Licensed Irrigation Professionals
Scape-Abilities is your full-service licensed irrigation company. We possess the distinct advantage of having lawn and plant knowledge which allows us to be your more highly capable irrigation and landscape company.
Allowing us to install, maintain or calibrate your irrigation system is a unique advantage for you. Since we know lawns and plants we understand how to design, install, and maintain sprinkler systems to reduce water waste and deliver lush lawns and healthier plants. Your landscape will look beautiful and you’ll save both water and money.
In addition to these benefits, taking over the coordination needed between lawn seeding, lawn applications, tree / shrub applications and plant water needs is a value add that very few landscape companies can offer.
Plus, when something goes wrong with your system, Scape-Abilities is there to fix the problem and make sure your sprinklers work efficiently and effectively.

Lighting Professionals
At Scape-Abilities we enjoy helping our clients achieve unique effects for their property, whether that includes renovating existing landscape lighting or designing and installing new lighting systems from the ground up.
We offer high-quality landscape lighting solutions for curb appeal, extended hours of appreciation and the safety of our customers. Techniques such as uplighting, grazing, washing and downlighting, are wonderful ways to enhance the overall feel and ambience of your landscape.
So often we have found outdoor lighting systems that are not working correctly. These systems may have multiple lights out, fixtures that are damaged or fixtures illuminating the wrong targets. For that reason we created our Outdoor Lighting Maintenance program. Proactive visits will make sure your system is functioning properly and giving you the most value.
Outdoor Lighting Maintenance Service
Priced per man hour. 3 proactive visits yearly (approximately April, July and Nov) to ensure your
landscape has the proper illumination. We will clean the light fixtures; adjust fixture direction to
illuminate correctly; treat bulb sockets and parts with anti-corrosive spray; check wiring connections
and replace burned out bulbs. The price does not include parts.
-
What:
Visits to clean, adjust and ensure the function of your low-voltage, outdoor lighting system. We adjust the light fixtures for proper illumination of the targeted plants or structure, clean the interior and exterior of the light fixtures, coat with anti corrosive silicone spray to the internal parts of the fixtures, check above grade wiring junctions, and the transformer, and bury any exposed wires.
