Outdoor & Landscape Lighting
Enhance safety, security, and beauty with professionally designed landscape lighting systems.
Transform Your Property After Dark
Good lighting changes how you experience your outdoor spaces. It extends your usable hours beyond sunset, making patios and pathways safe and inviting after dark. Proper lighting also improves security by eliminating dark corners where intruders could hide. Your landscape investments in plants, hardscaping, and architecture deserve to be seen and appreciated at night, not hidden in darkness. Strategic lighting brings these features to life and adds dramatic visual interest to your property.
Landscape lighting also increases your home value and curb appeal. A well-lit property stands out in the neighborhood and creates a welcoming impression for guests. The right lighting makes your home look larger and more inviting. It highlights architectural details that might go unnoticed during the day. In Citrus Heights, where we enjoy mild evenings much of the year, outdoor lighting helps you make the most of your property year-round.

Custom Lighting Design for Your Unique Property
Every property has different lighting needs based on layout, features, and how you use your outdoor spaces. We start with a thorough assessment of your property to identify key areas that need illumination. This includes pathways for safety, trees and plants for visual interest, and architectural elements that deserve highlighting. We consider your priorities, whether that is security, entertaining, or showcasing your landscape. This planning ensures your lighting system serves practical needs while creating beautiful effects.
Our designs use different lighting techniques to achieve specific effects. Path lights guide movement along walkways and prevent trips on steps. Uplighting showcases trees and architectural features from below for dramatic impact. Downlighting from trees or structures creates moonlight effects and illuminates larger areas. Accent lights highlight focal points like statuary, water features, or special plantings. We combine these techniques strategically to create layers of light that look natural and inviting.
Energy-Efficient LED Technology
We install LED lighting systems that use a fraction of the energy compared to older technologies. LED fixtures last for years without bulb replacements and produce consistent, high-quality light. They also generate less heat, making them safer around plants and structures. Low-voltage LED systems are safe to install and maintain, reducing risks compared to traditional line-voltage lighting. The energy savings add up quickly, making professional lighting affordable to operate long-term.
Our installations include professional-grade fixtures built to withstand weather and time. We use corrosion-resistant materials and proper waterproofing for California conditions. All wiring is buried properly to protect it and maintain clean sight lines. We also integrate with your existing landscape design to ensure fixtures complement rather than distract from your outdoor spaces.
Convenient Control and Automation Options
Modern lighting systems offer convenient control options that make managing your lights effortless. Timers automatically turn lights on at dusk and off at dawn, so you never have to think about it. Photocells adjust automatically based on natural light levels, ensuring lights come on when needed regardless of season. Smart controllers let you adjust schedules, create different lighting scenes, and control everything from your phone. These features give you complete control while making daily operation automatic.
Automation also helps with energy efficiency and fixture lifespan. Running lights only when needed reduces electricity costs and extends LED life. You can create different programs for when you are home versus away, or for entertaining versus normal evenings. Zone control lets you operate different areas independently, so you are not lighting spaces you are not using. These options make your lighting system more practical and cost-effective over time.
Maintenance and System Adjustments
Landscape lighting needs occasional maintenance to keep performing well. We offer service plans that include fixture cleaning, adjustment of aim and positioning, and checking all connections. As your landscape grows and changes, lighting may need repositioning to maintain the desired effects. Trees that were small at installation may need different lighting angles as they mature. We adjust your system over time to ensure it continues working perfectly with your evolving landscape.
LED technology means you will not be replacing bulbs constantly like with old systems. When fixtures eventually need replacement, we use compatible upgrades that integrate seamlessly with your existing system. Professional maintenance keeps everything looking great and working reliably for years.
