Who They're For and What They Solve
Landscape lighting is a permanent low-voltage system built into your yard. A transformer steps household power down to a safe level, buried cable carries it to weather-rated fixtures, and a timer or photocell runs everything automatically. The fixtures are then aimed by hand so light lands where you want it.
Most people come to landscape lighting after finishing something worth looking at. A new patio, a stone walkway, a mature tree, or a front entry that simply vanishes once the sun drops. Homeowners with dark steps, unlit side yards, or blind corners near a door also start here for plain safety reasons.
Landscape lighting solves two problems at once. It removes trip hazards along paths and stairs, and it gives you back hours of usable outdoor space every evening. Left undone, a yard you paid to build sits unused after dark, and dark walkways stay a liability every single night.
Is It Time?
Most people recognize at least one of these right away.
Our Services
We handle every part of a lighting system, from the fixtures you see to the wiring you never will.
Low fixtures spaced along walks, drives, and garden routes to put light on the ground where feet go. This is the right starting point anywhere people move at night. Done correctly it lights the surface without glaring into anyone's eyes.
Ground-mounted directional fixtures aimed up into trunks, canopies, and architectural faces. This is what creates depth and makes a yard look layered instead of flat. Best for mature specimen trees, columns, and textured walls worth showing off.
Small fixtures integrated into retaining walls, stair risers, seating, and columns. The hardware stays hidden in the structure while the light washes the surface. Ideal for patios, outdoor kitchens, and any stairway that needs to be visible without looking lit.
The part nobody sells and everybody needs. We size the transformer to your total load, choose wire gauge by run length, bury cable properly, and set timers or photocells. This is what separates a system lasting fifteen years from one failing in three.
Not sure which approach your situation needs? We assess first and recommend only what’s necessary, no upsells.
Why Homeowners Choose Mr. Local Services
In business since 2001. Your lighting is designed by the same crew that builds landscapes, so fixtures get placed with plant growth and sightlines already accounted for.
You receive an itemized proposal listing every fixture, transformer, and cable run. The number you approve is the number you pay, with no change orders mid-project.
Every system comes with a written five-year workmanship warranty. If a connection, run, or mount fails within that window, we come back and correct it at no charge.
Runs are hand-trenched around root zones rather than machine-cut through beds. No visible cable, no torn-up plantings, and the site cleaned up the same day we finish.
How It Works
Call 951-458-6466 and we walk your property together, usually within three business days, marking what deserves light and what does not.
We set temporary fixtures so you see the actual effect after dark, then deliver an itemized flat-price proposal within two business days.
Most residential systems install in one to two days. We hand-trench cable runs, set the transformer, mount fixtures, and restore the site fully.
We return after dark to fine-tune every aim with you present, set the timer, and hand over your written five-year warranty.
Pricing
We publish real numbers because vague quotes waste everyone’s time. Most residential landscape lighting projects land between $2,800 and $9,500, with focused single-area installs starting near $1,600.
Four things move that number:
Fixture count: the biggest driver. A front entry needs six to ten fixtures; a full property with trees, paths, and hardscape often needs twenty-five or more.
Transformer capacity: larger systems need higher-wattage transformers, and occasionally a second unit for separate zones.
Cable run length: long runs to back corners require heavier wire gauge and more trenching labor.
Controls: a basic timer costs little, while multi-zone, dimming, or app-based control adds to the total.
Your written proposal itemizes every line before work begins. Call 951-458-6466 for a free walkthrough and a flat price.
Most residential landscape lighting systems install in one to two days. Larger properties with long cable runs occasionally need a third day.
No. Low-voltage systems tie into a single exterior outlet. We are licensed to handle the connection and the full installation ourselves.
Cable runs are hand-trenched around root zones rather than machine-cut. Beds are restored the same day, and mature plantings stay intact.
Quality brass and copper fixtures with LED lamps typically run fifteen to twenty-five years. LED lamps themselves last 40,000 to 50,000 hours.
Yes, if the transformer was sized with headroom, which is how we spec every install. Expansion zones are planned into the original design.
Fixtures need an occasional lens wipe and a seasonal aiming check as plants fill in, and our ongoing landscape maintenance service folds that into regular visits so nobody has to remember it.
Path lighting points down to light walking surfaces safely. Uplighting points up into trees and walls to create depth. Most yards benefit from both.
The walkthrough is free, the price is written and flat, and the workmanship is warrantied for five years. Most consultations are scheduled within three business days.
