What a landscape lighting maintenance visit covers

Outdoor lighting in Florida lives a rough life. Sprinklers hit it every morning, summer storms soak it, and roots and mowers move it around. Most systems don’t fail all at once. A fixture dims, a connection corrodes, a timer drifts, and one night half the yard is dark.

A maintenance visit catches that early. Here is what we do on every one.

We look at every fixture

We inspect each fixture and its connection, then clean the lenses and housings. A lens coated in hard water spots can cut the light coming out of it more than you’d think.

We check the transformer

The transformer is the heart of a low-voltage system. We check that it’s running right, that the settings make sense for the season, and that the timer or photocell turns the lights on when it should.

We follow the wiring

We inspect the wiring and every connection we can get to. Corrosion and loose splices are the most common reason a run of lights goes out.

We come back at night

Lighting is a nighttime product, so we check it in the dark. That’s where you see a fixture aimed at a fence instead of the oak, or one that’s dimmer than its neighbors.

You get a report

When we’re done you get a short written report on the condition of your system and anything we’d fix before it turns into a bigger problem.

If you’d like this done on a schedule, our maintenance plans start with one visit a year. Call or text 813-947-4025 to set one up.
