"Excellent service. I had a large chandelier moved. Not an easy job. The electrician also found a track light with an off-center connection that I could not find anywhere locally or online. My top recommendation."

"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."

"They sent the color choices and directions promptly. I was a little nervous about doing the measuring and making a pattern without assistance so procrastinated a bit. Once I sent in the order details I had hoped I would hear back with an estimated delivery time, but that didn't happen. However, I was in no hurry, so I didn't even really pay attention to how long it took. Maybe a few weeks. Not sure."

"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.

"I requested quotes from several landscape companies. This quote was in line with the others. The difference was the knowledge of the owner of the company for beach front properties, and the issues I would be facing by installing various types of plants. The company has a landscape professional on board, and Johanna was helpful and professional with my questions and only planting things that would be easily maintained on the beach. The crew installing the plantings, moving large palm trees, etc., was much faster than I expected. With one place where outdoor stone was being installed, the crew manager did not like the way the stones looked and were being laid, had the entire area started over with a different stone, with no additional cost. My irrigation system and landscape lighting was over 20 years old and had to be updated. The crews for both systems were also punctual and professional, and now the house looks excellent.
I have also had issues over the winter months with several things, and the company is responsive, sets appointments and handles the issues promptly. I will continue to use this company.

While most general electricians can repair lamps and light fixtures, it is often better to hire a lamp repair specialist. Many electricians prefer larger jobs, such as fixing electrical systems or relocating fixtures, and may not offer lamp repair services due to the small scale of the work. Additionally, some lamps, particularly antique models, require dedicated expertise that a general electrician might not have. A lamp repair specialist will be familiar with various types of fixtures and can provide a more dedicated service. If you have already hired an electrician for a larger project, you can ask them to look at your lamp, but for a standalone repair, a specialist is typically the best option.

Yes, animals can trigger motion-sensor lights. In fact, this is a reason why some homeowners install motion-sensor lights, to catch sneaky little critters looking through the rubbish for a midnight snack. There are sensitivities to animal detection though, so you may want to look for an option that avoids animal detection as much as possible.

Pool lights are designed to be safe by protecting swimmers from electrocution. These lights are made with waterproof fixtures and seals to prevent contact with the water.

Electrocution from pool lights is still possible, but rare. Faulty wiring or broken lighting equipment can make lights unsafe, so it’s important to replace lights as needed and have an electrician inspect and upgrade the wiring.

If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.
