Landscape Lighting

Enjoy Your Landscape After Dark

Your landscape doesn't disappear when the sun sets. With the right lighting, your outdoor space becomes even more magical at night. Professional landscape lighting extends your outdoor living hours, increases home security, improves safety on walkways and steps, and dramatically boosts curb appeal. Our landscape lighting services in Fontainebleau transform your property after dark.

We design and install landscape lighting throughout South Florida. From subtle path lights to dramatic uplighting on architectural features, we create custom lighting plans that highlight your property's best features while providing the practical illumination you need. Good landscape lighting looks natural, not like a car dealership.

Strategic Lighting Design

Random lights scattered around your yard create a disjointed look. Professional lighting design considers layers and focal points. We use several lighting techniques to create depth and interest:

• Uplighting that highlights trees, architectural details, or tall plants from below
• Downlighting or moonlighting that creates natural-looking shadows from above
• Path lighting that guides visitors safely while adding ambiance
• Accent lighting that draws attention to sculptures, water features, or special plantings
• Silhouette lighting that backlights interesting plants to show their form
• Wash lighting that illuminates walls or large areas evenly

We combine these techniques strategically to create a cohesive lighting plan. The goal is to guide the eye through your landscape while providing functional light where you need it. Your property should look intentionally designed, not over-lit or chaotic.

Energy Efficient LED Technology

Modern landscape lighting uses LED technology that's dramatically more efficient than old halogen bulbs. LEDs use 75% less energy, last 25 times longer, run cooler so they're safer around plants and mulch, and provide better color rendering so your landscape looks natural. The energy savings pay for the slightly higher upfront cost within a year or two, and then you're saving money every month.

We use professional-grade LED fixtures built for outdoor use. These aren't the cheap solar lights from big box stores that fade and fail after one season. Quality fixtures last for years with minimal maintenance, and when bulbs eventually do need replacing, the process is simple and quick.

Smart Controls and Automation

Nobody wants to manually turn landscape lights on and off every day. We install timer controls that automatically manage your lighting based on sunset and sunrise times. As seasons change, your lights adjust automatically. Many systems also include photocells that turn lights on only when it's actually dark, saving energy on cloudy but bright evenings.

For ultimate convenience, we offer smart lighting systems you control from your phone. Adjust brightness, turn zones on or off, or create custom schedules from anywhere. Heading home early? Turn your lights on before you arrive. Going on vacation? Program lights to vary their pattern so your home looks occupied. Smart lighting adds flexibility and security.

Installation That Protects Your Landscape

Installing landscape lighting requires running low-voltage wiring throughout your property. We do this carefully to avoid damaging plants, tree roots, or existing features. Wires are buried at appropriate depths, fixtures are positioned to avoid tripping hazards, and transformers are located where they're accessible for maintenance but not obtrusive.

We often coordinate lighting installation with other projects. If you're doing new hardscaping or landscape installation, that's the perfect time to add lighting. We can run wires before pavers go down or position lights as plants are installed. This integrated approach is more efficient and often less expensive than adding lighting later.
