"These guys are the best! I needed an outdoor lighting job done. Dane called right away, came out and gave me a very reasonable quote, scheduled the job right away and the installation went fast and super smooth. I have a large yard and they handled it with ease. Every step of the process was simple and my home looks great. Do yourself a favor and hire them. You will not get this level of service anywhere else."

"I hired Fabian and Unique Landscaping to install a new paver patio, fire pit, seating wall, pergola, outdoor lighting, outdoor sound system, and water feature. The results exceeded my expectations. The process from beginning to end was great as Fabian had great communication throughout the project. Fabian and his crew worked hard and the results showed. I was completely satisfied with the process and end result. I highly recommend Fabian and Unique for your next hardscaping project."

"Pat and Midwest Landscaping did a great job on my yard. The plants had literally taken over and we had some poison ivy growing between our fence and the neighbor’s. In one morning they trimmed things that had gotten too big, moved plants to space them out better, weeded and got rid of the poison ivy problem. Really the best part was that they used all of our own plants, so we didn’t have to buy anything new. Whenever we need more help with the landscaping, we will be calling Pat."

"I've used Power several times in the past and had no qualms using them again. They removed an Ash tree that was right next to our fence without any damage to the fence. They took down the tree in sections and cleaned up the ground after each section. The ground was a little soft so they kept their equipment on the driveway even though we said it would be alright to drive on the yard. They walked the extra yards to avoid damaging the lawn. When they were finished you could not tell that a tree had been removed as there weren't any sticks or sawdust laying in the grass.

"Excellent. Serviceman came out and said we were fine. We didn't need any work at all and said he didn't want to do the work if it wasn't needed. It was so nice to have a man come out, give us his honest assessment, and be so kind. I ask you --does it get any better.? f you want an honest electrician, Widur is your guy."

"This was such a great deal!  The designer really took our suggestions/ideas into consideration and came back with a comprehensive plan that we could implement ourselves.  We've been gradually adding to our landscape over the past 3-4 years using this "master plan" as a guide.  Minimal investment for maximum curb appeal and landscaping happiness! ?Highly recommend!

I have lived in Oak Lawn for 25 years and on many occasions have lost electrical power due to heavy storms.  On several occasions this had required that I be home and able to continuously run a manual backup generator. 

Last week I finally had a backup house generator installed by Adams Electrical Services.  The owner Dorian Adams could not have been more professional and accommodating.  He worked around my schedule, and with one assistant was able to complete the job in one day. 

Compared to other prices that I had received, I was pleasantly surprised to learn how affordable Adams Electrical was.    

Upon completing the job Dorian made sure that I understood how the system worked, and made sure that I understood that I could call him down the road if I have any questions. 

I had spent many years worrying about my basement due to my sump pump not working as the result of  power outages.  I wish I would have contacted Adams Electrical Services years ago, and I highly recommend them to anyone who still has flooding concerns, due to the loss of power during heavy Chicago area  rains.

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Waukegan, IL

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.
