"Edgar and his workers at M.E.V. outdoor solutions did a beautiful job restoring and resetting our natural blue stone patio, improving our drainage system, grading, and sodding. They were extremely professional and some of the hardest workers we have ever hired. I was beyond impressed with the work ethic of these individuals; they worked non-stop from the minute they arrived and worked late on a weekend days to complete the job. I HIGHLY recommend hiring M.E.V. outdoor solutions for any stone work, drainage, or landscaping."

"Craig did an awesome job. He met with us a few times to get a feel for what we were looking for, made recommendations on placement and fixture type. After the installation, he came back a few times to reposition lights to ensure we got the best presentation."

"The estimate and scheduling was a breeze with Todd. The crew arrived on time to install 8 recessed lights, in 2 rooms, as well as wire 3 ceiling fans in the bedrooms that did not have overhead lighting. They completed the job quickly and efficiently. There was no mess left (they put down plastic and vacuumed up anything that made it onto the floor) and they covered all holes they had to make. I will definitely use them for future electrical needs."

".The original deal was for 6 lights at $649.  We added some extra work for an additional $1700.  The designer worked with us and made recommendations to help us get what we wanted.  Communication was good and the work was done as scheduled.  I wasn't as impressed with the quality of the work.  They are spots where the wire is exposed and not completely buried.  The wiring to the lights that were mounted on the fence were secured with a wire tie.  I expected something a little cleaner and neater than that.  The lights themselves do the job they were designed to do and we are pleased with that.  I guess overall I am a little disappointed with the quality of work vs. the cost."

"Jeff and his crew did an excellent job installing a large patio with a retaining wall in our backyard. Jeff helped us design our project. Our yard is sloped and we needed a lot of dirt removed. He communicated well about the details of our project. We really liked that he was on the job checking on his crew every day. We trusted his expertise and certifications. We would not hesitate to hire him again."

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Baltimore, MD

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.
