"Craig Collins of Landscape Lighting Designers Plus clearly has a lot of expertise and listened carefully to what we wanted. I was afraid of too much light but our project turned out perfectly. Though our project was small, he gave it prompt and diligent attention, even in sweltering summer weather."

"This is the second project we hired JP Landscaping for, and I suggest that anyone else looking for landscaping or hardscaping work do the same. We obtained numerous quotes for both projects, and JP was always the most transparent, honest, and cheapest. We could not be happier with everything his team did for us--a retaining wall, patio, and fence. He totally transformed our back yard. He was patient as we worked through what exactly we wanted and our budget. Once we made a decision and he had the materials, his team showed up right away and worked hard. I highly recommend JP Landscaping for anyone's next project."

"SL Landscaping responded right away and provided a quote for extensive weeding. They came on the scheduled day, performed the work, and cleaned up the yard as promised. They followed up once the work was completed. I will definitely use them again. Great job!"

"I had been searching for patio renovators/builders and landscaping contractors for some work to be done for a while now, over a month. Had a few coming in for estimates, however none were effecient or seemed like they were interested in getting the work. When I hadnt heard back from any of them, that is when I contacted Home Advisors for contractors in my area. They recommended JB Gardens Inc. And some others. I decided after checking their website, I would contact JB Gatdens Inc. They were very enthusiatic about coming over for an estimate and chat with me on what my projects were. They were courteous and liistened and professional about the work to be done and shared with me their experience and porrfolio and also shared with me some sample pavers on the very first day we met. Within that same day, I was sent quotes and supply lists via email. I was happy with the price and it was fair and reasonable. I was very impressed with the teams' work, work ethics, professionalism and candor. Very honest, upfront and they were willing to perform little tasks on the side for me at no extra cost. They worked for about 9 days straight and built me a wonderful patio, a side patio and 2 walkways (one with a front porch). Their work is immaculate, they pay so much attention to detail and cleaned up beautifully. A happy team is a happy and content employee and their management is what makes the company. I couldnt say more. They were superb and I would hire them again in future, should I have any home improvement projects. Many good returns to JB Gardens Inc (Jose, Manuel and Team) and looking forward to my landscaping work to begin in Oct! See you back then!"

Low-voltage landscape lighting costs about $120 per fixture to install. You may need to install a 12-volt transformer, too, to ensure the lighting system runs safely. For a six-fixture low-voltage landscape lighting setup, expect to pay around $1,000. A major reason people choose low-voltage landscape lighting is to reduce the risk of shock, making it safer to operate the outdoor lighting system.
Professional landscape lighting is typically worth the investment to improve your home’s curb appeal, safety, and security. Additionally, landscape lighting can add value to your home, creating a brightly-lit outdoor space that you can use after dark. According to the National Association of Realtors, landscaping lighting can add $2,500 to your home’s value. On average, this type of home improvement has a 50% return on investment.
There are tons of different types of landscape lighting available, including the choice between solar and wired, incandescent and LED, and a variety of colors. Specific types of lighting include:
Pathway lights: $50–$150 per fixture
String lights: $50–$150
Low-voltage lights: $90–$150 per fixture
Porch lights: $65–$250 per fixture
Floodlights: $75–$250 per fixture
Downlights: $100–$400 per fixture
Uplights: $100–$400 per fixture
Security lights: $ 350–$500 per fixture
Lamp posts: $400–$1,100 per lamp post
Landscape lighting costs about $4,000 on average, ranging from $2,000 to $6,000, depending on the amount of lighting, type of lights, and your location. Additional cost factors include any electrical work, excavation and trenching, and the current landscaping that the contractor has to work around. You can expect to pay an average of $100 for pathway and string lighting, and about $700 for lamp post lighting.
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.
