Why should I hire Gambino landscape lighting Specialists and not my landscaper or electrician?
The answer to this question is subjective and lies in how well you want the lighting system to perform, and if you want it to continue to perform and last over time. Do you place value in a standalone, specialized business that will be more responsive to your needs? Gambino Landscape Lighting is best set up to perform your project and maintain your layout, with the most experience with landscape lighting; this is the only aspect of work that we are involved in. Do you care about getting the most up-to-date, appropriate, cutting-edge products and build techniques? Is specific knowledge that only comes from experience in knowing what works and what doesn’t important to you? Most of our clients found out the hard way and spent a lot of money gambling with a general trade contractor designing and installing their lighting, when in the end it didn’t perform well or fell apart, and then hired us to provide a long-term solution that works. This is not to say that some general trade contractors cannot do a good job, but we have found this to be the rare exception and not the rule. The decision is yours to make. The selection of the most qualified individual or company is the single most important aspect of the process resulting in your project being a success or a failure.
Who hires Gambino landscape Lighting?
Our broad range of clients include not only owners of large estates, like famous celebrities from Hollywood and the music business, along with successful business professionals, but also everyday, ordinary folks with modest homes, and everything in between. What our clients have in common is that they take pride in their exterior environments, are not averse to investing in them, and have the design sophistication to adorn them with the highest quality amenities. They also have the financial capability to do so. We also do our share of projects for discerning owners of commercial properties, bringing attention and identity to their businesses after dark.
When should I get Gambino Landscape lighting involved in my project?

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is right now or when budget permits. The nice thing about landscape lighting is that it can be installed at any time. If you are planning a new or landscape renovation we should be brought in very early in the process so all of your options can be available to you and costly omissions and mistakes are not made before other phases of landscape and hardscape construction take place. Planning your Gambino landscape system early can pay big dividends later.
