"We received one other bid from a recommended supplier. It was 50% higher than the bid from Power. Power scheduled the time to do the work. They showed up as promised and completed the work without interruption. All parts of the tree were removed from our yard, The lawn and other planting seeds were not damaged.

"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."

"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!!"

"I usually don't write reviews, but after "WOW" moment a truly Visionary Landscaping experience I have to share. I have been looking for company to make my dream patio reality for couple months, after meeting with 12 companies and calling about 4 others and I was very particular what I wanted, only to discover that my dream doesn't meet my budget. I almost gave up and was about to make a big mistake but after meeting with Visionary team I was surprise to discover my assumption was wrong. Marcelo and his team reviewed my project, budget, village limitations and came up with unique solutions! Not only I got my dream come true they came extra mile to deliver it. It was complex 4 weeks project, tree removals, downspouts installation, shrub removals, excavation and finally 1000 SQF patio with pillars, seatwalls, custom lighting and timer, fire pit, steps, sod installation, one of a kind design and the best part of all they did it within my budget while delivering my dream along with the Visionary Approach and Experience. I love it! I couldn't believe transformation Visionary team has done. Starting with the project review and qualifications/questions and communications recommendations how to make things work, bringing real materials and samples, scope of work and details, quality of craftsmanship/engineering I was blown away after they completed everything. The details along were impeccable with all the accents, lines, colors and details. I am sure Marcelo will be posting images soon. Its a lot of positivity coming out of negative person I think I am the worst customer a major pain in the a**s, but Visionary team deserve positive feedback I believe they are #1 at what they do a Visionary and what they can deliver if I only met with them earlier I could enjoy my beautiful patio whole summer. At the end I did signed up with Visionary Landscaping team to do new driveway, side walk and all landscaping needs including planing and maintenance! If you looking for company that can take care of all your needs call Visionary Landscaping I guarantee you wont regret it, if you can get an appointment of cause. Also wanted to thank HomeAdvisor for providing free service to find dream makers and solutionists, thanks guys!"

"Along with the work described in the Big Deal, he also installed an exterior light fixture over my porch. The work was fair but it still needs some additional work to correct a minor flaw that allowed snow to blow under the base of the globe. The base doesn't fit flush against the wall and there is a small opening. Apparently that is not something that they can repair, so I have to have someone else out to do that work. He was also late in arriving to my home."

"Below is my review for work done on my home a few years ago: I am a return customer of Mr. James DeLeo. I have selected him to complete multiple projects for my properties and this time I was trusting him with the huge undertaking of renovating my 1895 Chicago Row House. Once again, I was impressed with the quality workmanship and problem solving skills of Mr. DeLeo and the tradesmen that he chose to bring on as part of his team. I spent over three months working with his men on a daily basis. I opted to live in the row house while they completed an extensive renovation, so needless to say I spent a great deal of time with Mr. DeLeo and his team. I am so grateful for the hard work and vision they provided in order to shape my hopes for my home into a reality. I am thrilled with the outcome of the renovation and was very pleased with the efficient and considerate work of the men who loaned their skills to this project. The house presented some obstacles along the way, but Mr. DeLeo and his team were able to brainstorm solutions that allowed me to maintain the vision I had for my home. The estimate Chicago Pro Construction provided me at the onset of my project was honest and very reasonable. As the project progressed, he always provided me with the most cost and quality effective means to address the couple of unforeseen issues my house presented. All of the men Mr. DeLeo selected for my project were considerate and respectful. I had a dog and a cat living with me during the renovation and they even went the extra mile to make sure that my pets experienced as little stress as possible during the project. I have already recommended Chicago Pro Construction to several of my close friends who have enlisted their help in projects of their own, and would not hesitate to continue to recommend Mr. DeLeo due to his integrity in terms of business ethics as well as quality of workmanship."

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Winthrop Harbor, 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.
