What We Do

Lighting planned from the start, not added at the end

Outdoor lighting works best when it is part of the original design — not retrofitted after the project is done. We plan lighting alongside hardscape, planting, and structures so conduit is routed cleanly, fixtures are placed intentionally, and the finished space looks considered at every hour of the day.

Every lighting plan starts with understanding how you use your yard after dark, what you want to highlight, and what should stay in the background. View all of our landscape design and build services to see the full range of what we offer.

Path & walkway lighting

Low-profile fixtures that define movement through the yard and keep stepping stones and pathways safe to navigate after dark without flooding the space with light.

Uplighting & accent lighting

Directional fixtures placed at the base of trees, architectural plants, or structural features to highlight them from below — adding depth and drama without harsh glare.

String & bistro lighting

Overhead string lighting strung between posts, pergolas, or shade structures to create a warm, inviting atmosphere in outdoor dining and living areas.

Step & wall lighting

Recessed or surface-mounted fixtures integrated into retaining walls, steps, and raised planters — functional safety lighting that doubles as architectural detail.

Hardscape & patio lighting

Fixtures integrated into patios, decks, and hardscape surfaces to extend the usability of outdoor living areas well into the evening.

Low-voltage systems

All our landscape lighting uses low-voltage systems — energy-efficient, easy to adjust or expand over time, and safe to run through any planted area.

Why It Matters

Three things good outdoor lighting does

01

Extends usability

A well-lit yard is a yard you actually use in the evening — for dinner, for entertaining, for quiet time outside.

02

Highlights the design

Good lighting reveals the planting and hardscape you invested in — after dark, not just during daylight hours.

03

Adds safety

Defined pathways, lit steps, and visible transitions between surfaces make the yard safe to navigate after sunset.

How It Works

Lighting as part of our design + build process

Lighting is included in the design phase from the start, not spec’d separately after the build is finished.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is low-voltage lighting bright enough for a full backyard?

Yes. Low-voltage landscape lighting provides more than enough illumination for pathways, planting beds, seating areas, and architectural features. The goal is to enhance the space after dark, not flood it with light — and low-voltage systems are well-suited to that approach.

Can lighting be added to an existing yard without a full remodel?

It depends on the yard. Adding lighting to an existing hardscape without disturbing it is more complex and often more expensive than routing conduit during a build. We offer enhancement advising and on-site consultations to assess what’s feasible for your specific space.

Do you handle permits for outdoor lighting installation?

Yes. We handle all necessary permits and approvals as part of every project, including electrical permits where required. Taking care of this upfront is what keeps projects moving without unexpected delays.

How long does outdoor lighting installation take?

When lighting is part of a full design and build project, it is installed during the construction phase and does not add significant time to the overall timeline. Standalone lighting projects vary depending on the scope of the yard and number of fixtures.

Can the lighting system be expanded later?

Yes. Low-voltage systems are designed to be modular and expandable. We size the transformer for the current plan with room to add fixtures over time, and we route conduit with future expansion in mind where possible.
