Real warranties on real parts
We install brand-name fixtures from manufacturers that actually honor their warranties. If a IA fixture fails inside the warranty window, you don't pay for the part or the labor.
Hidden wiring as a standard
Cable buried to local code depth, trunk lines routed away from beds you'll dig in, and every junction tucked out of sight. That's the baseline in Ames.
Lifetime craftsmanship guarantee
If our workmanship fails in 50014 — a loose connection, a sloppy splice, a fixture that wasn't mounted right — we come back and fix it. Lifetime, in writing.
Clean install, clean cleanup
Trenches re-sodded, mulch back in place, no zip-ties left in the beds. Ames homeowners tell us the cleanup is the part they remember.
What Ames homeowners say.
"The in-person design was the difference. They walked the property with us at night and showed exactly where every fixture would land."
"Permanent holiday lighting was worth every dollar. No more December ladder. The app is straightforward and the colors are sharp."
"App control just works. Schedules adjust to sunset automatically and the holiday scenes are genuinely fun, not tacky."

Ask Us Anything · (213) 752-393501What kind of fixtures do you install?+
Solid brass and copper, exclusively. Painted aluminum and plastic fixtures don't make it onto our trucks in Ames — they don't last long enough to warrant our labor.
02Can you light just the front yard?+
Absolutely. Plenty of 50014 projects are front-of-house only — façade up-lighting, path lights, and a couple of tree accents. Quote scales with scope.
03How is your pricing?+
Competitive and transparent. Ames homeowners get an itemized written quote on the spot at the free in-home design — fixtures, transformers, wiring, and labor all broken out, with no hidden fees.
04Will trenching tear up my lawn?+
Minimally. We use a vibratory plow on most Ames lawns, which slits the turf and pulls cable through without sod removal. Re-sod is included on the few runs where we have to dig.
