"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."

"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."

"They were the most expensive quote I received however you get what you pay for, phenomenol job! Pavers lifted to install across the driveway and he cut the top of the mailbox to install fixture. He did the work himself and did not send workers. Highly recommend and worth the wait."

Lighting questions, answered by experts

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

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.

Before investing in motion sensor lights, there are a couple of disadvantages worth noting. For starters, they’re not as reliable as other forms of lighting. Motion sensor lights can be accidentally triggered by pets or wind, which can become a nuisance after a while. The opposite situation can occur, too, where they don’t turn on when you need them to. 

You can take a few steps to prolong the life of your holiday lights. Make sure to replace burnt-out bulbs as quickly as possible to avoid overloading the rest of the circuit and knocking out more lights. Before packing them up each year, plug each strand into the wall to confirm everything is still working. Wrap the lights carefully back into their original packaging or something similar—winding a strand tightly together or leaving it to hang loose in a storage bin can lead to frayed or damaged wiring. 

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.
