Hub-style wiring connections
Pierce-point connectors are the #1 reason landscape lighting in 50023 fails by year three. We use waterproof hub connections on every run.
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 Ankeny.
Permits and code, handled
Any line-voltage work in IA gets a permit and an inspection. We coordinate both — you don't have to call the city.
In-person lighting design
Every Ankeny project starts with a free in-home consultation after dark. You see exactly where each fixture will go and what it will illuminate.
What Ankeny homeowners say.
"Free design wasn't a sales pitch — it was a real plan. We added two more zones the following year and it integrated seamlessly."
"App control just works. Schedules adjust to sunset automatically and the holiday scenes are genuinely fun, not tacky."
"Quote came with everything itemized — fixtures, wiring, labor, transformer, controls. No surprises on the final bill."

Ask Us Anything · (213) 752-393501What's the difference between low-voltage and line-voltage?+
Low-voltage (12V) is what we install for landscape and accent lighting in Ankeny — safer, more flexible, and easier to expand. Line-voltage (120V) is for permanent architectural work and we handle that with proper permits in IA.
02How long does installation take?+
A standard residential install in 50023 takes 1–2 days. Larger architectural projects with permanent holiday lighting can take 3–4 days. We schedule around your weather window.
03Will outdoor lighting raise my electric bill?+
Barely. A typical 200-watt LED system in IA runs about $4–$8 per month even if it's on every night. LEDs draw roughly 1/7 the power of equivalent halogen fixtures.
04Can you light just the front yard?+
Absolutely. Plenty of 50023 projects are front-of-house only — façade up-lighting, path lights, and a couple of tree accents. Quote scales with scope.
