What Our Landscape Lighting Includes
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
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.
- Solid brass and copper fixtures with lifetime corrosion resistance
- Energy-efficient LED lamps with warm color temperatures
- Low-voltage systems for safety and reduced energy costs
- Smart timers with astronomical clock and photocell activation
- WiFi-enabled controls for remote management and scene creation
- Expandable systems designed to grow with your landscape

Landscape Lighting in Dripping Springs — FAQs
Yes. Many of our Dripping Springs projects involve multi-acre properties. We design and install landscape improvements that focus on key living areas while integrating naturally with the surrounding Hill Country terrain.
Absolutely. We create outdoor environments with native stone, drought-adapted Mediterranean plantings, and rustic-refined hardscaping that reflects the Hill Country wine country character Dripping Springs is known for.
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.
