Landscape Lighting Repair in Tigard, OR
Tigard's terrain shows up in its repair work. On Bull Mountain and the other sloped neighborhoods, winter runoff washes soil off shallow cable runs, undermines path fixtures, and pools water at the bottom of the grade where a connection is usually waiting. In the flatter, established neighborhoods the failures look more like age: corroded connectors, cracked lenses and transformers that have been asked to carry more and more fixtures.
Step lights are a particular weak point. They're often the most important fixtures on a sloped Tigard lot and the hardest to reach, so when one fails it tends to stay failed. We test the whole circuit, fix the cause rather than the symptom, and make sure the stairs are lit before we leave.
Local Know-How
What Matters in Tigard
Runoff on sloped lots
On Bull Mountain, water moves soil downhill every winter. We re-bury exposed cable deeper, reset fixtures that have tipped, and move connections out of the low points where water collects.
Failed step lights
Recessed step lights fail more often than path fixtures and matter more when they do. We diagnose the fixture and its supply together, since the fault is frequently in the wiring behind the wall.
Age in established neighborhoods
In Summerfield and Metzger, systems are often old enough that the question is which parts are worth keeping. We'll show you what's sound and what isn't.
Reviews
What Homeowners Say
“Other quotes were a fixture count on paper. These guys walked the yard, explained what each light was doing and why, and the plan matched what we got.”
Landscape & Garden Lighting
Mark R.
Lake Oswego
“Our 1912 Craftsman vanished after dark. They lit the columns and the gable and left everything between them dark. The contrast is the whole thing.”
Architectural & Facade Lighting
Jennifer L.
Irvington, Portland
“Steep lot, and the walk down was dangerous in the wet. Staggered path lights plus lights in the step risers — fewer fixtures than we were quoted elsewhere, better result.”
Path & Walkway Lighting
David S.
West Linn
“Half our system had been dark for two years. They found it in twenty minutes — corroded connectors — and told me the transformer was fine. Could have sold me a new one.”

Lighting Repair & Maintenance
How It Works
From Consultation to Installed
Free Design Consultation
We walk your property with you, talk through what you want the space to feel like after dark, and note the trees, architecture, and pathways worth lighting — no pressure, no obligation.
Your Lighting Plan
We put the design on paper fixture by fixture — what gets lit, from where, with which beam spread — and price it as a fixed proposal. Nothing is ordered and no deposit is taken until you've approved it.
Clean, Low-Voltage Install
Our crews hand-dig and tuck 12-volt cable below grade, set transformers discreetly, and mount solid brass and copper fixtures — with your lawn and beds left the way we found them.
Night Aiming & Ongoing Care
We return after dark to aim every fixture by eye, set your timer or app schedule, and walk the finished system with you — then keep it dialed in with optional annual maintenance.
Questions
Lighting Repair in Tigard: FAQ
Why do my path lights keep tipping over on a slope?
On sloped Tigard lots, winter runoff washes soil away from fixture stakes and exposes the cable. We reset fixtures on firmer footings, re-bury the cable at a depth that holds, and redirect it away from the line water takes down the hill.
Can you service a system another company installed?
Yes — that's a large part of what we do. We'll assess whatever's there regardless of who put it in, tell you what's failing and why, and give you options. No obligation to have us rebuild anything.
Why did part of my system go dark?
Most often a failed connector, a lamp at end of life, or voltage drop on an overlong run. Less often a failed transformer or water in a fixture. A section going dark together usually points to one connection upstream, which is exactly the sort of thing a meter finds in minutes and guesswork doesn't.
My lights look dim at the far end of the run. Why?
Voltage drop — the far fixtures aren't receiving enough voltage because the cable is too long, too thin, or too heavily loaded for a single run. Fixes range from re-tapping to a higher transformer voltage terminal, to splitting the run, to re-cabling that leg. We'll measure the actual voltage at the fixture and size the fix to it.
How often should outdoor lighting be maintained?
An annual visit suits most Portland-area systems. Plants grow fast here, moss and debris cloud lenses, and fixtures drift out of aim over a season. Yearly service to re-aim, clean, check connections, and adjust the timer keeps a system looking like it did the week it was installed.
