"I needed my basement wired, recessed lights, receptacles, custom work for a new business. Frank and Dave did a great job, they stayed as long as they needed to to make sure the work was done as per my specifications."
"My wife and I have dealt with quite a few different landscapers over the years, and while most are have been competent, their bench strength is not always deep. Once you get past the estimator/owner, the skills of the rest of the team drops off considerably. We have found that, at the end of the day, successful projects and happy customers are the result of having a strong team end-to-end. Our latest project involved removal of some of our existing landscape plants, and replacing them with more appealing plants, as well as the addition of some landscape lighting, and mulching. We called Pierce L. Shallis Landscaping (found via Angies list) and scheduled an appointment. When we first met with Pierce L. Shallis to discuss our project, we were very impressed with him. He was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. As things progressed, we became acquainted with the rest of the Shallis team: Cody was very good to work with in reviewing and mangaging the lighting package as well as the overall project execution. Heather and Barbie provided excellent and courteous front office support, communications and coordination. Both Pierce and Cody were present on the day the project was completed and were able to quickly answer any questions or concerns The install team was friendly, courteous, hard working, and meticulous. In short, Pierce and his team are great to deal with, across the board and have competitive pricing. We highly recommend Pierce L Shallis Landscaping for all of your landscaping needs."
"This is a follow up review. It is not very often that a small business owner takes customer satisfaction as seriously as Drew and Jessica. When we had some issues with the older less reliable lighting programing software, Drew upgraded us at the cost of the new hardware and did not charge us a cent for the labor involved. The new Lutron system has been exceptional and it is helping us both, Envision and my budget, save money since it is rock solid. Envison Outdoor Lighting understands what real customer satisfaction means and I totally, unequivocally, recommend them for ANY installation in Central NJ and Eastern PA !!!. They are trustworthy, fair and honest and represent all that can be right with small business entrepreneurs in the U.S. in 2025!

"Chris is by far the best overall contractor I have had the pleasure to deal with. Throughout the project he communicated with me to assure that the job was done as requested. He was always onsite at least 10 minutes before the scheduled time we agreed to. Also, Chris was very professional at all times. The electrical inspector was incredibly impressed with the work he seen and said that he wished all electricians showed the same attention to detail."
"After having another landscaper cancel our appointment at the last minute, I called Plymouth Nursery & within a few hours John was at my front door. What started out as a front walk landscaping project turned into a total landscaping transformation including a slate patio with a stone seat wall and lighting. We are so happy with the design and workmanship. It fits in so nicely with the details of our home and the lighting is such a nice touch."
"Mike, Patrick and his associate designed and provided excellent planning and installation of lights around the front of our house and swimming pool in the back. We are extremely satisfied and highly recommend them for outdoor lighting."
"Great service that puts up snowflake lighting all around our house , areas that we would not be able to do ourselves! Our kids love it and perfect addition for our regular Xmas party every year !"
"The previous fan was closed off to prevent cold air entering the bathroom. The new fan was installed in the ceiling and has a light. Everything was better than I expected. He arrived on time, brought everything he needed with him, was courteous (even with our cat), kept us informed of every step, and cleaned all areas."
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.

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.
To maintain your outdoor lighting and prevent major issues, you should regularly clean the fixtures, inspect the wiring and connections, and replace worn or burnt-out bulbs promptly. These simple steps ensure consistent operation and extend the life of your lighting system.
