Clean install, clean cleanup
Trenches re-sodded, mulch back in place, no zip-ties left in the beds. Marathon homeowners tell us the cleanup is the part they remember.
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.
Right-sized transformers
We size every transformer for 70% load. That leaves headroom for voltage drop, future expansion, and the LED inrush current most installers ignore.
Free quotes, competitive pricing
Every Marathon project starts with a free on-site quote and itemized, competitive pricing in writing. No high-pressure sales, no surprise add-ons.
What Marathon homeowners say.
"Quote came with everything itemized — fixtures, wiring, labor, transformer, controls. No surprises on the final bill."
"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."
"Years on, zero failed fixtures. They came back once to swap a transformer — covered under warranty, no hassle."

Ask Us Anything · (213) 752-393501Will 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.
02What warranty do you offer?+
We warranty our work — fixtures, transformers, wiring, and labor. If anything fails in Marathon, we're back within the same week to make it right.
03How is your pricing?+
Competitive and transparent. Marathon 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 Marathon 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.
