Each lighting plan is tailored to maximize visual depth and balanced illumination.

Our Outdoor Landscape Lighting Services

Custom Design

Every property is unique, and so are your lighting needs. Our expert designers work closely with you to create a customized lighting plan, including planning the layout before installation, that complements your landscape aesthetic, highlights your house, garden, and plants, and matches your specific preferences.Uplighting uses fixtures placed at the base of tall features, with the beam directed upward to create focused accents with spotlights instead of broader flood lights.For a softer effect, downlighting—often called moonlighting—is created by mounting lights high in trees and angling them downward for a natural look.Grazing places lights close to a textured surface to emphasize depth and shadow.Floodlights cast a wide beam across larger areas and are often paired with motion sensors for security.
