Real warranties on real parts
We install brand-name fixtures from manufacturers that actually honor their warranties. If a MN fixture fails inside the warranty window, you don't pay for the part or the labor.
Clean install, clean cleanup
Trenches re-sodded, mulch back in place, no zip-ties left in the beds. Carlton homeowners tell us the cleanup is the part they remember.
Hub-style wiring connections
Pierce-point connectors are the #1 reason landscape lighting in 55718 fails by year three. We use waterproof hub connections on every run.
Brass and copper, always
We don't install plastic or painted aluminum fixtures in Carlton. Brass develops a patina, copper darkens beautifully, and both outlast the warranty period by a wide margin.
What Carlton 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."
"App control just works. Schedules adjust to sunset automatically and the holiday scenes are genuinely fun, not tacky."
"Permanent holiday lighting was worth every dollar. No more December ladder. The app is straightforward and the colors are sharp."

Ask Us Anything · (213) 752-393501Are permits required?+
Low-voltage landscape lighting in MN generally does not require a permit. Line-voltage exterior circuits and any new sub-panel work do — we pull those when needed and coordinate with the inspector.
02What warranty do you offer?+
We warranty our work — fixtures, transformers, wiring, and labor. If anything fails in Carlton, we're back within the same week to make it right.
03Do you do commercial properties?+
Yes — restaurants, hotels, HOAs, and offices in and around Carlton. Commercial projects in 55718 are scoped and priced separately from residential.
04Will outdoor lighting raise my electric bill?+
Barely. A typical 200-watt LED system in MN runs about $4–$8 per month even if it's on every night. LEDs draw roughly 1/7 the power of equivalent halogen fixtures.
