Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some of the questions we hear most often about landscape lighting.
How much energy does LED landscape lighting use?
LED landscape lighting uses very little energy compared to older systems, which is one reason we recommend it for nearly every project. Low-voltage LED fixtures draw far less power, run cooler, and last for years, so you can light your yard nightly without worrying about high energy costs.
Can you add lighting to an existing landscape?
Yes, we regularly add lighting to landscapes that are already established. Our team designs a plan that works with your existing patios, plantings, and hardscape, then carefully installs fixtures and wiring with minimal disruption, so your yard gains warmth and visibility without a full redesign.
Is low-voltage landscape lighting safe?
Low-voltage landscape lighting is one of the safest options available for outdoor use. Because it runs on reduced voltage through a transformer, it greatly lowers electrical risk while still delivering bright, dependable light. Our team installs every system to code, with safety built into the design from the start.
Can the lighting run on timers or smart control?
Yes, your landscape lighting can be set on timers or connected to smart controls so the system turns on and off automatically. This makes it easy to enjoy a perfectly lit yard every evening, add convenience and security, and avoid the hassle of switching lights on and off by hand.
Do you handle the wiring and installation?
Yes, we handle the complete process from start to finish, including the low-voltage wiring and the installation of every fixture. As a design and construction team, we manage the design, trenching, wiring, and final placement ourselves, so the work is integrated, tidy, and built to last across your outdoor space.

What our customers say about our lighting
I found Dream Retreat via Google as I wanted a local company for our landscape refresh. We didn’t need a new layout, but rather grass changed to turf, refill our rock and replace all the lighting. Brendan was prompt and knowledgeable at our bid meeting. I appreciated his follow up and timeliness. Jacob and Alex were professional and informative at our breaking ground meeting. The project turned out perfect! The crew cleaned up everyday and were mindful of neighbors. I would highly recommend and use again for future projects. Thank you!
Had two major projects this summer. Dream Retreats added a lot of turf, trampoline, trees/plants, lighting, gravel, etc. They also had to accommodate a couple decking issues the pool builder caused. As with any project, there were a few glitches, but Todd offered to eat some of the cost for the misunderstanding, which he didn't need to do. Sonny was very responsive on design and listened to what we wanted. Alex was the project manager and was great to work with--he walked us through things, was on top of every OCD issue I had and offered some good advice. I think any company that goes out of its way to make sure you end up with what you want is a company you should do business with and these guys went way out of their way. All the people we worked with are people I'd like to work with again. And these guys were barely more expensive than some much less impressive landscapers. You pay for what you get and I'm very happy with their work. Our pool builder was good. These guys were better. I wouldn't consider getting more than one quote for any future landscaping work--really great company to work with.
I hired Dream Retreats in 2012. Everything they did has held up perfectly. Superb workmanship.
I had another landscape project and I went straight to Dream Retreats. I had my front yard overhauled. I converted to xeriscape, paver driveway for my RV gate, paver walkway and porch, and carried the pavers around to my paver patio, along with landscape lighting. I also had them do a outdoor BBQ. Everything looks phenomenal. I have gotten a TON of compliments from my neighbors saying how great my front yard looks. Dream Retreats is my go to landscape project company.
