Frequently asked questions
Is this service free?
Yes. Homeowners pay nothing to us. Independent lighting companies that receive requests may pay us for the referral.
Are you a lighting company?
No. We are a referral service. Independent local installers quote and do the work.
What does landscape lighting cost?
Angi's 2026 average is $3,500 and most pay $2,000 to $6,000. See the cost guide.
Do I need HOA approval in Highlands Ranch?
Yes for new or replacement fixtures, including landscape, accent and permanent eave lighting, under HRCA guidelines section 2.44. Temporary holiday lights don't need approval.
Is uplighting trees allowed?
Douglas County guidance discourages it but doesn't ban it for homes. HRCA requires the light to stay inside your property without glare. See tree and garden lighting.
Does low-voltage lighting need an electrician?
Colorado's electrician licensing law doesn't apply to class 2 and 3 power-limited circuits. New outlets and hardwired fixtures are electrical work. See low voltage vs line voltage.
What color temperature should I choose?
Douglas County suggests no higher than 3000K. HRCA prefers warm white under 3,000K for eave lights and caps backyard string lights at 2700K.
Will you share my details with lots of companies?
We share your request with one or more independent local installers, as the form says. We never sell your details to data brokers.
Want real quotes for your job?
