Landscape & Security Lighting

Outdoor lighting serves two purposes. It makes your property look good at night, and it makes your home safer. Well-placed landscape lighting highlights trees, shrubs, and garden features. Path lights guide visitors to your front door. Security lights deter people who should not be on your property. All of these make your home more enjoyable and secure.

We install low-voltage landscape lighting. Low-voltage systems run on 12 volts instead of the 120 volts used in standard household wiring. They are safer to work with and more energy-efficient. The lights are powered by a transformer that plugs into a standard outlet and steps down the voltage. The wiring is buried underground so it is hidden from view.

There are many types of landscape lights to choose from. Path lights line walkways and driveways. Spotlights highlight trees and architectural features. Well lights are installed in the ground and shine upward. Deck lights are mounted on deck posts or rails. Step lights are installed in stair risers for safety. We can help you choose the right types and placement for your property.

Security lighting is another important part of outdoor lighting. Motion-sensor lights turn on automatically when someone approaches. They are great for entryways, driveways, garages, and dark corners around your home. They make your home less attractive to intruders and provide light when you come home after dark.

We install both low-voltage and standard-voltage outdoor lights. Every outdoor fixture we install is rated for outdoor use and properly weather-sealed. We make sure all connections are protected from moisture. We bury wiring at the proper depth. We test every light to make sure it works before we leave.

If you want to improve the lighting around your home, give us a call. We will walk around your property with you, talk about what you want, and give you a written estimate.

The cost of landscape lighting varies depending on the number of lights, the type of fixtures, and the complexity of the installation. A basic system with a few path lights and spotlights can be quite affordable. A larger system with many lights, multiple zones, and smart controls costs more. We give you a written estimate that breaks down the costs so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Smart controls are becoming popular for outdoor lighting. You can control your landscape lights from your phone, set them on a timer, or program them to turn on at sunset and off at sunrise. Some systems even have color-changing lights that you can adjust for holidays and special events. We can install smart controls for your outdoor lighting and show you how to use them.

Outdoor lighting is a worthwhile investment for any home. It improves curb appeal, makes your home safer, and extends the time you can spend outside in the evening. If you have been thinking about adding outdoor lighting, give us a call. We will help you design a system that fits your property and your budget.

Outdoor lighting can also be a good DIY project for homeowners who are handy and comfortable working with low-voltage systems. Low-voltage landscape lighting kits are available at home improvement stores and are relatively easy to install. However, if you want a professional-looking system with proper placement, wiring, and controls, it is worth hiring an electrician. We can design and install a system that looks great and works reliably for years. We also offer maintenance and repair services for existing landscape lighting systems.

If you want to get started with outdoor lighting, call us for a consultation. We will visit your property, listen to your ideas, and make recommendations. We will give you a written estimate so you can see exactly what the project will cost. There is no obligation to proceed. We are happy to help you explore your options and find a solution that works for your home and your budget.
