Landscape Lighting in Windsor

Landscape Lighting for Windsor properties

Windsor's century homes, tight city lots, rear alleys and big east and south end yards mean every kind of landscape, often on the same street. In Windsor's older neighbourhoods, lighting the front of a brick or century home, the walk and the mature trees out front brings out the house's character. In tight lots, we keep light aimed in and down so it doesn't spill into neighbours' windows.

What's included

Low-voltage LED lighting for paths, steps, trees, walls and patios, on a timer, so your property looks sharp after dark. Depending on your property, that can include:

• A lighting plan
• Low-voltage LED fixtures
• A transformer
• Buried, direct-burial cable
• Step and wall lights
• Night adjustment
• Plan the look.
• Install.
• Aim at night.
• Set the schedule.

Local details in Windsor

Windsor lost much of its ash canopy after the emerald ash borer arrived in 2002, so replanting with a mix of species is common. Flat clay ground drains slowly, which makes grading, drainage and soil prep central to any landscaping job in the city.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for landscape lighting in Windsor, get clear answers to these before you book:

• Is the system low-voltage LED?
• Do you aim and adjust the lights at night?
• Does the transformer have a timer or photocell?
• Will the cable be buried and the connections waterproofed?
• Who handles a new outdoor outlet if I need one?

Access, permits and local rules

Before any job we look at how equipment and materials will get in. On older Windsor streets, that's often a narrow side yard, a gate or the rear alley, and some jobs need smaller machines or wheelbarrows. Every dig starts with free utility locates through Ontario One Call. Work on the boulevard, driveway widening, curb cuts and city trees usually needs the City of Windsor's approval, and riverfront properties can fall under Essex Region Conservation Authority rules, so we check first.
