LANDSCAPE LIGHTING
Landscape lighting systems should be reviewed by a professional every two years for preventive maintenance, routine adjustments, and potential improvements.
With the widespread adoption of LED lamps, bulbs are not being replaced every year or two which is great for energy savings. However, replacing the old halogen bulbs provided the opportunity to inspect the fixtures and wire regularly. When we replaced halogen lamps in tree fixtures, we would also adjust the fixture and wire to prevent the seasonal growth of the tree from damaging the fixture and wire.
This adjustment is still a very important preventative task to do at least every 2 years. Also, replacing halogen bulbs in on the ground fixtures provided the opportunity to adjust fixtures that have been bumped around or mysteriously moved or removed. This was also a great time to clean lenses, move fixtures to accommodate growing shrubs & perennials, and to ensure the lights are optimally illuminating trees and other elements as they should.
Also, as you live in and use your outdoor spaces, experience lighting from the inside out, and approach your home at night, it is common to add or adjust fixture locations to continuously enhance the look and feel and add interest, safety, and comfort in the evenings.

- Additional repairs / recommendations will be noted and presented after the Check-Up Visit is completed, and a plan for next steps will be discussed.
- If you do not already have a map (as-build drawing) of your fixtures and power source locations, we will create one to make future visits more efficient.
