Beautiful job done on Outdoor Lighting

We moved into our home ~3 years ago, and couldn't swing the cost of outdoor lighting for the first few years. We finally got around to the project, and got 3 quotes -- they came in at near the other 2 quotes, so we went with what we thought was the best/most professional quote (and, since we've worked with them before, and have been very happy with their worksmanship).

They did a great job with the outdoor lighting -- when the budget came in a little high, they worked with us to remove some optional/excess lights, and they did a great job of putting the mulch/planting back to exactly as it was before they arrived.

I'd highly recommend them.

Incredibly responsive and high quality work

We woke up to a basement flooding situation caused by a cracked pipe. I would have loved to have had HelpHive, but it wasn't launched yet! So, we quickly did some web searches and took our chances with a number of calls. We got extremely lucky with Crystal -- but, I knew I was in good shape when the woman who answered said that she'd have her 'Dad' call me right back, and that she thought he could visit that same day. Over the course of two weeks, he made approximately seven visits, and was incredibly professional every time, using high quality drying machines to resolve the situation -- I would highly recommend Crystal Carpet Cleaning.

My Questions

 
 

How much should good yard lighting cost? May 21, 2009

?
We recently decided to improve the lighting along our walkway, and throughout our landscaping. However, after we got a quote, we were surprised that the prices came back so high -- in fact, each light fixture cost ~$200, so the all-in cost with installation was estimated at $4,000. Is $200 per fixture high, or normal?

$200 is about average, but it depends if they are working around an establish landscape or a new one. This average should definitely include the timer, controller, wiring, etc...
At this point, I would recommend looking into the LED lights that are available now. They are more expensive up front, but the maintenance savings will quickly make up the difference. Typically on a low voltage system you are changing the bulbs once a year or so. LED, every 10 years or so! They are coming out with a much better selection in both fixtures and light temperature, so it is work a look.
