"An outstanding contractor. APS did a great job with my project. They handled all the permits and hoop-jumping nonsense with the village, began the project on time as promised and delivered a great backyard oasis and front yard transformation. They did everything from patio, to landscaping to lighting and of course, the beautiful pool, which they also provided after installation assistance with the care and upkeep. Great bunch to work with and I highly recommend them"

"Wojtek was hired to install and rewire several ceiling fans, remodel the lighting in the kitchen and move two ceiling lights over dining tables. He worked very well with my wife in designing the kitchen lighting. Wojtek is very neat and leaves the house with no mess left behind. He is thorough and was on time for each of the three appointments. I had used him once before to wire and install an upstairs ceiling fan and was so impressed I only had him quote this job."

"Naper Lawn Work did fantastic job on our outdoor remodel. We had them put in an outdoor kitchen (my husband absolutely loves), gas fire place (the kids love roasting marshmallows), beautiful p**** paver patio, pillars, and outdoor lighting. Its great for entertaining!  My husband and I received numerous compliments. We have even had neighbors ask if we mind if the duplicate our yard.
From the very beginning, Naper Lawn Works has been very professional. They never tried to over sell. They listen to what my husband and I chose and offered great advice and tips to make it look even better than what we pictured.  Naper Lawn Works stayed on schedule the whole time, kept us informed daily as what the schedule is.  All the workers were very polite and even cleaned up their mess everyday before leaving our home. We shopped around for other prices and found Naper Lawn Works not only an affordable price, but they are local. Mark, the owner, was so very nice. I could not have asked for a better guy to deal with. I am someone that worries constantly, but Mark made me feel comfortable and answered my million questions throughout the whole process.
My husband and I are so please with the work, that this spring we will be starting a new project with Naper Lawn Works for the front of our house. I am so excited as seeing how easily and affordable our last project was. I would recommend Naper Lawn Works to everyone. Not only does my family and I constantly enjoy our yard, but its awesome for entertaining, that the whole neighborhood is over enjoying it too.
Thank you Mark and the whole Naper Lawn Works team for everything. We will see you in the spring for our new project."

"Wojtek came to our home and gave us an estimate for some electrical work we needed performed. He was friendly and professional. However, we went with another electrical company for the work. Only reason for using the other company was a personal reference from a friend."

"Although it was a little tough to connect in the beginning (due to summer rush and holiday weekend), once Maria and I connected, things went very smoothly.
She came to my house, measured and provided a quote in a very timely manner.  
I had to go through my HOA, and she was quite helpful. Providing the drawings and contacting J.U.L.I.E. as required by the HOA (and even coming out a second time to get additional details requested by the HOA).
We had set a tentative installation date (pending HOA approval) and were lucky that the HOA approval was received in the nick of time and the weather held out.
The crew showed up on time and worked tirelessly all day to complete the job. When they ran out of bricks, they went back out to buy more.  Maria  was there the entire time overseeing the work.  At one point we had an issue with the level of the patio where the base of the steps and the side of the house were out of sync (huge downward slope).  She noted the issue and provided a sound recommendation which I approved. At the end of the day, they cleaned up the entire area.  They had carefully removed sod, mulch and some of my plants to install the brick patio and when they were done installing, they replaced the sod, mulch and even replanted my flowers.  Impressive!!  Everything washed up (even the handprints on the staircase) and clean.  They were also very careful with the surrounding area.  I live in a townhouse and they used wheel barrels to bring in all the materials.  They were careful not to destroy any of the common area.  This is a huge plus and greatly appreciated.  
Overall, it was a very positive experience and I highly recommend LDP.  I love my new patio - even though it is small, it adds a whole new room for me outdoors.  Wish I could add pictures, it turned out great!!"

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Wilmington, 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.
