"Colette was fabulous. We needed to paint our kitchen cabinets and while we were thinking of painting them black, we were concerned it would be too much with our black counters and black backsplash. Colette considered our adjoining rooms and the overall look of our house to suggest a color that worked for our cabinets as well as several rooms in our home. Her recommendation was spot on and it surpassed our expectations. Even our cabinet painters were blown away. Would absolutely hire Colette again!"

"Danny and the N & T crew did an excellent job landscaping around our deck and cleaning up and mulching our garden beds. They were friendly, professional, on time, creative and worked well to incorporate our ideas with some improvements. Danny communicated well with us from start to finish. We will certainly hire N & T Landscaping again."

"Nothing but good things to say! We got a new sprinkler system put in-- Everything was smooth and well-communicated from my first call, through to the install. I always felt in the loop and knew what to expect, which is huge. They fit our job in quickly and they took great care while on the property. Will be recommending to others!"

"During our initial meeting, Paul was very personable and offered outstanding recommendations for our landscaping needs, covering plantings, lighting, drainage, and modifications to our existing sprinkler system. Paul and his team were punctual, professional, and a pleasure to work with. We are extremely satisfied with the quality of their work and have decided to hire OCR, Inc again for our front yard landscaping project."

Lighting questions, answered by experts

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. 

Modern outdoor light fixtures are waterproof and weather resistant, and, provided they’re installed correctly and by a professional, the fixture and wiring can last for 20 to 30 years or more. The lifespan will depend largely on the quality of the fixture. The lifespan of the bulb will depend on the type of light you install:

  • CFL bulb (for sustained use): 15,000 hours

  • Halogen bulb (mostly for security): 2,000 hours

  • HID bulbs (for security): 12,000 hours

  • Incandescent bulb: 1,000 hours

  • LED bulb: 50,000 hours

Options include pathway lights, spotlights, and smart lighting systems. Choose based on function and aesthetics.

The easiest and best way to power your outdoor lights is with the use of outdoor outlets. Most building codes now require exterior outlets in homes, so you likely already have outdoor outlets available to plug into. However, you can have these outlets installed if your space doesn’t currently include them.

The average cost to install outdoor or landscape lighting is around $4,000, with most projects ranging from $2,000 to $6,000. The total cost can vary widely depending on several factors, including the number of fixtures, design complexity, and the type and quality of the lights used, such as wall sconces, pathway lights, or lamp posts. Other factors that influence the price are the square footage of the area being lit, the amount of electrical work needed, any required excavation or trenching, and local permitting costs. For specific types, you might pay around $100 for pathway or string lighting and up to $700 for lamp post lighting.
