Clean install, clean cleanup
Trenches re-sodded, mulch back in place, no zip-ties left in the beds. Iowa City homeowners tell us the cleanup is the part they remember.
Brass and copper, always
We don't install plastic or painted aluminum fixtures in Iowa City. Brass develops a patina, copper darkens beautifully, and both outlast the warranty period by a wide margin.
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.
What Iowa City homeowners say.
"Clean install. They re-sodded every trench line and you can't tell anyone dug in the yard. Cleanup alone separated them from the last contractor."
"Architect-quality up-lighting on our stone façade. Neighbors keep asking who did it."
"The in-person design was the difference. They walked the property with us at night and showed exactly where every fixture would land."

Ask Us Anything · (213) 752-393501What's the lifespan of LED outdoor lighting?+
Quality LED fixtures we install in Iowa City are rated for 40,000–50,000 hours. At 8 hours a night that's 15+ years before lumen depreciation becomes noticeable.
02Will trenching tear up my lawn?+
Minimally. We use a vibratory plow on most Iowa City 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.
03How is your pricing?+
Competitive and transparent. Iowa City 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.
04How quickly can you start?+
Most Iowa City projects begin within 2–3 weeks of contract signing. Permanent holiday lighting in October/November books out further — we recommend getting on the calendar by September.
