"Memorial Day Weekend Nightmare: The week before Memorial Day, I hired Dave's Tree Service to trim the trees in my front-yard. He guaranteed me there would be three very experienced tree trimmers and two would be 'tree-climbers'. The project should be done in about 5 hours - give or take an hour. I said OK. However, on Weds May 23, when Dave arrived at my home, he only dropped one tree-climber and a handyman [both the tree climber and handyman were only recently hired] and the handy man had no real tree trimming experience. Let me say at the start of this review, the two workers are both good men and this review is not a reflection on them. When Dave was about to drive away [to work on other jobs] …. I asked where are the other workers? He responded they would be here shortly…. they never showed up. I'm paying HOURLY for a tree trimming project that includes three experienced tree climbers/trimmers and only one shows up and the owner disappears to work on other jobs with the meter running and my bill mounting. Quickly it became apparent the tree-climber did not have all the proper equipment to climb the trees. And I felt his safety was in question. In addition the handy man had to borrow some of my tools to start cutting branches. Throughout this ordeal I'm in constant contact with Dave and it one excuse after another, Though Wednesday was a disaster, Dave said he’d have the full crew at my house bright and early on Thursday... but I needed to pay him approx. $1,000 for the work done on Wednesday. My yard was a complete catastrophe and I need to get this project done. He had backed me into a corner... so I paid him the money. Thursday morning, NO ONE SHOWED UP! So... Dave says he’ll have a FULL CREW at my house on Friday. And they’ll get the project done on Friday no matter how long it takes. Come Friday, again only the tree climber and handy man show up. And the tree climber has to leave at 10:30 am for a doctor appointment... he never returned that day. Dave basically says; 'oh well...they’ll be back next Tuesday'. After six days [which should have been one], on Tuesday, May 29, three guys finally showed up and they cleaned up what was left. There were still trees needing to be trimmed but I just wanted them out of there. It cost me 'an arm and a leg’ for this nightmare. Let me say, this is an abbreviated version and I do have many more details. Fortunately, I took copious notes w/ videos in case I needed to go to court. If you hire Dave’s Tree Service, I suggest you be prepared to do the same."

Landscape lighting has a higher price point than indoor lighting because it's built to withstand harsh weather conditions. These systems use durable materials like cast brass and water-resistant wiring to withstand temperature extremes, rain, and snow. Many landscape lighting systems also come with a lifetime warranty, which adds to the cost but provides lasting peace of mind.
Many homeowners find that LED landscape lights are worth the investment. LED landscape bulbs offer greater energy efficiency and lower long-term costs compared to incandescent bulbs and sodium lamps. They use between just six and 15 watts, offering long-term savings on energy bills and bulb replacements while producing ample illumination.
Outdoor lights don't use a lot of electricity when you select energy-efficient options. The energy usage depends on the type of fixtures and the system design. For example, many holiday lights consume about five watts per unit, but larger installations can increase total energy consumption. By carefully planning the number of fixtures and their placement, you can maintain efficiency while ensuring effective illumination.
The expected lifespan of landscape lights is determined by the quality of the materials and installation methods. Landscape lights offer a set lifespan where hardwired systems withstand conditions for 10 to 25 years, and battery-powered or solar-powered units last for five to 15 years. Proper maintenance and installation extend longevity while ensuring consistent illumination.
The time necessary for landscape lighting installation depends on the size and complexity of the project. Professional installers can complete installation for hardwired systems within one to two days, whereas battery-powered or solar-powered setups only take several hours. Hiring a qualified professional is the best way to ensure the project is done safely and efficiently.
