Outdoor Lighting Design & Installation in Houston
Custom outdoor lighting systems designed around your property, your needs, and the way you want your home or business to look after dark. We design it. We install it. We maintain it.
Our advantages
The Approach
Custom Outdoor Lighting Designed Around Your Property
Good outdoor lighting shouldn’t look like someone simply placed fixtures around the yard. It should look like it belongs there.
We look at your home’s architecture, landscaping, trees, walkways, outdoor living spaces, entry points, and the areas you use after dark. From there, we create a lighting plan that brings those features together.
The goal isn’t to make your property brighter everywhere. The goal is to put the right light in the right place — softly lighting a walkway, highlighting the texture of a large oak, bringing attention to the architecture of your home, or creating a comfortable atmosphere around a patio where your family spends time at night.
Residential
Your home doesn’t stop being beautiful when the sun goes down
Professional residential outdoor lighting brings the architecture, landscaping, trees, patios, pools, gardens and walkways of your property to life after dark. We design and install complete systems for homes throughout the Greater Houston area.
Landscape Lighting Design
Landscape Lighting Installation
Low-voltage systems with professional wiring, transformers, controls and solid brass fixtures.
Architectural & Accent Lighting
Columns, brickwork, stone, rooflines, entrances and the details that give a property character.
Tree Lighting & Moonlighting
Uplighting, downlighting and moonlighting that showcase mature trees with soft, natural light.
Patio & Outdoor Living Lighting
Patios, outdoor kitchens, seating areas and decks made comfortable and usable after sunset.
Pool & Water Feature Lighting
Depth and atmosphere around pools, fountains and ponds — and easier footing nearby.
Pathway, Driveway & Entry Lighting
Useful illumination along walkways, driveways, steps, gates and entrances — kept in balance.
Smart & Color-Changing Lighting
Timers, photocells, remote control, smart systems and customizable color-changing options.
Commercial
The outside of your business is part of the impression
We design and install commercial outdoor lighting for businesses and commercial properties throughout Houston.
- Building facades, signs and entries
- Walkways, courtyards and outdoor gathering spaces
- Landscaped areas, water features and campuses
A properly designed system makes a property more welcoming, improves visibility around important areas and highlights architectural features after dark. Every system is designed around the property rather than a one-size-fits-all layout.
Maintenance & Repair
A lighting system is not a one-time purchase
We restore older systems, correct problems with an existing installation, and provide regular service to keep a system performing properly.
Need Something Fixed?
Outdoor lighting repair when a system has stopped working correctly.
Keep It Looking Its Best
Scheduled landscape lighting maintenance, adjustment and cleaning.
Still Using Halogen?
We evaluate older systems and recommend LED upgrades where they make sense.

Our Process
A professional lighting system begins long before the first fixture goes into the ground
1
Consultation
We start by learning what you want to accomplish. Highlight the architecture? Make an outdoor living area more inviting? Illuminate large trees? Those goals guide the design.
2
Property Evaluation
We look at the architecture, landscaping, trees, pathways, patios, entrances, outdoor features and any existing lighting.
3
Lighting Design
We determine where fixtures belong, what each light should accomplish, and how the areas of the property work together after dark.
4
Professional Installation
Our team installs fixtures, transformer, wiring, controls and every component the system needs — with minimal disruption to your lawn.
5
Nighttime Review
After installation the lighting is reviewed after dark, so final adjustments achieve the intended effect.
6
Maintenance & Support
As your property changes, we maintain, repair, reposition and upgrade the system.
Selected Work
Outdoor lighting is a visual service
The best way to understand what a professionally designed system can do is to see completed projects.

Questions
Outdoor lighting questions
How do you design outdoor lighting for a home?
We start with the property itself — architecture, landscaping, trees, pathways, entrances, patios and pools. We also talk with you about how you use the property and what you want the lighting to accomplish. From there we create a custom lighting plan. Landscape Lighting Design
What type of outdoor lighting fixtures do you use?
High-quality solid brass fixtures and low-voltage LED lighting. Fixture selection depends on the location, the lighting effect and the needs of the property. Landscape Lighting Installation
Can you repair an outdoor lighting system installed by someone else?
Yes. The first step is evaluating the system to determine what is working, what needs attention, and whether repair, replacement or upgrading makes the most sense. Outdoor Lighting Repair
Can older landscape lighting be converted to LED?
Many older halogen systems can be upgraded. We inspect the existing fixtures, transformer and wiring, then recommend the best approach. LED Upgrades & Retrofitting
