If you want to illuminate your yard, you might be tempted to grab a cheap DIY solar lighting kit from a big-box store. While it might seem like a budget-friendly quick fix, professional landscape lighting offers unmatched quality, safety, and customization. Before you spend your weekend digging in the dirt, here is what you need to know about going with a pro.
Do Professional Systems Last Longer? Yes. Store-bought kits often feature low-quality materials that struggle to survive the humidity and weather in Hampton Roads. At Coastal Virginia Lighting, we use premium, low-voltage, integrated LED fixtures that use 80% less energy than old halogen systems. Even better, our lighting fixtures are guaranteed for life, and we offer optional lifetime warranty plans so you never have to replace a bulb or fixture again.
Will Installation Tear Up My Yard? A common fear is that a lighting installation will ruin the landscaping. That couldn’t be further from the truth! Most projects are completed in just 1 to 3 days, and we professionally bury all wires to keep your yard looking clean. In fact, 24 hours after we finish, most homeowners can’t even tell we were digging. Because everything is low-voltage and properly buried, the system is completely safe for kids and pets.
What Makes a Professional Design Different? DIY kits are one-size-fits-all, but your home is unique. Our expert designers work with you to create a cohesive lightscape that accentuates your home’s specific architectural features, large trees, and outdoor living spaces. We can even incorporate high-end features like IP68-rated underwater lights for ponds and fountains, or Bluetooth-controlled bistro lighting and discreet outdoor speakers.
How Long Does the Consultation Take? We know your time is valuable. Our consultation process takes just 15 minutes. We listen to your goals, take a quick photo of your home to capture the vision, and deliver a custom lighting design and detailed quote within 24 hours.
