Ongoing
Every lighting plan is created around how you move through and use your property after dark. We combine several fixture types to improve visibility, create a balanced appearance, and give you convenient control over the finished system.
Depends on fixture count, distance from power, and smart-control integration. Most homes install 10-25 fixtures. Every install is backed by the 15-year fixture warranty in writing.
Minnesota winters expose outdoor lighting to snow, moisture, ice, salt, and repeated temperature changes. We use professional-grade brass, copper, and stainless steel fixtures designed to resist corrosion and perform through changing seasonal conditions.
Fifteen years on every fixture, transformer, wiring component, and our installation workmanship. Most lighting companies offer one-to-three-year warranties because they install consumer-grade fixtures that quietly fail at year four. We install pro-grade systems and stand behind them for fifteen.
“They honored their warranty without question when we needed a minor repair after winter. That’s the difference.” — Michael H., multi-year client
Solid brass, copper, and stainless steel — never plastic. The kind of fixtures that develop a patina over a decade instead of cracking and corroding. The same materials commercial properties spec.
Commercial-spec materials
Free evening dusk-walk consult. We bring sample fixtures and show you exactly what your property will look like after dark, before you commit to anything.
Free 45-min dusk walk
Phone-app scenes, dusk-to-dawn schedules, vacation mode, and Alexa or Google Home integration. Plus a free annual check-up where we test, adjust, and replace bulbs as needed.
Smart + serviced
An LED retrofit can improve an older landscape lighting system without requiring a complete replacement. We assess the transformer, wiring, connections, fixture condition, and current layout before recommending which components can remain and which should be upgraded.
If the existing wiring and transformer remain in good condition, we may be able to build on the current system rather than replace everything. You will receive a written recommendation explaining which components can stay and which upgrades would provide the greatest improvement.
Landscape lighting costs depend on fixture count, fixture materials, wiring distances, transformer requirements, installation access, and smart-control features. Most residential projects include approximately 10 to 25 fixtures, but every system receives a custom layout and written quote.

North Ridge Outdoor Services provides residential landscape lighting installation from its Inver Grove Heights location across the south and east Twin Cities metro. Contact our team to confirm design-consultation and installation availability for your property.
Most residential lighting projects run $3,000 to $12,000, depending on fixture count, distance from power, and whether you add smart controls. We’ll give you an exact number after a free dusk-walk consult, before you commit to anything.
Lighting is invisible in daylight. We walk your property in the evening with sample fixtures so you see exactly what each one does before you sign off on a plan.
Yes, exclusively. LED uses up to 80% less energy than halogen, lasts 40,000+ hours, runs cooler, and holds a consistent warm-white color — which is also why we can back it for fifteen years.
Regularly. We’ll assess your existing transformer capacity and wiring, then design additions, fixtures, zones, or smart controls, that integrate cleanly instead of overloading what’s there.
Most residential installs finish in one to two days; larger or more complex layouts can run three. We bury every wire and restore the landscape, so there’s no visible trace of the install once we’re done.
Landscape lighting works best when it is planned alongside other outdoor improvements. Coordinating the installation can reduce disruption, simplify wiring routes, and give you one team and schedule for the connected work.
Build the outdoor space first — patio, plantings, walls — then light it up. Best bundled at the design phase.
5-YR HARDSCAPE WARRANTY
Keep the lawn around your new lighting looking as sharp as the fixtures — same crew, one phone call.
NO LOCK-IN CONTRACT
Smart sprinklers keep lit plantings thriving. Bundle during the trench phase for a cleaner install.
SMART CONTROL
Schedule a free evening consultation to see how different fixtures and placements could improve your property after dark. We will review your goals, identify lighting opportunities, and prepare a written design and quote for your system.
