Landscape lighting assessment services for Solano & Napa County
A comprehensive lighting assessment gives you a clear picture of your system’s current state and a practical plan for fixing, expanding, or upgrading — so you can make an informed decision without guesswork.
Transformer Load & Sizing Review
We measure the actual wattage load on your transformer and compare it to its rated capacity. Overloaded transformers cause dim lights, tripped breakers, and premature failure. Undersized transformers are the most common cause of poor lighting performance on Solano County properties.
Dark Zone Identification
We walk your property during the day and evening to identify areas that are completely unlit, under-lit, or where fixture placement creates shadows and blind spots. This includes entry paths, driveway edges, trees, planting beds, and outdoor living spaces in your Fairfield or Vacaville home.
Fixture Condition & Failure Check
Corroded sockets, broken housing, UV-degraded lenses, and water-ingressed fixtures all reduce light output and create safety hazards. We inspect every fixture in your system and document which ones need cleaning, re-aiming, bulb replacement, or full replacement.
Wire & Connection Inspection
Landscape lighting wire failures are often at the tap connectors where lateral wires pierce the main cable. We check every connection point for corrosion, pull-out, and voltage drop across long runs — a common problem on properties with 50+ foot cable runs in Napa and Vacaville.
Timer & Zone Programming Review
We review your transformer’s timer settings, check that zones are scheduled correctly for your seasonal needs, and verify that all zones activate as expected. Many homeowners find lights running at wrong times or zones that have been off-schedule for years.
Written Lighting Plan & Recommendations
You receive a straightforward summary of what’s failing, what’s undersized, and what could be added to improve your property’s nighttime appearance. No vague suggestions — specific fixture types, locations, and a realistic scope for repair or installation.
How we conduct a landscape lighting assessment in Solano County
Schedule & Site Walkthrough
We visit your property and walk every area with outdoor lighting — front yard, backyard, driveway, paths, and any planting beds or trees with fixtures. We observe coverage, note dark areas, and identify obvious fixture problems before touching any equipment.
Transformer & Electrical Check
We open the transformer, measure total load, check the timer settings and zone schedule, inspect the wire connections at the terminal block, and test the photocell or astronomical timer if present. We document the current wattage vs. rated capacity.
Fixture & Wire Survey
We check each fixture for corrosion, socket integrity, bulb type, and proper aiming. We trace cable runs, test voltage at fixture ends, and probe tap connectors for moisture and contact quality — the most common failure point in low-voltage landscape systems.
Report & Recommendations
We review our findings with you on-site and provide a written summary covering what needs repair, what can be upgraded, and optional additions that would improve your property’s outdoor lighting. All recommendations are specific and priced — no vague estimates.
Why Fairfield & Vacaville homeowners trust us for lighting assessments
We assess to give you real answers
Our lighting assessments aren’t a sales pitch for a full install. We tell you exactly what’s failing, what’s working fine, and what options you have — so you can decide what to repair, what to expand, and what to leave alone.
We understand low-voltage systems
Landscape lighting runs on 12V systems with specific voltage drop rules, wire gauge requirements, and load limits. We apply these correctly — not generic electrical advice — so any repairs or additions we recommend will actually work reliably long-term.
LED upgrade expertise
Many Solano County homes still have halogen landscape systems that consume 3–5x more energy than LED alternatives. We assess whether a direct LED retrofit is feasible for your existing transformer and fixtures — often saving homeowners on their electric bill from day one.

FAQ: Landscape lighting assessment in Solano & Napa County
Answers to the questions homeowners most often ask before scheduling a landscape lighting assessment with Eco Scapes Land Care.
A landscape lighting assessment is a professional on-site review of your existing outdoor lighting system. Eco Scapes Land Care checks fixture condition, transformer load, wire connections, zone timers, and light coverage to identify what is failing, what is undersized, and what areas of your Fairfield or Vacaville property need better illumination.
Signs of an undersized transformer include dim or flickering fixtures, lights that won’t turn on despite good bulbs, and a transformer that runs hot or trips its breaker. Eco Scapes Land Care measures actual load during an assessment and recommends replacement if your transformer is overloaded or aging.
Yes. A nighttime walk of your property is part of a complete landscape lighting assessment. Eco Scapes Land Care offers evening assessments for Fairfield and Vacaville homeowners so we can observe actual light distribution, identify dark zones, and see exactly how your fixtures perform under real conditions.

Frequent bulb failures are often caused by voltage that is too high or too low reaching the fixture. This points to incorrect wire gauge, excessive run length, or poor connections at the hub. Eco Scapes Land Care checks voltage at each fixture during an assessment to identify the root cause.
Yes. Eco Scapes Land Care assesses both legacy halogen systems and current LED systems. If you have an older halogen setup, we can also evaluate whether a direct LED retrofit would reduce your transformer load and energy costs while improving light quality across your Solano or Napa County property.
