Jon and his crew were on top of every detail.  Jon suggested improvements as the project went along; some at no-cost (e.g., a step up to the walkway) and others at a very reasonable cost (e.g., added lighting).  The Hutchins crew was meticulous, thorough and professional.  The result was beautiful.  Jon Hutchins believes in his product and stands by his work.  He was recommended to me, and I am glad I chose him for my project.  Two of my neighbors who watched Jon and his crew have engaged Hutchins Landscaping for their projects.

"I was pleased with the service. He put on shoe covers so he would not track inside debris. The electrician was honest and did not try add more to the bill. He was patient with my little dogs too."

"Couldn't have gone better, they Got the light mounted and established a switch inside to control it. Technicians Josh & Doug were friendly & very respectful of house. The owner, Scott, was very helpful setting up appointment and pricing. Very apparent all three gentlemen's concern was customer satisfaction. The Cost was significantly below other provider estimates I had obtained."

Lighting questions, answered by experts

One possibility is that they aren’t getting enough sunlight during the day, which could be due to a lack of sunshine in your area or trees blocking the solar panel. Alternatively, if the solar panel is dirty or the batteries are dying, your solar lights might not operate at full brightness.

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. 

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. 

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.

If half of a string of Christmas lights is out, it is likely because of a single burned-out, loose, or broken bulb within that section. Long strands of lights often contain more than one circuit, so when one bulb fails, it can cause the entire circuit (or half the strand) to go dark. To fix this, inspect the unlit section and test each bulb to ensure it is tight and functioning properly. Replacing the faulty bulb or repairing a damaged shunt will typically solve the problem.
