the job done quickly. Super Clean, Super Courteous, Fantastic Communication, and did a Fantastic Job. My home is new construction and I am having them come back to build a huge driveway retaining wall coming into my garage and also landscape all my retaining walls. Definitely recommend!"

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in University City, MO

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.
