Frequently Asked Questions
How much does landscape lighting cost in Bradenton?
A professional landscape lighting system typically costs $2,000-$8,000+ depending on property size, number of fixtures, and complexity. A basic system with 10-15 fixtures averages $2,500-$4,000. Premium systems with 25+ fixtures, smart controls, and color-changing options range from $5,000-$12,000. We provide free design consultations with detailed quotes.
Are LED landscape lights worth the investment?
Absolutely. LED fixtures use 75% less energy than halogen, last 50,000+ hours (15-20 years of typical use), produce less heat, and offer better light quality. While LED fixtures cost more upfront, the energy savings and virtually zero replacement costs make them far more economical over time.
How much does landscape lighting cost to operate?
A typical LED landscape lighting system with 15-20 fixtures costs approximately $5-$15 per month to operate, running 6-8 hours per night. That's roughly the cost of a single light bulb running continuously. Smart timers and photocells ensure lights only run when needed.
Can landscape lighting be added to existing landscapes?
Yes! We install landscape lighting in established landscapes with minimal disruption. Low-voltage wiring is buried just 6 inches deep, and our experienced crews work carefully around existing plants, roots, and irrigation lines. Most installations are completed in 1-2 days.
Do you offer smart lighting controls?
Yes, we install WiFi-enabled transformers and controllers that let you adjust brightness, set schedules, create scenes, and control your lighting from your smartphone. Some systems also integrate with home automation platforms like Alexa and Google Home.
How do you maintain landscape lighting?
LED systems require very little maintenance. We recommend an annual check to clean lenses, adjust fixtures that may have shifted, trim vegetation blocking light, and verify timer settings. We offer maintenance plans that include these services plus bulb replacement if needed.
Is landscape lighting safe in Florida rain and storms?
All our fixtures are rated for outdoor use and designed to withstand Florida's weather including heavy rain, humidity, and salt air. Low-voltage systems (12V) are inherently safe — even if a wire is accidentally cut, there's no shock hazard. We use marine-grade connections in coastal areas for extra durability.
