And we’re back! Chad wanted to continue his deep dive into the legendary sounds of the Eagles and the Doobie Brothers. Now, before we get too carried away, I know, I know—this has absolutely nothing to do with Tulsa sprinkler repair. So, for those of you patiently waiting for more on that, just bear with us for a moment. Because let’s be real, you cannot say “Doobie Brothers” without smiling. It’s impossible. Try it. Right now. Say it with passion. Next time you get cut off in traffic—Doobie Brothers. Next time you burn dinner—Doobie Brothers. Next time you slam your hand in the door—Doobie Brothers. And, of course, next time your sprinkler system breaks and you’ve got to call Living Water Irrigation—Doobie Brothers. See? It just works. You don’t even have to sing one of their songs; just saying the name is enough.
Alright, let’s get back on track. Here at Living Water Irrigation, we don’t just specialize in Tulsa sprinkler repair—we also handle outdoor lighting. Yep, we’re the folks who can bring your landscape to life at night, making sure your investment shines (literally).
So, let’s talk about outdoor lighting. Low-voltage landscape lighting, outdoor illumination—whatever you want to call it, there are some serious benefits. In fact, give me five of them.
- Mood enhancement. (Okay, maybe a bit of a stretch, but it does create a great ambiance.)
- Adds value to your home and curb appeal.
- Increased security. (A well-lit home is a safer home.)
- Functionality—so you’re not stumbling around in the dark.
- Keeping up with the Joneses. (Let’s be honest, your neighbor has it, and it looks amazing.)
You don’t want to be the only Doobie Brother on the block without outdoor lighting, do you? But in all seriousness, outdoor lighting adds dimension to your property. While a lot of people focus on front-yard lighting, the backyard is where the magic really happens. Think about it—people invest in specialty lighting inside their homes for artwork and fireplaces. Why wouldn’t you do the same for your backyard, water features, or architectural elements?
So many homeowners assume outdoor lighting is way out of their budget. Maybe you’ve gotten a quote before—$8,000, $10,000, even $30,000—and thought, “Nope, not happening.” But at Living Water Irrigation, we believe in making high-quality outdoor lighting affordable. We offer package deals that include six fixtures and a Bluetooth transformer, giving you incredible lighting without breaking the bank.
Take one of our recent customers, Chuck Rutherford—he’s actually featured in a testimonial on our website. We installed 32 fixtures at his home, illuminating his landscaping, pool, and outdoor spaces. While other companies quoted him $12,000 to $14,000, we were able to do it for a fraction of the cost while still delivering a high-end look.
It’s like installing a pool or an outdoor living area—everybody wants professional outdoor lighting, but it often gets pushed down the priority list. People think, “I can’t afford that.” But I always tell customers—no matter what project you’re working on in your yard, always leave room in the budget for low-voltage lighting. Your landscaping investment deserves to be showcased, and of course, if you’re investing in landscaping, you need proper irrigation too. It all ties together.
Think about it—it’s like the circle of life. And speaking of life, let’s take a moment to reflect on your favorite Doobie Brothers song. Got it? Good.
One thing that surprises homeowners is how much the price of high-quality lighting has come down over the years. Technology has advanced, and competition in the market means you no longer have to rely on those old, flimsy Malibu light sets from the hardware store. Let’s talk real quick about the difference between those and professional-grade fixtures.
First, quality. Malibu lights are usually made of cheap plastic, which means the lenses scratch easily and turn yellow from UV exposure. The light intensity fades quickly, and within a year, you’ll notice a big difference in brightness. More often than not, when one light goes out, you’ve got to replace the whole set. With professional-grade lighting, you get durable metal fixtures, high-intensity LED bulbs, and a lifetime warranty. Plus, they’re designed to be serviced, expanded, and adjusted as your landscaping changes.
Think about it—just like repainting a room or upgrading furniture, outdoor lighting can be adapted over time. If you move, you can even take your lights with you! (Just make sure to remove them before listing your home.)
And with that, we’re wrapping up this episode of the Sprinkler Repair Tulsa podcast. Thanks for tuning in! And remember—next time you think about Tulsa sprinkler repair, outdoor lighting, or just need a pick-me-up—Doobie Brothers. See you next time!
