Landscape lighting transforms how your property looks and feels after dark — enhancing curb appeal, extending outdoor living hours, and improving safety along paths and driveways. We install systems that last.
Good landscape lighting does several things at once. It highlights the trees, plants, and architectural features that make your property distinctive. It makes driveways and walkways safe to navigate after dark. And it deters crime — a well-lit property is consistently a less-attractive target than a dark one.
Beyond security and safety, landscape lighting extends the usefulness of your outdoor space. A covered lanai, a patio, or a pool deck that gets too dark to enjoy by 7 PM stays usable well into the evening with the right lighting plan.
Many landscape lighting systems use low-voltage wiring (typically 12V) fed from a transformer. These systems are popular for DIY installation, but have real limitations — the transformer can fail, connections oxidize, and voltage drop limits how many fixtures you can run on a single run.
Line voltage (120V) hardwired landscape lighting is more durable, doesn't have the voltage drop limitations, and integrates cleanly with timers and smart home systems. We work with either type depending on your property layout and goals — and can evaluate existing low-voltage systems that are giving you problems.
Already have a low-voltage landscape system that's failing? Transformer failures, flickering at the end of runs, and corroded connections are all common issues with aging low-voltage systems. We can evaluate whether repair, extension, or conversion to line-voltage makes the most practical sense for your property.
In-ground path lights and driveway markers guide vehicles and foot traffic safely from the road to the entry. We place and wire them so coverage is even and fixtures are protected from contact with mowing equipment.
Uplights at the base of palms, trees, columns, and exterior walls create drama and depth in the landscape after dark. Gimbal-style fixtures let us direct the beam precisely where it needs to go.
Flood-style landscape lights at property corners and fence lines provide perimeter coverage without the harsh look of traditional security floodlights. These are tied to a photocell or timer for automatic operation at dusk.
Low-voltage systems (12V) use a transformer plugged into a standard outlet, with smaller-gauge wire running to the fixtures. They're easier to install but susceptible to voltage drop on long runs and transformer failures. Hardwired line-voltage systems (120V) are more robust, don't require a transformer, and are better suited for larger properties or complex layouts.
It depends on the installation. Low-voltage systems under a certain transformer size typically don't require permits in most Florida jurisdictions. Hardwired line-voltage work — running new circuits outdoors — does require a permit. We handle permit coordination on all permitted work.
Sometimes, depending on what's already on the circuit and what the new fixtures will draw. We'll check the existing circuit capacity during the estimate and let you know if a dedicated circuit is needed.
Most landscape lighting runs on a timer, a photocell (turns on at dusk, off at dawn), or a combination of both. We can also wire them to a smart switch or controller that integrates with your home's smart system if that's something you want.
Gimbal-style uplights can be aimed after installation, which is useful for adjusting beam direction as trees grow or as plantings around the fixture change. Fixed-position fixtures are set at installation. We'll recommend the right type for each location during the estimate.
