Landscape Lighting Repair in Charleston, SC

What to Tell Us Before a Repair Visit

Tell us whether one fixture, a group of lights, or the whole system is out, and when the problem started. Mention recent landscaping, irrigation work, or changes to the timer.

• A photo of the transformer label and controls, if accessible
• Which lights are dark, dim, flickering, or switching on at the wrong time
• Any recent changes to the yard or existing system

Repair or Replace the Existing System?

A failed lamp or accessible connection may need a focused repair. Repeated failures, deteriorated fixtures, damaged cable, or an overloaded transformer may call for a wider upgrade. We assess the existing components and explain what can be retained before recommending a new installation.

• Voltage and voltage-drop problems
• Old halogen fixtures
• Poor spacing or harsh aiming

Built for Charleston Maintenance Needs

Lowcountry conditions can be tough on outdoor lighting. Moisture, mulch, irrigation, heavy rain, sandy soil, roots, salt air near coastal homes, and fast-growing landscaping can all create issues over time.

• Fixture cleaning and repositioning
• Connection checks
• Timer and transformer review
• Layout updates as landscaping grows

Design Details We Consider During Repairs

Repair is often a chance to make the system look better, not just turn lights back on. We look at fixture placement, beam spread, color temperature, glare, transformer capacity, and whether the layout still matches the property.

• What can be reused
• What should be replaced
• Fixture output and color temperature
• Wire and connection condition
• Transformer capacity
• Expansion options

Our Landscape Lighting Repair Process

1. Review the existing system, transformer, timer, fixtures, and problem areas.
2. Identify dead fixtures, dim zones, wiring issues, poor connections, or overloaded equipment.
3. Discuss whether repair, replacement, layout adjustment, or expansion makes the most sense.
4. Repair or replace low-voltage fixtures and connections carefully.
5. Adjust aiming, spacing, and controls where appropriate.
6. Recommend maintenance or future upgrades if the system needs ongoing support.
