Landscape lighting: the garden, the trees, the walk to the door

Landscape lighting lights the ground around the house: path lights along the walk, light up into a tree's canopy or down through it, and a wash on a stone wall. We use warm-white brass fixtures on low-voltage power, design them together with your roofline, and do the final aiming after dark. Landscape lighting is priced per fixture.

Also called: path lights, pathway lighting, driveway lighting, tree lighting, uplighting, downlighting, moonlighting, garden lighting.

What we light

  • Paths and drives: low path lights where people walk
  • Trees: uplights into the canopy, or moonlighting from high in the tree pointing down
  • Walls and stone: a soft wash that shows the texture
  • Steps and edges: light where a trip could happen

Warm, brass and aimed at night

Brass fixtures weather well and look better with age. Warm white around 2700 K makes plants and stone look natural. The last step happens after dark, when we walk the yard and aim every fixture by eye.

Low-voltage, planned properly

The fixtures run on low-voltage power supplies that plug into an outdoor GFCI outlet. If you need a new outlet, a licensed electrician installs it, and it's itemized on your quote.

In Nichols Hills

The Nichols Hills lighting code requires outdoor light to be aimed down, so we design with path lights and moonlighting rather than uplights there.

Questions

Landscape lighting: questions

How is landscape lighting priced?

Per fixture installed, with the power supply, wire and night aiming included. Your quote lists each fixture.

What is moonlighting?

Fixtures mounted high in a tree, pointing down through the branches, so the ground below looks lit by the moon.

Can landscape lights run on the same app as my roofline?

They run on a schedule with the roofline. Whether they share the same app depends on the fixtures, and we'll tell you before you buy.
