Landscape Lighting FAQ for Columbia Homeowners

How often should Columbia homeowners get landscape lighting?
Given Columbia's hot, humid summers averaging 92°f — columbia is one of the hottest us cities, most homeowners benefit from landscape lighting at least once a year. Year-round termite monitoring in hot and humid conditions often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Columbia most need landscape lighting?
Brick ranch homes throughout Richland and Lexington counties and Victorian homes in the Shandon and Elmwood Park neighborhoods are the most common home types in Columbia and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
Is landscape lighting expensive to run?
Modern LED landscape lighting uses very little electricity — a typical 10-fixture system costs approximately $3–8 per month to operate, depending on your local rates and hours of operation.
How long do landscape lights last?
Professional-grade LED landscape fixtures typically last 10–15 years. The low-voltage transformers and wiring are designed to last even longer with minimal maintenance.
Can landscape lighting be expanded later?
Yes. All our systems are designed to be expandable. We size the transformer to handle additional zones, so adding fixtures in the future is straightforward.
