Lighting systems vary based on property size and design complexity. We provide detailed, itemized quotes after your free on-site consultation — so you know exactly what you're getting with no surprises.
Not at all. Low-voltage LED systems produce minimal heat and no UV radiation, making them completely safe for plants and trees. Our installers are trained to position fixtures without damaging root systems or bark.

In most cases, yes. We assess the existing system's capacity and controller, then design the expansion accordingly. Very common when homeowners add new garden beds or landscaping.
We use Rain Bird and Hunter — the two most trusted names in irrigation. Both offer excellent warranties, smart home integration, and proven durability through Muskoka's harsh seasonal swings.

Our spring start-up includes pressurizing and activating the system, checking all heads and zones, adjusting spray patterns, programming the controller for the new season, and a full system health report.
For many seasonal services, we can complete work without you present — we notify you before arriving and send a full service report when finished. For initial consultations, we prefer walking the property together.
