"Principle Electric did a fantastic job in my kitchen renovation. I had under counter lighting and outlets installed, complex vent hood, new switches and fixtures. The original cabinet contractor was horrible and screwed up the installation of the cabinets which made the electrical work more involved and harder. Never a complaint, polite, clean and respectful. Would recommend this company to anyone. If I could add pictures of the work I would."

"I am still in the early stages of my project but I could not wait a second longer to brag on the wonderful, Jessica. From the moment we were on our call I was poured into and felt seen, heard & instantly connected to Jessica. Her passion and dedication for her work were quickly apparent and even though we’d only spoken for minutes, it felt like I’d known for years. Her interest and excitement for my project was a breath of fresh air. All of this is new to me and seeking the right help has not been the easiest process, but with Jessica, things felt right. We didn’t need to sleep on it or hold off because she made us feel sure. Despite having a smaller budget, Jessica was adamant about respecting that budget and making sure I was comfortable throughout the process. Her reassurance was comforting and her kindness was unmatched. I feel honored to have such an amazing human help turn our new house into a home. I am happy. I am excited and I am ready. Thank you, Jessica. Let’s do this! <3"

"John did a great job for me. I have an extensive outdoor low voltage system. Somewhere there was a short which was difficult to find. John took his time and through some trial and error, he found the problem. He also installed two new lights for me. He did a great job for us."

"Michael Pierce was phenomenal! Always very communicative, courteous and respectful of time. He also showed great knowledge in putting in both our new irrigation system (front and back yard) as well as our new lighting system - also front and back yard. I was also impressed with his knowledge and suggestions for placement of irrigation and lighting. It wasn't always about making a quick buck - he cared about our project and was with us the entire way - making this a great experience. Thank you Michael!"

"Everything turned out fine. When it first arrived, it was damaged in the shipping. It took them quite a while to get something back to us, or even to call me back when I wrote to them. But then, once they got the ball rolling, it went very quickly. It took them probably about a month to even get back to me. The price was very good. Once somebody actually did speak with me, they were very responsive. They were pretty professional when I spoke to them. I just think that they were light on manpower."

"We wanted tree and driveway lighting.  Bruce (the owner) was responsive to our call and promptly scheduled an appointment to meet with us at dusk so he could show us what each of the lighting options would look like at night.  He brought samples of different types of lighting and we were able to really see what the different options looked like in action.  On the day of installation, the team arrived on schedule. They were friendly, efficient and cleaned up after themselves.   We had a small problem with the "dusk to dawn" timer and when we called Bruce he arranged to come out and replaced it.  We are extremely pleased with the products and the services of Greatest Scapes Landscaping and highly recommend the company.

Lighting questions, answered by experts

Local building codes typically require conduit around exterior wiring. Conduit protects the wire from moisture, extreme temperatures, sun exposure, and harsh weather conditions to prolong its lifespan. When a wire is worn out, it can be dangerous as the risk of electric shock or fire increases.

It’s fair to be concerned about handling pool lights or wiring in a pool filled with water. But fortunately, pool lights and swimming pools are designed to make it easy and safe to replace the lights without needing to drain the water. Instead, you can turn off the electricity to the pool as a safety precaution, unscrew the pool fixture, pull it up and out to the side of the pool, then change the bulb.

Yes, professional landscape lighting is typically worth the investment. Installing a lighting system can improve your home’s curb appeal, safety, and security, and it can also deter burglars. It adds value to your home by creating a brightly-lit outdoor space you can use after dark and making the property more appealing to potential buyers. According to the National Association of Realtors, landscape lighting can add up to $2,500 to your home’s value, and on average, this type of home improvement has a 50% return on investment.

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.

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.
