Know what belongs in a lighting estimate.

A compact entry and a deep backyard can need very different installation work even with the same fixture count. Compare the areas covered and the access needed to reach them. Landmark provides project-specific pricing after reviewing the property; no standard package price is published here.

• Fixture selection and distribution: output, beam pattern and the number of focal points.
• Power and cable routes: distance, access across existing hardscape and transformer requirements.
• Controls: the schedule and control approach actually included in the proposal.
• Installation scope: planting coordination, access and any separately required electrical work.

Ask each proposal to identify the walls, routes and planted areas being illuminated. A higher fixture count is not automatically a better composition. A lower quote may also omit an important route or assume easier access. Clarify what happens around existing stone, mature beds and irrigation before comparing totals.

Confirm the proposed fixtures, transformer and controls, installation limits, payment terms, scheduling assumptions and any warranty that applies to the quoted equipment and labor. Ask who will handle any new outlet or circuit if one is needed. No specific warranty, product brand, financing offer or completion time is assumed on this site.

If budget is the main constraint, identify the entry, route or focal point that matters most. Discuss future power needs and access before narrowing the first phase. This can make later decisions clearer, though exact expansion capability depends on the equipment and design agreed for your property.

Include your city, daytime and dusk photos, the areas you want lit, existing system details and any budget range you want Landmark to work within. Also identify planting or walkway changes planned for the same space. Request an estimate to confirm availability, scope and price directly.
