"First, Joe (the owner?) was extremely responsive and patient throughout the entire process! I submitted a request and honestly wasn't even sure that they would take on such a small job. Joe agreed to do it, and then the waiting game began. I have The World's Worst Homeowners Association, who are extremely UNresponsive, and it was several months of back and forth with them before I was able to get the light installed. Robert (the installer) was super personable and even offered an idea for an alternative installation location so that the big silver box wasn't the first thing you see right next to the front door where the outlet is. He also explained how additional lights (such as path lights) can be added along the wiring in the future when my budget permits. I did think the price was a little high to begin with, but then again I also could never have done this myself!"

"They are always on time. They perform the job according to what they say they are going to do.  The people and staff are friendly. I can leave my door open and allow them to come in. The same people have worked there for a long long time. So, when I'm opening my sprinkler systems it's usually the same guy year after year after year. It's the same thing with lighting. They are very good. They are very customer oriented. They usually offer you a two hour window if it's not an emergency and they always come out within that two hour window. They are very professional."

"We began a project for exterior landscape lighting, but as we got to know Randy, Mike, and Green Light Design Group, we were so impressed with their capabilities, we substantially expanded our project from exterior lighting, into landscape design, adding gorgeous new plantings, install hardscape replacement, and other substantial improvements. This project was beyond successful. Added true value to our home. Top-notch customer-oriented people! A 5-Star rating is not enough!!!"

"I hired Fabian and Unique Landscaping to install a new paver patio, fire pit, seating wall, pergola, outdoor lighting, outdoor sound system, and water feature. The results exceeded my expectations. The process from beginning to end was great as Fabian had great communication throughout the project. Fabian and his crew worked hard and the results showed. I was completely satisfied with the process and end result. I highly recommend Fabian and Unique for your next hardscaping project."

"They did an excellent job! They pulled out all of the weeds and shrubs. They put sod down in the front. Took out the old mulch and redesigned the flower beds. Put mulch down, planted a Rose of Sharon, Dwarf Korean Lilacs, and My Monet Weigiela. I love all the plants and everything they did. Thank you, Thank you"

Lighting questions, answered by experts

If your lights are shorting out during rain storms or other winter events, you should probably replace them. These shorts indicate electrical issues that could cause serious hazards. Look for outdoor-rated lights with connectors made for rainy conditions to replace them. But if your Christmas lights are new and you want further protection, you can find weatherproof covers to add to the male-end connectors of your Christmas light strings. These can minimize the risk of shorts.

High-quality landscape lights that are hardwired and properly maintained can last for 10 to 25 years or more. You’ll usually get a longer lifespan from soffit lights and wall-mounted lights that aren’t directly exposed to the elements or prone to damage from foot traffic or vehicle traffic. Solar-powered and battery-powered lights often won’t last as long, but you can still expect a lifespan of five to 15 years.

Pool lights are designed to be safe by protecting swimmers from electrocution. These lights are made with waterproof fixtures and seals to prevent contact with the water.

Electrocution from pool lights is still possible, but rare. Faulty wiring or broken lighting equipment can make lights unsafe, so it’s important to replace lights as needed and have an electrician inspect and upgrade the wiring.

While most general electricians can repair lamps and light fixtures, it is often better to hire a lamp repair specialist. Many electricians prefer larger jobs, such as fixing electrical systems or relocating fixtures, and may not offer lamp repair services due to the small scale of the work. Additionally, some lamps, particularly antique models, require dedicated expertise that a general electrician might not have. A lamp repair specialist will be familiar with various types of fixtures and can provide a more dedicated service. If you have already hired an electrician for a larger project, you can ask them to look at your lamp, but for a standalone repair, a specialist is typically the best option.

Yes! As a matter of fact, there are many sensors that add motion to existing outdoor lights. These motion sensors attach to pre-existing flood lights and other outdoor lights without any fussy and potentially dangerous electrical work. Additionally, some flood lights and related fixtures ship with motion sensors built-in.
