"Everything went extremely well. Laury was great to work with. Questions directed to him were answered quickly. Installation team was very professional and courteous. Follow-up instructions for working the system through the iPhone app by Simon was also excellent. Project inspected by Village of Buffalo Grove (following installation) passed first time with no issues."

"Midwest Landscaping did a top-notch job on my front yard. I had 2 trees that needed major trimming, along with thinning of an over abundance of hostas. Pat was very personable and friendly, making it easy for me to voice my wishes and concerns. He explained in detail the big branches he would cut, where and how he would place the flagstone paths & outcropping stones and also the new nursery stock his workers would be planting. He and his team were quick and professional completing their work and clean-up in one day. They moved and re-planted some of my existing plants too, expertly placing them and changing my helter-skelter overgrown hosta carpet to a beautiful park-like setting. Beginning with something that looked overly oppressive & shady, my front landscaping now looks light, airy and welcoming. My curb appeal has just gone up 100%! Pat and his team of professionals were fabulous!"

"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.

"After taking down one of our old porch lights and seeing what sad shape the old wiring was in, we quickly decided our quick installation of new porch lights was going to be a bigger project than we planned.  However, we are having a large gathering at our house next weekend and wanted to find someone that could do the job not only well but quickly.  Miro came out the very day I called and ran new wiring and installed both lights in about an hour time.  He was very professional and went right to work.  I couldn't have been more impressed with his quick response and his awesome work!"

"Absolutely the best contractor we have ever had in our home. We really felt like royalty. He is very detail oriented. The chandelier was an antique and he took the time to make sure every detail was perfect; from the crystals to the dimmer switch. Very friendly, professional, conscientious and clean. Thank you!"

"Overall, I'm extremely impressed with LPD+Architectural Stonescapes. Ninety percent of the work was very good the first time; for the remaining part that had some problems, they returned twice more and kept after it until it was done. The bluestone repair, patching up a great big hole, is invisible. If anything, it looks better now that before the excavation. And supervisor Maria Larios was on-site taking charge of the most of the actual work, which is really rare in my experience. Thank you for excellent results.

"Initally, my husband saw a groupon with a deal for a 7KW generator issued by Adams Electrical Services and we were very excited to see such a deal offered considering generators can be very expensive. However, we were unsure about hiring this company. At the time I was not a member of Angies List but my neightbor was and she looked them up for me. Glad she did. What an outstanding group of Electrians at Adams.  We reached out to Adams Electrical Serives, and Dorian Adams (Owner) came out for a consultation and after answering numerous questions asked by yours truly, Dorian advised us that we should upgrade to a larger generator than what we purchased especially since we wanted our central air uinit on the generator too. I learned a great deal about electricity that evening and we went forward with purchasing the larger generator. On installation day, Dorian and his crew were punctual, professional and very personable.  They were even concerned about getting my carpeted basement stairs dirty and helped me cover them. Installation went smooth.  Dorian monitored his crew's work closely and even had his own post-installation checklist to esure all went as it should.  They did a very through job and cleaned up whatever mess they made too. 
I would and have recommended this company to my neighbors. 
FYI my power went out last night (7/22/14) due to lightning striking the transformer during a nasty storm.
Guess who wasn't in the dark?   Thanks again Adams Electrical Services.

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.
