Your landscape lighting installation includes energy-efficient LED fixtures specifically chosen for South San Francisco’s coastal climate. We use low voltage systems that are safer, more reliable, and easier to maintain than traditional high-voltage alternatives.
Every fixture comes with weather-resistant housing designed to handle Bay Area fog, salt air, and occasional heavy rains. The LED technology we install typically lasts 15-20 years with minimal maintenance, making it a smart long-term investment for your property.
Smart lighting integration is available for homeowners who want smartphone control, programmable schedules, and the ability to adjust lighting scenes for different occasions. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply want gentle pathway lighting for evening walks, your system adapts to your needs.
Our installations include landscape path lights for safe navigation, accent lighting to showcase your best landscape features, and security lighting for areas that need enhanced visibility. Each element works together to create a cohesive lighting design that enhances both beauty and functionality.
Landscape lighting costs in South San Francisco typically range from $3,000 to $15,000 depending on your property size, the number of fixtures, and the complexity of your design. Most homeowners invest between $5,000 to $8,000 for a comprehensive system that includes pathway lighting, accent lighting for key landscape features, and security lighting for main areas.
The investment pays for itself through increased property value and reduced energy costs compared to traditional lighting. LED fixtures use 75% less energy than halogen alternatives and last 15-20 years, making the long-term value exceptional.
We provide detailed, transparent pricing during your consultation so you know exactly what you’re investing in before any work begins.
Low voltage outdoor lighting operates at 12 volts instead of your home’s standard 120 volts, making it significantly safer and more energy-efficient. The lower voltage means less risk of electrical shock, easier installation, and the ability to run wiring without extensive electrical permits in most cases.
Low voltage systems also give you more flexibility in fixture placement and make future modifications simpler. The LED fixtures we install with low voltage systems produce the same light output as traditional fixtures while using a fraction of the energy.
From a practical standpoint, low voltage landscape lighting is more reliable in South San Francisco’s coastal environment, with less risk of weather-related electrical issues and easier troubleshooting if problems ever arise.
Most landscape lighting projects in South San Francisco take 2-5 days to complete, depending on the size of your property and the complexity of your lighting design. Simple pathway and accent lighting might be finished in 2-3 days, while comprehensive whole-property installations typically take 4-5 days.
The timeline includes all electrical work, fixture installation, and thorough testing of your entire system. We provide guaranteed start and completion dates with every project—something rare in our industry but standard for us.
Weather can occasionally impact outdoor installation schedules, but we communicate any changes immediately and adjust timelines to minimize disruption to your routine. Most of our work happens during daytime hours to avoid disturbing your neighbors.
Quality LED fixtures installed properly do last 15-20 years under normal operating conditions. The LED chips themselves are rated for 50,000+ hours of operation, which translates to decades of typical evening use. However, the actual lifespan depends heavily on the quality of fixtures and installation.
We use commercial-grade LED fixtures with weather-resistant housings specifically designed for Bay Area coastal conditions. Cheap LED lights from big box stores often fail within 2-3 years due to moisture infiltration or poor electrical connections.
The key is professional installation with proper electrical connections and fixtures rated for outdoor use. When done correctly, your biggest maintenance task will be occasionally cleaning the fixtures and trimming vegetation that might grow to block the light output.
Yes, smart lighting controls integrate seamlessly with modern landscape lighting systems and are increasingly popular with South San Francisco homeowners. Smart controllers allow you to operate your outdoor lighting from your smartphone, create custom lighting schedules, and even adjust brightness levels for different occasions.
Popular features include automatic sunset/sunrise scheduling, vacation modes that vary your lighting patterns for security, and the ability to create different “scenes” for entertaining versus everyday use. Many systems also integrate with existing smart home platforms like Alexa or Google Home.
The smart controls add approximately 15-25% to your total project cost but provide convenience and energy savings that many homeowners find worthwhile. We can retrofit existing systems with smart controls or include them in new installations from the start.
Professional landscape lighting requires minimal maintenance when installed correctly. Most homeowners spend 30-60 minutes twice per year cleaning fixtures and checking for any vegetation that might be blocking light output. LED systems are particularly low-maintenance compared to traditional halogen systems.
Seasonal tasks include cleaning fixture lenses to maintain optimal light output, checking that pathway lights remain properly aimed, and occasionally trimming plants that may have grown to obstruct lighting. The weather-resistant fixtures we install handle South San Francisco’s fog and occasional storms without issues.
Professional maintenance visits aren’t typically necessary, but we’re always available if you notice any fixtures not performing correctly. Most issues, if they occur, are simple fixes like loose connections or fixtures that need realignment after ground settling.
