Two Beautiful Options

Two ways to light your landscape

Every yard is different, so we install two complete systems, classic warm-white lighting for timeless elegance, and smart color-changing lighting when you want color, scenes and total control. Many homeowners combine both.

What We Light

Ways to light your landscape

A great lighting plan layers a few techniques together, here are the ways we bring a yard and patio to life, in warm white or color.

Uplighting

Wash trees, columns and facades from below to add drama, depth and height after dark.

Path & Step Lights

Light walkways, steps and drives for safety and a warm, welcoming approach to your door.

Patio & Bistro

Warm overhead string lights and patio fixtures that turn a porch or pergola into an outdoor room.

Hardscape & Wall

Low-profile lights tucked into seat-walls, steps and stone for a soft, modern glow.

Garden & Feature

Spotlight sculptures, water features and the plants and beds you’re proudest of.

Downlighting & Moonlight

Soft light cast down from eaves or high in the trees for a natural, moonlit effect.
