"Cory was great! Our first meeting was like seeing an old friend. He took my vision and made it happen by switching my dining and livingroom with adding a few new items. Working with Cory was like a HGTV moment and would like to see what he can do with one of my other rooms. So yes, I will be using him again. Thanks Cory"

"Cipriano has been working with us for 7 years on maintaining our yard. He has a wealth of knowledge on plants, flowers, and trees. He landscaped our front and back yards, which included fencing and irrigation and drainage. When dealt with a problem he is able to provide workable ideas to solve it…which he has done several times for us. He has a “good eye” for what works best and a real passion for gardening and landscaping."

"Gabriel arrived right on time, and spent half an hour troubleshooting my landscape lighting problem. The repair needed some sod lifted, which I will have done by the gardener. Gabriel was very polite and conscientious in looking for other solutions that did not require this. I will definitely call them again if I for electrical needs."

"I hired Jacqueline of JP Green Design in July 2025 to redecorate my great room. In addition to her design talent, she's patient, has a lovely personality, does a great job of keeping the project (and me) on track and focused on the goal. The team of painters and electricians she uses are friendly, clean, respectful, and their work is top notch. Jacqueline keeps in constant contact with them to ensure her vision is realized. She had such good ideas that I ended up having her choose colors and paint the entire interior as well as replace the window coverings and light fixtures throughout the house. What a huge difference that has made! The furniture will arrive this month as it took a while to make decisions and delivery can take about 12 weeks, so plan accordingly. I'm so excited to go into 2026 with a completely transformed home!"

Lighting FAQs, answered by experts

Common outdoor lighting issues include faulty or exposed wiring, burnt-out or damaged bulbs, and broken or faulty fixtures. Regular maintenance can help prevent many of these problems.

The cost to repair a short circuit depends on the type of repair. A faulty outlet or simple loose wire can be a simple fix that might only cost a handful of dollars. For example, if you need to rewire a house, you’ll spend around $2 to $4 per square foot, but replacing an entire electrical panel costs anywhere from $500 to $2,100.  

Local building codes typically require conduit around exterior wiring. Conduit protects the wire from moisture, extreme temperatures, sun exposure, and harsh weather conditions to prolong its lifespan. When a wire is worn out, it can be dangerous as the risk of electric shock or fire increases.

No, you should not leave LED Christmas lights up all year. While the LED lights themselves are very durable, their wiring and casings can be as vulnerable as any Christmas lights. They’re subject to drying out, experiencing cold or sun damage that causes them to crack, and even damage caused by gnawing pests. (The same is true of incandescents.) If you want your lights to last the years that they’re rated for, bring them inside after Christmas is over. 

The five common types of landscape lighting are up-lighting, down-lighting, spotlights, built-in lighting, and pathway lighting.

  • Up-lighting casts light upwards from the ground, mostly for aesthetic purposes.

  • Down-lighting directs light onto the ground, lighting pathways, or outdoor space.

  • Spotlights cast direct, focused lighting in any direction.

  • Built-in lighting integrates lighting into an outdoor feature.

  • Pathway lighting illuminates walkways, increasing safety.
