How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?

Plan on at least seven days before driving on it, and avoid heavy loads for about 28 days while the concrete reaches full strength. Walking on it is usually fine after 24 to 48 hours.

Is some cracking normal in concrete?

Hairline cracks are common as concrete shrinks while it cures. Control joints are cut so that cracking follows a straight, planned line. Wide or growing cracks, sinking or pooling water are signs of a base or drainage problem and should be looked at.

Are you licensed, insured and bonded?

Yes. We are insured and bonded, and we can show proof of license and insurance on request, before you sign anything.

Outdoor lighting designer and installer in Memphis, TN

Good outdoor lighting does three jobs at once. It makes your home look better, it makes your outdoor space usable after dark, and it adds a layer of safety and security. Poor lighting does the opposite: harsh glare, dark corners and fixtures that look like an afterthought.

Baltz Design plans lighting together with the patio, walkways and landscape it serves, using quality fixtures and clean installations. One team and one point of contact means the lighting fits the project instead of being bolted on later. We design and install outdoor lighting for homeowners in Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, Cordova and nearby communities.

What affects outdoor lighting cost

Lighting projects vary, so we price each from a real plan.

Area covered. More yard, more walkways and more features mean more fixtures.
Fixture type and quality. Quality fixtures last longer and cost more.
Wiring and power. Distance from power and trenching needs affect labor.
Controls. Timers, dimmers and smart controls add convenience and cost.
Combined projects. Lighting is cheapest when planned with a patio or landscape project.

Reviews

★★★★★

“These guys are busy but well worth the wait! The design was excellent and the crews fulfilled our expectations completely. Kevin did a great job with the design of a new cabana and grill station addition to the pool deck. I was surprised later to find that he won first place in Residential Design with his work. These guys are highly recommended!”

“Baltz & Sons was the perfect selection for our driveway project. The owner, Kevin, goes above and beyond for customers. We appreciated how he communicated throughout the job. The creativity he brought to the table was so helpful. My husband and I weren’t entirely sure what the end result should look like and Kevin came up with ideas that were just what we needed, all the while coming up with something that was reasonably priced. Our driveway is just what we wanted!”

“We are more than pleased with the work done by Baltz and Sons Concrete. They redid our driveway and added masonry walls with integrated lights and it all looks beautiful. I can’t recommend them enough. They are wonderful!”

Light for safety first

Steps, walkways and changes in level need even, glare-free light.

Layer your lighting

Combine pathway, accent and seating light instead of relying on one bright fixture.

Choose warm, comfortable color

Warm light feels welcoming and flatters stone and landscaping.

Avoid glare

Aim and shield fixtures so light falls where you want it and not in your eyes or the neighbors’.

Plan lighting with the project

Wiring is easiest to run before concrete and landscaping go in.

Use controls

Timers and dimmers keep the lighting useful and efficient.

Choose durable fixtures

Outdoor fixtures face heat, humidity and rain.
