Outdoor and Landscape Lighting
Outdoor lighting is one of the highest-impact electrical projects for the cost. The right path-and-accent layout makes a yard usable after sunset, makes the home safer to approach, and adds genuine curb appeal. We install low-voltage and line-voltage outdoor lighting with proper weather-rated boxes, conduit where required, and a control plan you can actually use day-to-day.
Low-Voltage vs. Line-Voltage
Low-voltage (12V). Path lights, accent uplights, in-grade well lights, deck and step lights. Powered from a transformer typically mounted near an exterior outlet. Lower install cost, easier to add to over time, no permit usually required for the fixtures themselves.
Line-voltage (120V). Larger flood lights, security lighting, motion-activated lights, hardwired smart fixtures, integrated landscape architecture lighting. Requires weatherproof boxes, conduit, GFCI protection, and a permit. More upfront cost; more capability.
Control Options
Photocell (dusk-to-dawn). Astronomical timer. Smart switch with schedule (Lutron Caséta, Leviton Decora Smart). Smart-home integration (Hubitat, Home Assistant, SmartThings). We design the control layer alongside the install so you don't end up with a yard full of lights and no clean way to manage them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Modern LED low-voltage systems are remarkably cheap to run. A typical 12-fixture path-light system on dusk-to-dawn control costs a few dollars a month.
Yes — we coordinate with landscape designers and homeowners on fixture style, color temperature, and layout.
