Grizzly designs, installs and repairs it for homes in Lynnwood and across Snohomish and King County. It suits anyone who wants to use the yard after dark or get to the door safely, whether the yard is new or already planted.
Every lighting job
Whether it's a few path lights or the whole property, every job follows the same four steps.
We walk the route from the car to the door and agree on what's worth lighting.
We check the power source for the transformer and any permit needs before quoting.
You get a clear price before any fixture goes in the ground.
Our crew comes back after dark to aim and adjust every fixture.
What we do
We decide what needs light first: the route to the door, every step, and the one or two trees worth showing off.
→ Route from car to door → Every change in level → Fewer fixtures, placed well
Low fixtures that wash across the ground, with light on every step so nobody trips.
→ Walkways and garden paths → Light on every tread → No glare in your eyes
Fixtures at the base of trees aimed into the canopy, shielded so the light stays out of the neighbor's windows.
→ One or two standout trees → Shielded and angled → Depth in the garden
Fixtures in deck boards, stair risers and posts aimed down, plus soft wall wash across the front of the house.
→ Stair risers and posts → See the edge, no glare → Stone, cedar and siding
Transformers sized with room to grow, cable buried properly, waterproof connections and timers that follow sunset.
→ Room for a second phase → Waterproof connectors → Astronomic timers and app control
Halogen swapped for LED, shorts and dim runs traced, and corroded connectors replaced. Most tired systems don't need a full rebuild.
→ Halogen to LED → Dim or dead runs → Corroded connectors
Is it time?
Most lighting problems show up the first dark evening in October. Here's what each one usually means.
What it means: the steps need light on every tread and every change in level.
Usually: voltage drop from a long run or too many fixtures on one line.
Usually: a failed or corroded connector, which is where most systems fail.
What it means: fixtures need aiming and shielding so the source stays out of sight.
What it means: an astronomic timer would follow sunset through the year.
What it means: a swap to LED, usually without rebuilding the whole system.
Our approach
A yard looks good after dark because of contrast: a lit path, one standout tree and fixtures you can't see. Lighting everything evenly kills the effect.
1. Put fixtures all over the yard for coverage 2. Point lights wherever they fit 3. Fill the transformer on day one 4. Set them and never check them at night
Result: a flat, glaring yard with no room to add more later.
1. Walk the route people actually take from the car to the door 2. Put light on every step and every change in level 3. Aim and shield fixtures so the source stays out of the sight lines 4. Leave capacity on the transformer for a second phase later
Result: a yard that looks finished at night, with room to grow.
Why Grizzly
01
Fewer fixtures placed well, so you see the path and the tree, not the bulb.
02
Fixtures are shielded and angled so light stays out of the neighbor's windows.
03
Cable buried properly and waterproof connections, since most failures start at a connector.
04
Transformers sized with room for a second phase later.
05
Nothing subcontracted. The people who plan it are the people who build it.
06
We aim and adjust every fixture at night, which decides how it all looks.
How it works

Call or send the form. A few daytime and nighttime photos help.
02
We walk the property, agree on what's worth lighting and check the power source.
03
You approve the price, and our own crew installs the fixtures and wiring.
04
We come back after dark to aim and adjust everything.

"Danny worked on our broken irrigation pipe and a underground connector. He was efficient, on time, and got the job done cleanly. I would hire him again."

"… Weeks after installation, I had an issue with one garden area getting oversaturated along with water build up so I called Danny and he came right over that same day and found that there was a faulty valve and he took care of it right away. Grizzly is competitively priced and Danny is very knowledgeable. …"

"… He did a great job and was very thoughtful to not tear up the yard, and cleaned up the sidewalk as well. It turned out very nice! I appreciated the time he spent with me answering questions about my sprinkler system and other landscaping related questions I had. …"

Questions
It depends. A new outdoor circuit for the transformer is electrical work, and rules vary by city. We check permit needs before we quote.
That's voltage drop. Long runs or too many fixtures on one line leave the far end short. The fix is heavier cable, splitting the run or a higher transformer tap.
Yes. Cable can be trenched shallow along bed edges with little disturbance. It's cheaper to sleeve during a build, but a finished yard is no obstacle.
An astronomic timer follows sunset through the year, so the lights match the real evening.
If you can, yes. Cable is easiest to run before paving and planting go in, and a sleeve under a new walkway takes minutes.
Yes. Grizzly Landscape & Construction LLC is registered with Washington L&I as contractor GRIZZLC755LL, and is bonded and insured. You can look the number up on L&I's Verify a Contractor tool.
Usually not. We swap halogen for LED, trace shorts and dim runs, and replace corroded connectors. Most tired systems don't need a full rebuild.
Yes. Our landscape lighting work carries an 18-month warranty: if something we installed fails in that time, we come back and fix it.
