Landscape Lighting Design & Installation

Improve the Lighting You Have or Plan Something New

Landscape Lighting Repairs and Troubleshooting

A dark section of the yard does not necessarily mean every fixture needs replacing. Tell us whether one light, a group of lights or the entire system has stopped working. Note whether the problem began after planting, digging, lawn work or a change to the equipment. That history helps focus the assessment.

We review the affected fixtures, connections, wiring and controls before explaining the repair options. For a low-voltage system, the assessment may also include the transformer and the electrical supply to the lighting. Uneven brightness or lights that work intermittently call for a closer look at the installation rather than a guess based on appearance.

If part of the system can be retained, we explain how the proposed repairs or upgrades relate to the existing equipment. The goal is a defined scope that addresses the findings and the areas you want restored.

Timers, Photocells and Lighting Schedules

Good outdoor lighting should be convenient to use. We discuss when you want the lights on, whether different areas need different schedules and how you prefer to make adjustments. Depending on the equipment, the options may include a timer, photocell or compatible smart control.

Share the model of any existing controller and describe what it currently does. Lights coming on at the wrong time may involve settings or equipment that needs evaluation. Before recommending a replacement, we review how the control works with the rest of the system.

At completion, we review the agreed operating schedule and show you how to use the installed controls. Keep the product instructions available for seasonal adjustments and any settings that may need attention after a power interruption.

Fixture Selection and Expanding an Existing System

You can begin with photographs or a description of the atmosphere you want. We discuss which paths, trees, entrances or gathering areas should receive attention, then review fixture placement, beam direction and finish options. The view from inside the home matters too: a well-placed light should highlight the intended feature without creating an uncomfortable glare at a window or seating area.

When adding fixtures to an existing system, we review the equipment and wiring arrangement before assuming the new lights can simply be connected. For low-voltage lighting, transformer capacity and the proposed wiring routes belong in that assessment. We explain any changes needed to support the agreed design.

Prepare for Your Landscape Lighting Estimate

For a project in Metairie or Greater New Orleans, share daytime photos of the property and, if practical, nighttime photos showing the areas you want improved. Include any available fixture, transformer or controller information. Let us know about planned landscaping or hardscape work so wiring access can be considered early.

We discuss the installation or repair scope, access needs and control preferences before work begins. The finished work includes checking operation and reviewing fixture direction and settings with you.
