If you’re comparing landscape lighting quotes in The Woodlands, the biggest hidden difference is fixture material. It’s the number-one factor in how long your system lasts — and why two quotes can look so far apart.
Aluminum & plastic: cheaper today, costly later
Most budget systems use cast-aluminum or plastic fixtures. In the Houston-area heat, humidity, and constant sprinkler spray, they corrode, oxidize, fade, and crack — often within three to five years. Then you’re paying to replace the same system you already bought.
Solid brass: install once
Solid-brass fixtures don’t rust. They develop a natural patina and keep performing for 20+ years in exactly the conditions that destroy aluminum. Brass costs more up front, but it’s almost always cheaper over the life of the system because you buy it once.
The bottom line for Woodlands homeowners
- Choose aluminum only for a short-term or rental fix.
- Choose brass if this is your home and you want it to look great for decades.
We install solid-brass fixtures with energy-efficient LED lamps on every system. It’s the honest long-term value.
