D & D is a full service landscaping company providing both design and installation. Since 1969 we have helped Chicagoans improve their curb appeal with a complete project - trees, shrubs, lighting, and more. Give D & D a chance to design and implement a plan for your home today!
We also:
Design, install and maintain sprinkler systems for both residents and businesses.
Design, install and maintain outdoor lighting systems using fully integrated LED fixtures for both residents and businesses yardscapes and patios. We do not offer lawn care or weekly maintenance for lawn and landscaping.
"I selected D&D for a patio installation project. In March during the design and planning, they were very responsive. After they submitted the permit, they almost never responded. My village gave feedback in late March and 2.5 months later D&D never moved the project forward. Only received 1 message in April saying they would get back to me and one meeting in May saying they are waiting for the village (that was not true per my village). It has been another 3 weeks since I have heard back from the team after telling them the village is waiting for them to provide more information. The office does not return calls or texts either. This has been a very frustrating experience as D&D almost never texts back or returns calls. I have called or texted almost daily for two months. I am very surprised by their high rating as they seem incredibly unresponsive to me. I do not recommend anyone work with D&D."

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.
