We do one thing and excel at it, Landscape Lighting. Do you believe one person can do 5-7 things and be and excel at all those things? Hardscapes, Landscapes, Mulch, Ponds, Fences, Tree Trimming, oh and we can also do lighting, lol. I see trucks in Luxury neighborhoods daily when out working and laugh to myself, because I see what those guys are installing.

They find the cheapest thinnest fixtures they can purchase ,bulbs included and install them for the low price they add onto the 15-30,000 hardscape or landscape project they installed. Sad thing is that the client will have no idea until they are long gone and the year warranty is long gone as well. Some lighting manufacture had them attend a half day class and they are suddenly lighting experts.
Professional landscape lighting involves a well thought out design that the clients can look out of their home and enjoy as well as the lighting can be viewed by neighbors riding by. I have to educate clients every day of the week as to proper landscape lighting designs as so many of these companies stick one light on one tree that is not a good tree to be illuminated.
Trees that look magical at night when illuminated properly are Crepe Myrtles, Japanese Maples, River Birches, Dogwoods. Most builder trees are not trees that look at all good lit up. Architectural aspects of the home when properly illuminated should be softly illuminated between brick or stone facades and not have lights placed directly under windows which can create a hot spot and a ghoulish effect.
I come from a concert and theatrical stage lighting background and see so many horrible lighting jobs that clients paid good money for. It only takes a few minutes of walking or riding around looking at such jobs to make most clients realize the bad lighting that is all around them, including two new things builders are guilty of. permanent holiday lighting and soffit lighting in the homes peaks which creates bright hot spots with horrible glare at night.
You paid alot of money for your forever home and landscaping and you need to educate yourself on the differences in not good and good lighting.
Yes, you can go with the low price leader for any type of home improvements, but I get the phone calls when those systems that are not wired properly or put together cheaply fail and we ,as most companies don’t work on those type systems as its usually just a band aid till the next failure happens.
Value vs low price= quality small company who does one thing and does it correctly vs a company doing quantity installs for a quick buck to add onto their other project they made their profit on.
