Cost & Maintenence

When determining the cost of a landscape lighting project, several key factors come into play. We consider the extensiveness of the lighting plan – whether you prefer a more minimalistic approach or a robust, comprehensive system. The type of system also impacts cost, with standard on/off systems differing from deluxe systems featuring zoning and dimming capabilities.

The complexity of installation, such as landscape lighting versus wall/step lighting embedded directly into masonry, will also influence the overall investment.
