I love my night lighting at home. I have over 80 lights show casing path ways, up lighting for trees, and lighting showcasing my small water feature as well as some directional lights for various objects we want to high light. I even have a street light in my woods along a path I converted to low voltage.
All the lights are incandescent low voltage lights. It it stunning spring, summer, fall and especially winter when it starts snowing.
This last year led lights have led the way in our lighting projects we have installed. They have perfected the color ranges to ensure a more natural light emitting from the fixtures. Led bulbs last up to 17 years, so changing bulbs every every couple of years is not in the program any more. They use less wattage which also allows for more lights per transformer. With led lights up can also mount lights much further from the transformer and not have voltage drop, which is a slight problem with the incandescent bulbs. The issue right now with led is the cost per fixture. Prices are dropping quickly , like what we experience with most electronics prices. Once they start mass producing, prices drop. Landscape lighting for your home is a mood setter and really compliments your landscape in the evening, and enhances security.
Some reviews I thought would be nice to enter in the blog.

I just had a large patio and planting beds done by Woody’s Custom Landscaping and they’re the best. They don’t get any better than this company. They showed up on time with the right equipment and the right work crew (large enough to do the job quickly). They came back and fixed a small problem within 48 hours. I will do business with this company anytime the need arises. They honor their verbal agreements and are reasonably priced.

Woody & team did an outstanding job working with us from idea to final completion. Woody responded immediately to our request for bid with an on target quote. Woody was able to give relevant edits to our concept to make it work on our property. His crew was exceptional: on time, friendly, kept the work site clean and did a quality job. When we needed to make adjustments, Woody & Jason communicated directly and up front so we knew what our options were. I am highly recommending Woody & crew to our neighbors and would certainly use Woody’s again.

Overall the experience was a good one, the crew that came and dug up the old lawn and resod were courteous and professional. After the job was done, there was no evidence of a job ever being done, for they cleaned up very well. Now my neighbors are making on how good the front lawn looks. I will definitely refer this landscaping crew to others.
Most people this time of year, who don’t know landscape construction, ask me some of the following questions.
You lawn mowing has slowed down now that the winter months are approaching right Woody?
It’s getting near pruning time you must get very busy?
You must be busy with leaf cleanup up this time of year, right Woody?
I usually gather my patience and go through the following:
No we don’t maintain any yards. That is for landscape maintenance companies.
We don’t mow yards, pick up leaves or prune too much.
By then their eyes glass over and I explain that we are a landscape construction company who work in Vancouver WA and Portland OR metro area.
We install the landscaping for our clients.
What does that mean? We install all landscaping projects. A simple front or back yard renovation.
A back yard paver or flagstone patio. New sod, irrigation systems, low voltage lighting, drainage,
water features, ponds, pathways, masonry work including cultured stone, soil preparation, purchase and planting plants, landscape design, retaining walls, sport courts, outdoor rooms, outdoor entertainment areas, gazebos, trellises, decks, and all outdoor construction big and small.
We have found our niche and believe that is what we do best. Why enter into another type of landscape business.
That is the reason behind the name Woody’s Custom Landscaping, Inc.. We install Custom Landscaping for each and every client we have, whether it is a small or large project. Our team of employees most likely have the highest number of certified people on staff vs. our competition. I know for a fact we have won the most residential landscape construction awards in South West Washington. We offer our service and expertise to our clients each and every day.
We are proud that we are Green Professionals by the name of Woody’s Custom Landscaping Inc.
Many clients wonder if a landscape designer is really that necessary to draw a design for their landscape. Yes it may cost some money, but I consider it a good insurance policy and as a guide to what landscape needs you may have.
Why should you hire a landscape designer?
Their job is to provide you with a functional as well as aesthetic master plan.
To help ensure that the right plants and material are needed.
Many do-it-yourselfers select improper plants and inadequate materials. I see it everyday.
To avoid costly mistakes especially for do-it-yourselfers.
I have replaced many home owner projects over the years. No master plan. Plants to large, etc.
To save you time, money and frustration.
To preserve or increase the value of your property.
To help create a healthier planet.
To relax knowing you’ve hired a trained and experienced landscape professional who will be there with you from start to finish, no matter the size or complexity of your project.
