View FAQs

Will landscape lighting increase my hydro bill?

No. Low voltage LED landscape lighting is very energy efficient and typically adds only a small amount to your monthly hydro bill.

Will the lighting look bright or noticeable during the day?

No. Fixtures are placed discreetly and designed to blend into the landscape, so they’re barely noticeable until nightfall.

Will the lighting feel harsh or too bright at night?

No. We use warm LEDs and carefully aim each fixture to create a soft, balanced glow without glare.

Can landscape lighting be added to an existing property?

Yes. Landscape lighting can be installed on existing homes and properties without disruption using low profile fixtures and buried wiring.

Will installing a sprinkler or irrigation system increase my water bill?

Smart irrigation systems adjust watering based on weather, soil conditions, and proper zoning, helping reduce wasted water.

Do smart irrigation systems really save water?

Yes. Weather based controllers and precision sprinkler heads can reduce water use by up to 50% by preventing overwatering.

Will installing a sprinkler system damage my lawn?

We use equipment designed to minimize trenching and surface disruption. In most cases, only small entry points are visible, and the lawn recovers quickly.

Can I control my sprinkler or irrigation system from my phone?

Yes. We install Wi Fi smart controllers that allow you to adjust schedules, start or stop watering, and monitor your system from anywhere.

How do you protect sprinkler systems during the winter?

We offer professional winterization backed by our No Freeze Guarantee. Using compressed air, all lines, valves, and heads are fully blown out so no water remains in the system.

What happens if a pipe freezes after winterization?

If a pipe or fitting freezes due to our winterization work, we repair it at no cost.

Do you offer sprinkler and lighting repairs?

Yes. We repair leaks, broken sprinkler heads, wiring issues, and lighting system failures on residential and commercial properties.

Can you repair or service systems you didn’t install?

Yes. We service and repair most existing sprinkler and landscape lighting systems, even if they were installed by another contractor.

How much does a sprinkler or landscape lighting system cost?

Every system is custom designed, so pricing varies based on property size, layout, and features. We provide clear, upfront pricing after an on site assessment so there are no surprises.

How long does installation take?

Most residential sprinkler and landscape lighting installations are completed within one to two days, depending on system size and complexity.

Do you handle everything from design to installation?

Yes. We manage the entire process in house, from system design and planning to installation, setup, and final adjustments.

What areas do you service?

We serve Muskoka, Simcoe County, York Region, and the Greater Toronto Area.

We didn’t really know what we wanted at first, just that our yard felt dark and unfinished. Mike took the time to walk us through a few simple ideas and what would actually make sense for our place. The difference the first night was huge, and he even came back after dark to fine-tune everything. The sprinkler system has been completely hands-off since day one. Honestly, nothing feels overdone. It all just works.

We just knew our yard felt dark at night but didn’t really know what to do. Mike walked the property with us and kept it simple. He added uplighting to a couple of our larger trees, path lights along the front walkway, and cleaned up the lighting around the patio so we actually use it now. Nothing overdone, just done right. He even came back after dark to make small adjustments until everything looked balanced. Install was clean, pricing was clear, and the whole process felt easy. Highly recommend.

We put this off for years and honestly wish we hadn’t. Our lawn always had brown spots and the gardens were hit or miss. Mike explained everything in plain language and made it clear what we actually needed. Separate watering for grass and garden beds, all controlled from our phones. The install was fast, clean, and way less disruptive than expected. Our lawn has never looked better and we don’t think about watering anymore. Worth every dollar.

We didn’t know much about outdoor lighting but our house was very dark at night and it bothered us. Mike came and gave simple ideas that made sense. He showed where small lights could go near the driveway and along the walkway so people can see better. He also put lights around our backyard seating area and now it feels warm and safe at night. Everything was clean and finished properly. No stress. No confusion. It looks beautiful and we are very happy we did it. Thank you Mike and team.

Before this we were always moving sprinklers around and still the grass never looked the same everywhere. Some areas too dry, some too wet. It was frustrating every summer. Mike installed the system and now it just runs on its own. We don’t wake up early to water and we don’t have to think about it anymore. The lawn finally looks even and healthy. The work was done quickly and the yard was left in good shape, which we were worried about. Very happy we went ahead with it. Should have done it years ago.
