Irrigation and low-voltage landscape lighting for Charleston and the Lowcountry — designed, installed and serviced by the same person who gives you the estimate.
Owner-operated by Matt Dawson · Charleston, SC
What we do
Most yards need water and light — and most problems with both come down to a system that was designed in a hurry. We take the time up front so you are not chasing repairs later.
Charleston summers are brutal on turf, and sandy soil drains fast. We build systems that put water where the plants actually need it — and move it away from the house when the tide and the rain arrive together.
Good lighting is mostly restraint: light the live oak, the porch columns and the path, and leave the rest dark. Done right, the house looks better at 9pm than it does at noon — and nobody trips on the way in.
Why homeowners call us
Sandy soil, high water tables, well and city water, salt air on the islands, and the summer afternoon storm that undoes your schedule. We design around all of it instead of pretending it isn't there.
Matt quotes the job, runs the job and answers the phone afterwards. No dispatcher, no rotating crew that has never seen your yard, no surprise on the invoice.
Wire buried at depth, waterproof connections, heads set flush so the mower clears them, trenches closed and the sod put back. You should not be able to tell we were there — except that everything works.
You get a written estimate that lists zones, fixtures and what is actually included. If we find something unexpected mid-job, you hear about it before we do the work, not after.
How it works
We meet at the house, look at water source, pressure, grade, planting beds and the features worth lighting.
You get a zone-by-zone or fixture-by-fixture plan with a written price. No pressure and no charge.
Most homes are a one- or two-day job. Utilities located first, trenches closed the same day.
Lighting gets aimed after dark, with you there. Irrigation gets a run-through zone by zone in daylight.
Seasonal checks, adjustments as the landscape grows in, and a real person to call when something breaks.
Our work
Warm, even light with the fixtures hidden, and turf that stays green through August without a wet spot by the driveway.
Service area
