Architectural & Garden Lighting
Lighting Is the Detail That Separates a Good Landscape From an Extraordinary One
Most homeowners think about landscape lighting as a security feature or an afterthought. The best landscape designers treat it as an integral part of the overall design, planned from the beginning and executed with the same precision as every other element. When lighting is done well, it transforms a property after dark into something genuinely breathtaking. When it is done poorly, it creates glare, uneven illumination, and the kind of harsh, institutional look that no amount of beautiful planting can overcome.
Our lighting designs begin with an evening walkthrough of your property. We observe how existing light sources interact with the landscape, identify the architectural features and specimen plants worth highlighting, and plan a fixture placement strategy that creates depth, drama, and warmth rather than simply flooding the yard with light. We work exclusively with commercial-grade, low-voltage brass and copper fixtures that are built to withstand South Florida's humidity, salt air, and UV exposure, and we back every installation with a comprehensive service warranty.
Our Landscape Lighting Includes
Architectural & Facade Lighting
Carefully positioned uplights and wall-wash fixtures highlight the lines, texture, and character of your home's exterior, creating a dramatic presence after dark that complements the architecture rather than competing with it.
Garden, Tree & Path Lighting
Moonlighting through tree canopies, spotlights on specimen palms, and low-profile path lights along walkways create a layered, natural-feeling illumination that guides movement and draws attention to the landscape's best features.
Smart Controls & Timer Systems
We install programmable smart controllers that automate your lighting schedule, adjust for seasonal daylight changes, and allow you to control zones individually from your phone, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.
Frequently Asked Questions for Landscape Lighting
What is the difference between low-voltage and line-voltage landscape lighting?
Low-voltage systems operate at 12 volts rather than the standard 120 volts, which makes them significantly safer to install, more energy-efficient, and easier to adjust or expand over time. The vast majority of residential landscape lighting installations use low-voltage systems, and they are what we recommend and install for all of our clients.
How much does landscape lighting typically cost in Palm Beach County?
Costs vary based on the size of the property, the number of fixtures, and the complexity of the design. A modest accent lighting installation for a typical residential property might start around $1,500, while a comprehensive lighting design for a larger estate can range considerably higher. We provide detailed written estimates after an on-site consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
Will landscape lighting significantly increase my electric bill?
No. Modern LED low-voltage landscape lighting is extremely energy-efficient. A typical residential system with 20 to 30 fixtures uses less electricity than a single 100-watt incandescent bulb running continuously. Most homeowners see only a minimal increase in their monthly utility bill.
How long do the fixtures last in South Florida's climate?
We use commercial-grade brass and copper fixtures specifically designed for coastal and high-humidity environments. These fixtures typically last 15 to 20 years with minimal maintenance. We avoid the inexpensive composite fixtures that are common in big-box stores, which often fail within two to three years in South Florida conditions.
Can you add lighting to an existing landscape, or does it need to be planned during installation?
Lighting can absolutely be added to an existing landscape. In fact, many of our lighting clients have mature, established landscapes that benefit enormously from thoughtful illumination. We design around what is already there and work with minimal disruption to the existing planting.
