Why Annual Lighting Maintenance Matters
- Prolonged Life
Just like any other investment, your landscape lighting system requires care. Annual maintenance ensures that your fixtures remain in optimal condition. By addressing minor issues promptly, you extend the lifespan of your bulbs, transformers, and wiring. Imagine the enjoyment of your garden’s radiance for years to come!
- Consistent Performance
Flickering lights? Dim pathways? These are signs that your system needs attention. Our lighting technicians meticulously check connections, clean lenses, and reset fixtures during annual maintenance. The result? Consistent, reliable performance that enhances your outdoor experience.
- Safety First
Exposed wires, loose connections, and faulty diodes pose safety risks. Our team buries exposed wires, secures connections and inspects diodes. A well-maintained system ensures that your family and guests can navigate your property safely, even after sunset.
What Does Annual Lighting Maintenance Include
When our experts visit your property for annual maintenance, they roll up their sleeves and get to work. Here’s a breakdown of the services included:
- Connection Check
We examine connections, ensuring they’re secure. Loose connections can lead to flickering lights or complete outages. Our goal? A seamless flow of electricity through your system.
- Lens Cleaning
Dust, pollen, and environmental debris accumulate on fixture lenses over time. Our team carefully cleans each lens, restoring its brilliance. Say goodbye to dull, lackluster lights!

Overgrown plants can obstruct light distribution. We trim foliage near fixtures, allowing the full glow to illuminate your landscape. Beauty meets functionality!
- Tree Fixture Adjustment
Tree-mounted fixtures may need tweaking as trees grow. We ensure that screws are appropriately adjusted, accommodating the tree’s natural growth.
- Diode Inspection
Diodes are the workhorses behind your light output. We check them for wear or malfunction and replace them as needed. A small component with a big impact!
