Landscape Lighting Design and Installation

Add a Wonderful New Dimension to Your Outdoor Spaces with Landscape Lighting

Landscape lighting adds a stunning visual appeal to outdoor spaces by highlighting key features like trees, pathways, and garden beds.  The soft glow creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for evening gatherings or quiet relaxation.

Strategically placed lights can cast enchanting shadows and draw attention to architectural details, transforming an ordinary yard into a magical nighttime retreat.

Create Useable Outdoor Spaces at Night

 Lighting the area around your home allows you to utilize spaces that would not be available after dark otherwise. You will be able to use the patio or deck or yard after the sun goes down. Outdoor barbeques can last long into the night, as long as the bugs stay away of course. Minnesota summers never seem to last as long as we would like them too. By adding lighting to your landscape, your time spent outdoors can be even longer.

Highlight Special Features of Your House and Landscaping 

As you can see in the picture examples we have all over this page, an outdoor lighting system can be utilized to focus attention on specific elements of your landscape. You can highlight the beautiful stone steps or the intricate home design. Trees and plant beds look completely different when the spotlight is put on them.

Add Curb Appeal at Night 

Curb appeal is something that many of our clients in Minneapolis and St. Paul ask us about. We solve many curb appeal concerns with plantings and landscape design on the house. However, those additions are not as effective at night. A landscape lighting system makes that curb appeal noticeable when the natural lights go out.

Safety and Security 

It’s comforting to see what's going on in your yard at night.  Shining lights on your house and on your yard during the night prevents some of the more mischievous characters from approaching your home.  That safety and security is priceless.

Beautiful on Their Own 

A well designed and installed lighting system creates ambiance and mood. They make the yard look mysterious and comforting. Your home will appear more grand than it did before.

• Pathway Lights : Highlight plants in gardens. Also used to light a path. Unlike other types of lights, these are on display so choosing the correct design is important. These can also be solar lights independent of an entire lighting system.

• Wash : Soft diffuse light for lighting large flat areas like fences and house walls. Can also be used on steps, patios, and other features.

• Up lights :  These project a single, strong, bright beam that cast light up to highlight a single feature, like:  trees, columns on a house, other vertical architecture features on a house such as a fireplace or other focal points in the landscape.  These are one of our absolute favorite types of lighting features!

• Flood : A balance between a bullet and a wash light. They cast a brighter light than a wash but have a wider beam than a bullet. Used sparingly on tree trunk or specific house features.

• Well : The fixture for these are actually buried in the ground. They cast a wide upward light. Good for highlighting foliage on a tree or a wall.

• Downlight or Moonlight  : Often mounted to a tree branch or trunk, these are used to create a moonlit effect on leaves and foliage. They can also be used to illuminate a patio, path, or outdoor living space.
