Pricing

Charleston and Lowcountry landscape lighting pricing that is easy to understand

Most landscaping and outdoor lighting companies keep pricing vague, but homeowners in Charleston, Mount Pleasant, James Island, West Ashley, Daniel Island, Folly Beach, Kiawah, and Beaufort deserve a clear idea of what a new install or repair will cost before the project starts.

Landscape lighting systems start around $2,250.

That starting point includes a transformer and 8 new lights fully installed. Most of our front-yard lighting projects fall between $2,500-$5,000 depending on the size of the property and design.

We do not charge more just because of what part of town you live in. Every job, whether it is a small repair or a full landscape lighting installation, benefits from more than 10 combined years of professional experience. We believe homeowners should be able to plan, budget, and compare options without surprises.

Pathlights, Uplights, and Well Lights

$250 each

Includes the fixture, lamp, wire, and labor. A minimum of 5 fixtures applies to new installation projects.

Step & Stair Lights

$275 each

Fully installed step and stair lighting pricing for outdoor transitions and entry stairs.

New Wiring & Connections

$4/ft

To run new 12/2 wire, retrench as needed, and labor to bury the new wire.

$25 per connection to rewire with new connectors.

Transformer

$250

Typical 300w transformer pricing for new low-voltage lighting installations and system upgrades. We usually install 300w in effort to give the homeowner future options and flexibility if they choose to add more lighting later.

Permanent Lighting

$38/ft

Straightforward permanent lighting installation pricing for homeowners planning a full install.

Service & Repair

$225 for the first 90 minutes

For the first 90 minutes, we will work to restore your system by testing the overall health of your transformer, wiring connections, fixtures, and lamps. We will reconnect poor wire connections based on how accessible they are to rewire if they are pulled apart, poor, or failing connections causing power outages in your system.

Other typical activities during your 90-minute on-site repair visit include re-aiming light fixtures for optimal beam spread, fixing fixtures that have fallen over or need the gimbal reset, cleaning lenses, and providing a follow-up report with diagnostics of the current system, findings, and recommendations based on what you should do next to restore or improve your existing system.

If additional work or parts are needed after the initial 90 minutes and you choose to proceed with the repair or a new installation, the service fee is waived. Additional work and parts depend on the diagnosis; we discuss the recommended next steps with you.

Warranty & Maintenance

Lifetime warranty

For every new install, we include a lifetime warranty on our fixtures, bulbs, and transformers as long as the homeowner maintains their yearly service package at $18 per fixture.
