Brass and copper, always
We don't install plastic or painted aluminum fixtures in Nelson. 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 MN gets a permit and an inspection. We coordinate both — you don't have to call the city.
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 Nelson.

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 Nelson — they don't last long enough to warrant our labor.
02What color temperature do you recommend?+
For most Nelson homes we install 2700K — a warm white that flatters brick, stone, and landscaping. We'll demo 3000K side-by-side at the consultation if you want to compare.
03Are 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.
04How long does installation take?+
A standard residential install in 56355 takes 1–2 days. Larger architectural projects with permanent holiday lighting can take 3–4 days. We schedule around your weather window.
