Why Choose Landscape Lighting
Lighting Design That Elevates Your Landscape
Great landscape lighting is about more than visibility — it is about creating atmosphere, highlighting your property's best features, and extending your outdoor living hours. Our designers use a layered approach combining ambient, task, and accent lighting to create depth and drama. We light architectural features, specimen trees, water elements, walkways, and outdoor living areas with careful attention to fixture placement, beam angles, and color temperature so the effect feels natural and inviting rather than harsh or overdone.
- Architectural uplighting and wall washing for home facades
- Path and step lighting for safe navigation
- Moonlighting from tree canopies for soft, natural-looking illumination
- Accent lighting for specimen plants, sculptures, and water features
- Outdoor living area lighting for kitchens, pergolas, and seating areas
- Security and perimeter lighting with optional smart controls

Commercial-Grade Fixtures and Smart Controls
We install commercial-grade brass and copper LED fixtures that resist corrosion, withstand extreme heat, and deliver consistent light output for years. All systems run on low-voltage transformers for energy efficiency and safety. Smart timers and optional WiFi controls let you manage your lighting from your phone — adjusting schedules, dimming zones, and creating scenes for different occasions. We design every system with expansion capacity so you can add fixtures as your landscape grows.

- Energy-efficient LED lamps with warm color temperatures
- Low-voltage systems for safety and reduced energy costs

Our Landscape Lighting Process
Evening Consultation
We visit your property after dark to evaluate existing lighting conditions, identify key features to highlight, and discuss the mood and functionality you want to achieve.
Lighting Design & Layout
Our designer creates a fixture placement plan specifying locations, fixture types, beam angles, and wattage for each light. We use the plan to calculate transformer sizing and wire runs.
Fixture & Material Selection
We present fixture options that match your aesthetic and budget. All recommended fixtures are commercial-grade with manufacturer warranties and proven performance in our climate.
Installation
Our crew installs transformers, runs low-voltage wiring, places and aims fixtures, and connects everything to the control system. Wiring is buried and concealed for a clean appearance.
Nighttime Aiming & Adjustment
After installation, we return at night to make final adjustments — fine-tuning beam angles, adjusting brightness levels, and ensuring even coverage across all zones.
Smart Control Setup & Training
We program your timer or smart controller, set up any app-based controls on your phone, and walk you through how to manage scenes, schedules, and dimming for different occasions.

Landscape Lighting — Frequently Asked Questions
Landscape lighting costs vary based on the number of fixtures, fixture quality, property size, and complexity of the design. Most residential projects range from targeted accent packages for focal areas to comprehensive whole-property systems. We provide a detailed proposal after the evening consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
Modern LED landscape fixtures produce excellent light output — in many cases surpassing older halogen systems while using a fraction of the energy. LED technology has advanced significantly, and the warm color temperatures we specify create a natural, inviting glow rather than a harsh or clinical look.
Very little. Low-voltage LED systems are extremely energy efficient. A typical 15-to-20-fixture system running 6 hours per night costs roughly the same as running a single standard light bulb. The energy savings compared to older halogen systems are substantial.
Absolutely. Retrofit lighting installations are one of our most common projects. We install fixtures and bury wiring with minimal disruption to your existing beds, lawns, and hardscape. Most installations are completed in 1 to 2 days.
Quality LED lamps typically last 40,000 to 50,000 hours — roughly 15 to 20 years at typical usage rates. The solid brass and copper fixtures we install last even longer, often outliving multiple lamp replacements. This durability is a significant advantage over plastic fixtures that degrade in Central Texas UV conditions.
Yes. We offer WiFi-enabled control systems that let you turn zones on and off, adjust brightness, set schedules, and create scenes for different occasions — all from your smartphone. You can also set astronomical timers that automatically adjust on/off times based on sunset and sunrise throughout the year.
