Landscape Lighting Installation Service

Outdoor spaces are an extension of our homes. They are places where we entertain, relax, and create memories. But when the sun goes down, does your outdoor space retreat into the shadows? With landscape lighting, your garden's beauty can shine all day and night. At Mr. Electric, our team of experienced electricians offers a wide range of professional services including landscape lighting installation, repair, and replacement, so you can get the most from your most important investment.

Understanding the Basics of Landscape Lighting

Landscape lighting enhances your property’s appearance, boosts safety, and increases its nighttime appeal. When strategically placed, these lights can transform an ordinary garden landscape into an enchanted outdoor oasis. The key is to illuminate not just the home's structure but also the yard, pathways, and the special features of your garden. In the hands of a professional, landscape lighting creates a poetic interplay of light and shadow that highlights the property's best features. Well-lit exteriors also serve as a deterrent for potential intruders, offering an added layer of security for your home.

Different Types of Landscape Lighting

Let's take a look at the variety of landscape lighting available to enhance your outdoor space.

Spotlighting is typically used to highlight particular features, like trees, statues, or architectural details.
Path lighting enhances safety and aesthetics by illuminating walkways, steps, and driveways.
Underwater lighting is a must if you have a pond, pool, or fountain, adding a touch of magic to these water features.
Accent lighting is more concentrated and used to draw attention to a specific garden feature, such as a bench or an exotic plant.

Each of these types has its unique applications, and a combination often yields the best results.

How to Choose the Right Landscape Lighting for Your Home

Choosing the right landscape lighting requires consideration of your home's architectural style, your yard's landscape features, and your overall purpose. Do you want to set a tranquil mood, ensure safer navigation, or highlight specific features? Focus on avoiding overly bright lights that cause a blinding effect and spots that are too dark, which can become black holes in the landscape. A well-thought-out lighting plan can strike the right balance.

Landscape Lighting Techniques

Here are some techniques that professionals use to achieve optimal illumination:

Uplighting is used to illuminate an object from below
Down-lighting is the opposite, where light is installed high and aimed downward to simulate natural light.
Cross-lighting involves placing lights on either side of an object to highlight it, reducing harsh shadows.
Shadowing is a technique where lights are placed in front of an object to cast a shadow on a surface behind it, adding depth and interest to the scene.

Our Customers Love our Services

John was on time, explained the issue I was having, offered me a couple of options, and then repaired the switch that was giving me problems, following my preferences of the choices he had given me. He was pleasant, professional, and did a great job. Would not hesitate to use Mr. Electric again!

Sue Trautner

Austin, electrician and his teammate we’re great! Both were punctual, courteous, and very informative in explaining the situation and their recommendations to replace a bad breaker in our panel. There was NO frivolous attempt up-sale to items we didn’t need and they were straight to the point honest in their recommendation. In the end, I would described the customer service Austin and his teammate provided me as, AWESOME! Being a new home owner, I am glad I have found this company and will be using them any future electrical needs!

Mark Flores

Outstanding communication and very professional service. I would highly recommend Mr. Electric. Received both e-mails and texts on appointment to include a photo and short bio of the actual electrician (Brad Mason) who would be doing the work. Wish all home service providers did the same. Brad was on time (actually a few minutes early). He installed 30AMP breaker and associated RV plug in our garage. To avoid any sheetrock repairs it was necessary for him to drop the line to the house electric panel through a wall with foam insulation, with very limited head/body clearance for him to work. No mess left behind from the actual plug installation on another wall.

Rick from Mr. Electric arrived when expected and quickly diagnosed the problem. He recommended a solution and gave us a proposal for solving the problem. We asked when he could do the work and how long would it take. He said he could do the job that day and it would take 4 or 5 hours. The price was reasonable, and we told him to get started. He did a very good job, neat and within the estimated time. The invoice amount for the job was was the same as the proposal amount. We are planning on having Mr. Electric and hopefully Rick do more work in the near future to upgrade our home's 50+ year old electrical system. Photo of our new circuit breaker panel.
