Landscape Lighting

Why Add Landscape Lighting

Landscape lighting does more than just make your yard visible at night. Strategic lighting adds depth and dimension to your landscape, creates focal points that draw the eye, and makes your property feel larger and more welcoming. It also provides practical benefits that improve how you use and enjoy your outdoor space.

Here's what landscape lighting adds to your property:

• •Enhanced curb appeal and nighttime beauty
• •Safe walkways, steps, and transitions between yard areas
• •Extended use of patios, decks, and outdoor living spaces
• •Improved security by eliminating dark areas around your home
• •Highlighting of trees, architectural features, and water features
• •Increased property value with professional outdoor lighting

Our Lighting Design Approach

Good landscape lighting isn't about flooding your yard with bright light. It's about creating layers of light that highlight specific features while leaving other areas in softer shadow. This approach creates depth, drama, and visual interest. We use different lighting techniques based on what we're illuminating and what effect you want.

Uplighting placed at the base of trees creates dramatic shadows and highlights trunk texture. Path lights keep walkways safe without being too bright or distracting. Downlighting from trees mimics moonlight and provides gentle ambient light for gathering areas. Accent lights showcase special plants, sculptures, or architectural details. We combine these techniques to create a cohesive lighting plan that enhances your landscape without overwhelming it.

Energy-Efficient LED Systems

We install LED landscape lighting systems because they offer the best combination of quality, efficiency, and longevity. LED fixtures use a fraction of the electricity that older halogen systems consume, and they last 10 to 15 years before needing replacement. Lower energy use means lower monthly costs and less environmental impact. Many homeowners are surprised to find that running landscape lighting all night costs just a few dollars per month with LED technology.

We use low-voltage systems for safety and flexibility. Low-voltage lighting is safer around water features and in high-traffic areas. It's also easier to expand or modify if you change your landscape later. Our lighting systems work beautifully alongside patios and hardscape features and complement complete landscape designs. We can coordinate lighting installation with new landscape projects or add lighting to your existing landscape.
