The main issue with landscape lighting is cost. A well designed and installed system, using high quality fixtures, will cost you $350 – $550 (or even more if you choose really high-end fixtures) per fixture for a 10 fixture system. That price includes all the materials and installation, but it is certainly an investment.
Like everything else on your property, there can be maintenance and repairs needed. Lights get knocked over, glass in the fixtures can get cloudy or dirty, and occasionally things break. We have very few callbacks on our low voltage landscape, but they are not completely care free.
Light pollution can impact birds. Especially if you have a large property with mature trees that house birds we need to take this into consideration. Here are some good pointers.
The verdict: landscaping is awesome, but it is an investment. My suggestion: hire a landscape lighting designer and installer to maximize your investment. Contact us today to set up your consultation!
