You may have seen an advertisement that reads something like this:
“For Hire, we do drip irrigation installation, install lawn sprinkler systems, our other services include low water installation, landscape lighting, drainage & erosion control and more.”
Look closely at the services this irrigation company offers and see if you can identify the one which doesn’t fit. Clearly the trade that rises to the top like water in oil is landscape lighting. The old saying “choosing the right person to do a certain job is as important as the job itself” comes to mind when I see an advertisement such as this, or visit a home to fix the outdoor lighting completed by an irrigation company left behind. This statement rings true when it comes to choosing the right person to install your outdoor lighting. You cannot imagine how many times I have responded to a homeowner in dire need to get their outdoor lighting straightened out by a professional after hiring someone not qualified, nor with any knowledge or experience of how to install outdoor lighting. I can’t stress enough how important it is to hire a professional outdoor lighting company to do it right the first time.
Within this industry the fault line is usually drawn when a homeowner decides to let his landscaper or irrigation company install their outdoor lighting. Many people assume that since these trades are well versed in the areas where most outdoor lighting is typically placed, that they are capable of doing the lighting. Many times the homeowner says ” why not let my irrigation company or landscaper install my lighting while the area is already cleared and dug up for the task.” Regretfully, what usually ensues is a poorly executed outdoor lighting installation with improper fixtures, poor design execution, or not enough of the appropriate fixtures to achieve the desired effect. Many times, the fixtures are the wrong kind, the wiring is done incorrectly and in some cases once they leave your property you will never see them again. Outdoor lighting installations such as these usually come with no service , no warranty and no one to help you when things turn out to be less than expected.
The fact remains that those trained and certified in their specific area of expertise deliver better results when you hire them to do what they do best.
