"I moved to my new home in Aug 18. All the landscape lights were shot. Was looking for a good landscape company to fix it and provide design input. Talked a few and was not happy with them ( price and trust). Then I came across Rodrigo and everything changed. He was prompt, professional, polite and very knowledgeable. Within about 30 mins of meeting him and discussing his thoughts on improving my landscape lights and hearing his price quote, I signed him up and did not regret it till today. He was prompt, did the job better than promised and a great job at that. I still go and admire the lights every night till i get used to them. He not only installs the lights but also provides feedback on best practices specific to your home. Simple example, after he completed the light installation, he pointed out that the 2 lamps near my front door did not match the indoor lights and landscape lights and recommended I change them to match it. He provided 2 new lights that matched my indoor and new outdoor lights and were brighter and more efficient. All in all a definite recommend. I asked him if he provided any other home services like sprinklers, etc. Unfortunately he does not do more than landscape lights, or I would have certainly signed him up for those as well."

"I learned the most important lesson from this project-it is vitally important to hire designer before hiring contractors. Lighting by Design is not only a expert on lighting but also a designer, an exceptional designer for remodeling. They are so honest and caring service provider that they did not hesitate to tell us upfront if anything was not right for us. We are extremely happy with their services and care. We strongly recommend Lighting by Designer to anybody who are looking for quality work. I am sure you will get the result which exceeds your expectation."

"Thank you Scenic View for a fantastic plan for our major hardscaping and landscaping project that you completed in a timely and professional manner, and at a reasonable cost. We thought we had a good plan, but Ryan, the designer, came up with one that was infinitely better. Ryan stayed with the project every day until completion, and Frankie, the owner, also made sure things stayed on track. The crew that did the labor was meticulous and worked incredibly hard. Our tired, 1980’s landscaping was transformed by pavers, planting, new grass, and outdoor lighting. We are 100% satisfied with Scenic View Landscaping, and they’re nice guys too."

Lighting questions, answered by experts

The lifespan of a pool light depends on the type, but thankfully, these lights are designed to last a long time before they need to be replaced. LED bulbs last the longest, about 20,000 to 30,000 hours, while incandescent bulbs last the shortest amount of time, about 1,000 to 5,000 hours. Fiber optic pool lights will last around 6,000 hours.

Yes, outdoor lights and receptacles should be on a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) for safety. The outdoors is considered a wet location where GFCI protection is generally required. A GFCI enhances safety by automatically tripping and shutting off the circuit if it detects an imbalance, which protects against electrocution and reduces the risk of an electrical fire. While it is the safest approach for all outdoor electrical components, specific requirements can vary depending on the type of light (e.g., pool lights), its location, and local electrical codes. For guidance tailored to your specific situation, it's best to consult a professional electrician.

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.

Your maintenance needs revolve around the type of foundation you choose, as well as how you furnish or decorate it. Patios require little else other than the occasional hose-down, but decks and other wooden structures will require annual power washing and sealing. You may also need to restain the wood every two to three years.

Adding a solid roof rather than building a pergola or leaving the space open will make maintenance much easier. Without a roof, you will need to spend more time sweeping, washing, and covering your furniture to protect it from UV bleaching.

Although security lighting may not deter a determined burglar, its presence will make your property that much less enticing to would-be trespassers. When paired with other types of home security systems like alarms and surveillance cameras, strong lights will better help you and the authorities identify thieves in the instance they attempt to break in or succeed at doing so.
