Got questions about our irrigation or outdoor lighting services? We have gathered answers to the questions our customers ask most before getting started.
Evergreen Contracting & Irrigation offers full service for outdoor lighting systems, including design, installation, and maintenance. Our maintenance covers evening visits to adjust fixtures, updates as your landscape grows, transformer voltage checks, and timer or switch adjustments. We also honor manufacturer warranties and stand behind our workmanship. Contact us to set up professional lighting care.
In landscape lighting, low voltage means the system runs on 12 volts instead of the standard 120 volts in your home. A transformer connects to a regular outlet and steps the power down from 120 to 12 volts. That reduced voltage then feeds the wire that powers your outdoor fixtures. This setup makes the lighting both safer and more efficient.
LED stands for light-emitting diode. LEDs produce light with far less heat and last much longer than traditional incandescent bulbs. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that LEDs use about 75% less electricity for the same light output. That efficiency makes them the top choice for outdoor lighting. Contact our team to explore LED options for your property.
We offer low-voltage packages to fit a range of budgets. LED systems cost more upfront but save money over time through lower operating costs. Incandescent systems cost less at first but more to run and maintain. Our team helps you pick the right fit for your needs. Packages generally start around $1,500.
No. LED landscape lighting is very affordable to run, which is why we recommend it for every project. The U.S. Department of Energy notes LEDs use about 75% less electricity than incandescent bulbs. A 4 or 5-watt LED can replace a 20-watt incandescent bulb with similar output. Ten LED fixtures use about the same power as a single 60-watt incandescent bulb.

Here are a few more questions we hear from homeowners about irrigation systems, seasonal maintenance, and keeping their lawn healthy year-round.
Watch for dry patches, overwatered spots, or a reliance on manual watering. Any of these often points to an aging or missing system. Evergreen Contracting & Irrigation can assess your property and recommend the right solution. We build systems around your landscape’s real needs.
Plan for a professional inspection at least twice a year. We suggest a spring start-up and a fall winterization. Regular service keeps your system efficient, prevents leaks, and protects your investment through the off-season. Ask us about a maintenance schedule.
Winterization blows compressed air through your lines to clear out all water before freezing weather. Skipping it can crack pipes and fittings, which leads to costly spring repairs. Evergreen provides seasonal winterization across Central PA. It is one of the most important services you can book.
Yes. Smart controllers connect to local weather data and soil sensors to adjust watering on their own. That saves water and lowers your utility bills. Our team can upgrade most existing systems with smart technology, no full reinstall needed. Ask us about your options.
