Fred (and Charlie) are the best! My small patio garden looks so beautiful in the evening when it's all lit up. The lamps and equipment are of high high quality as well. Fred has innovative ideas on where to place the lamps so that the lighting is directed towards the perfect areas, i.e., trees, vines and shrubs. I highly recommend this local business.
