Our team also specializes in hardscape installation, including patios and walkways, and offers dependable snow services during the winter months. With a focus on sustainability, we use regionally suited plants and thoughtful design to create outdoor spaces that look great and support the local environment.

Let us help bring your landscape to life with care, creativity, and respect for the place we call home.

"Last summer I had the pleasure of working with Garden Guys for a landscape installation project at my home. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and exceeded all my expectations. The team was incredibly attentive to my ideas and needs. One of the things that stood out to me were their general attitudes. They seemed to have a great time doing the work at hand were very friendly to me and my wife. That is not always the case with landscape companies. They installed a variety of plants, shrubs, and trees, all of which are growing in beautifully. We were able to incorporate blooming all season which has been a very nice thing to have. We have a hardscaping project scheduled for next summer and we are very excited. We are getting a new patio on the backside of our house. I highly recommend Garden Guys to anyone looking for top-notch landscaping services."

FAQs for exterior lighting service projects in Portland, ME

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.
