Built like a system

Our 10-Step Landscape Lighting Installation Process

We start with your goals—security, ambiance, focal points—and design the system to match. Then we install with long-term reliability in mind: protected wire runs, serviceable connections, and a night adjustment to dial in the final look.

  • Landscaper and homeowner walking property discussing landscape lighting plan for garden beds and planter beds

    On-Site Consultation

    We walk the property with you to understand the lighting effect you want—home highlight, path safety, trees, patios, and entertainment areas.
  • Landscapers measuring and marking landscape lighting fixture placement for garden beds and planter beds installation

    Evaluation + Measurements

    We measure key runs and identify fixture locations, access points, and areas that need special attention (beds, roots, hardscape edges).
  • Landscape lighting designer reviewing on-site lighting layout plan for planter beds and garden paths

    Lighting Design Plan

    We build a layout plan that includes fixture placement, beam spread intent, transformer location, and wire routing for a clean install.
  • Landscapers reviewing professional-grade landscape lighting fixtures and controls for garden beds at night

    Material Selection

    Choose fixture styles (spot, path, well, flood) and controls. We confirm the right quantities and light output for the desired look.
  • Landscape lighting technician planning transformer placement and load capacity for garden beds and walkways

    Transformer + Load Sizing

    We size a transformer with extra capacity so the system runs efficiently and allows future fixture expansion without redoing the power source.
  • Landscapers installing protected conduit wire runs for landscape lighting along planter and garden beds

    Wire Routing + Protection

    All primary wire runs are placed in conduit where needed to protect against shovels, roots, repairs, and future landscape work.
  • Landscapers installing landscape lighting fixtures along garden beds and planter beds for nighttime curb appeal

    Fixture Installation

    System Setup + Controls

    We configure timers/controls, test circuits, verify voltage, and confirm that each zone and fixture performs correctly.
  • Landscapers adjusting landscape lighting during final walkthrough along garden and planter beds

    After-Dark Tuning + Walkthrough

    Your designer returns after sunset to fine-tune aiming and balance. We do a final walkthrough and show you how to control the system.

What changes the price

What Affects Landscape Lighting Cost

Lighting cost is mostly driven by system size, fixture quality, and wire routing. Homes with multiple focal zones and long wire runs require more planning, materials, and circuit management.

  • Number of fixtures and the mix of spotlight/path/well/flood lights
  • Transformer size and number of zones/circuits
  • Total wire length and routing complexity around beds and hardscape
  • Need for conduit runs to protect wire in high-risk areas
  • Soil conditions and access (tight spaces vs open runs)
  • Fixture housing quality and corrosion resistance
  • Controls: basic timer vs advanced control setup
  • Tree/bed density and aiming complexity (glare control)
  • Integration with existing landscaping, irrigation, or hardscape

Designed, Installed, and Tuned for Nighttime Curb Appeal

Why Our Lighting Installs Outperform Typical Systems

We install lighting like a long-term system—protected, serviceable, and tuned.

  • Waterproof connectors to prevent corrosion and electrical failures
  • Conduit protection on wire runs to reduce accidental cuts from shovels and roots
  • Junction boxes for clean organization and future troubleshooting

  • After-dark tuning visit to perfect aiming and balance
  • White-glove approach to protect beds, turf, and hardscape during install
