Landscape Lighting
Extend your outdoor enjoyment into the evening with professional landscape lighting that adds beauty and security.
Transform Your Landscape After Dark
Your landscape doesn't disappear when the sun goes down, or at least it shouldn't. Good lighting lets you enjoy your outdoor space at night, adds security by illuminating dark areas, and makes your home more welcoming. Done right, landscape lighting highlights your property's best features while staying subtle enough not to feel like a parking lot.
We design lighting systems that balance function and aesthetics. You need to see walkways and steps for safety. You want to showcase special plants or architectural features. You might want to create atmosphere for evening entertaining. Your Buena Park landscape lighting can accomplish all of this without looking overdone.
Strategic Lighting Design for Maximum Impact
Effective landscape lighting uses different techniques to create depth and drama. We don't flood everything with light. Instead, we layer different lighting types to guide the eye and create visual interest. Here's what we typically incorporate:
- Path lights that mark walkways and steps without glaring in your eyes
- Uplighting to showcase trees, architectural details, and focal points
- Downlighting from trees or structures to create moonlight effects
- Accent lights that highlight special plants or garden features
- Well lights that wash walls with indirect illumination
- Deck and patio lighting integrated into outdoor living areas
Where you place lights matters as much as what lights you use. We position fixtures to avoid glare while maximizing effect. Trees get lit from below to emphasize their structure. Walls receive grazing light that brings out texture. Paths get just enough illumination for safe navigation.
Energy-Efficient LED Systems
Modern landscape lighting uses LED technology that lasts years and uses a fraction of the energy old halogen systems required. Your lights can run all night without sending your electric bill through the roof. LEDs also produce less heat, which means safer installation around plants and structures.
We install low-voltage systems that are safe, efficient, and easy to expand later. The transformer stays in your garage or a hidden location, and wiring runs underground to fixtures throughout your landscape. Everything connects to a timer or smart controller so lights turn on automatically at dusk.
Lighting works best when planned with your overall landscape design. If you're installing hardscaping, we can run wiring before pavers go down. If your landscape is already complete, we add lighting with minimal disruption. Either way, you get a system that enhances your property value and usability.
