You’ll walk outside each evening to a space that feels completely transformed. Your pathways glow with warm, welcoming light that guides guests safely to your door. Your garden’s best features—that mature oak tree, the stone retaining wall, your carefully curated flower beds—suddenly become the stars of the show instead of disappearing into darkness.
Security becomes effortless when motion-activated fixtures automatically illuminate entry points and dark corners. Your home projects the kind of confident, well-maintained presence that makes neighbors take notice and adds real value to your property investment.
The outdoor entertaining you’ve been putting off finally becomes possible. Dinner parties extend naturally into the evening hours, and your deck or patio transforms into the kind of space where people actually want to spend time.
We’ve been designing and installing landscape lighting in Newark and throughout the Bay Area since 1975. We’ve completed over 5,000 projects, working with everyone from Silicon Valley executives to families who simply want their outdoor spaces to work better.
What sets us apart isn’t just experience—it’s our approach. We use 3D design technology to show you exactly how your lighting will look before installation begins. No guesswork, no surprises, no “trust us, it’ll look great.”
Newark homeowners choose us because we understand the local landscape. We know how the Bay Area’s Mediterranean climate affects outdoor lighting choices, which fixtures hold up to coastal weather patterns, and how to design systems that complement both traditional and contemporary architecture styles common in your neighborhood.
We start with an on-site consultation where we walk your property together, discussing your goals, concerns, and vision. This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s a genuine assessment of what will work best for your specific space and lifestyle.
Next comes the design phase using our 3D modeling technology. You’ll see exactly how different fixture placements will look, how light will fall across your landscape, and how the system will appear both during the day and at night. We make adjustments until the design perfectly matches your vision.
Installation is handled by our vetted contractors who specialize in low-voltage outdoor lighting systems. We manage every aspect of the project, providing daily updates and ensuring work stays on schedule. Most residential installations in Newark are completed within 5-8 days, with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
After installation, we conduct a complete walkthrough, showing you how to operate your new system and addressing any questions. Your lighting comes with comprehensive warranties on both fixtures and installation work.
Ready to get started?
Our landscape lighting installations in Newark include everything needed for a complete, professional system. Low-voltage LED fixtures provide energy efficiency and longevity—most of our clients see their electricity costs increase by less than $15 per month even with comprehensive lighting throughout their property.
We install weather-resistant transformers designed for Northern California’s climate conditions, from winter rains to summer heat. All wiring is properly buried and protected, meeting local electrical codes and HOA requirements common in Newark neighborhoods.
Your system includes smart controls that allow smartphone operation, scheduling, and dimming adjustments. Motion sensors can be integrated for security areas, while pathway and accent lighting operates on separate zones for maximum flexibility.
We handle all necessary permits and inspections required by the City of Newark. Our installations comply with local dark sky ordinances while still providing the security and aesthetic benefits you want. Most importantly, everything comes with our comprehensive warranty covering both materials and workmanship.
Most Newark homeowners invest between $2,500 and $6,000 for comprehensive landscape lighting, depending on property size and fixture count. A typical installation includes 12-20 fixtures covering pathways, entry points, and key landscape features.
The cost includes low-voltage LED fixtures, professional-grade transformers, all wiring and installation labor, plus permits and inspections. We provide detailed, written estimates during our consultation so you know exactly what’s included before any work begins.
Higher-end installations with smart controls, color-changing capabilities, or extensive coverage can range up to $10,000. However, most clients find that a well-designed system in the $3,000-$4,500 range provides excellent coverage and dramatically improves both security and curb appeal.
Low-voltage LED systems perform exceptionally well in Newark’s Mediterranean climate. LED fixtures handle temperature fluctuations better than traditional halogen lights and aren’t affected by coastal moisture that can cause other lighting types to fail prematurely.
We recommend fixtures with marine-grade finishes—brass, copper, or powder-coated aluminum—that resist corrosion from Bay Area salt air. These materials maintain their appearance and functionality for decades, even in Newark’s proximity to the San Francisco Bay.
Solar-powered lights can work for accent lighting, but we typically recommend hardwired systems for primary pathway and security lighting. Newark gets excellent sun exposure for solar charging, but hardwired systems provide consistent performance regardless of weather patterns or seasonal daylight changes.
Most residential landscape lighting projects in Newark are completed within 5-8 working days. Smaller installations covering just pathways and entry points might finish in 2-3 days, while comprehensive systems with extensive garden lighting can take up to two weeks.
Timeline depends on several factors: total fixture count, complexity of wiring runs, and any landscaping modifications needed. We also factor in permit approval time from the City of Newark, though most residential lighting permits are processed within 3-5 business days.
Weather rarely delays projects significantly in Newark’s climate, but we do pause installation during heavy rain to protect electrical connections. We provide a detailed timeline during your consultation and send daily updates throughout the installation process so you always know what to expect.
Yes, most landscape lighting installations in Newark require electrical permits, especially for hardwired low-voltage systems. The City of Newark requires permits for any new electrical circuits, even low-voltage outdoor lighting that connects to your home’s electrical system.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. The process typically takes 3-5 business days for approval, and permit fees are included in your project cost. Our installations meet all local electrical codes and HOA requirements common in Newark neighborhoods.
Some very simple solar-powered accent lighting doesn’t require permits, but any system that enhances security or provides pathway illumination typically needs proper permitting. This protects both you and future buyers by ensuring the installation meets safety standards and can pass home inspections.
Modern LED landscape lighting has minimal impact on electricity costs. Most Newark homeowners see their monthly bills increase by $10-$20 even with comprehensive lighting throughout their property. LED fixtures use approximately 75% less energy than traditional halogen bulbs while providing superior light quality.
A typical system with 15-20 LED fixtures running 6 hours per night costs roughly $15-$25 per month to operate. Smart controls and timers can reduce costs further by automatically adjusting lighting schedules based on sunset times and your actual usage patterns.
The energy efficiency of LED technology means your lighting system typically pays for itself within 3-5 years through increased property value alone. When you factor in enhanced security and the ability to use outdoor spaces after dark, the return on investment becomes even more compelling for Newark homeowners.
LED landscape lighting requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional lighting systems. Most fixtures need only occasional cleaning to remove dust and debris—typically 2-3 times per year in Newark’s relatively clean air environment.
We recommend checking connections and adjusting fixture angles annually, especially after winter storms. LED bulbs typically last 15-20 years, so replacement costs are minimal. Smart systems allow you to monitor individual fixtures through smartphone apps, making it easy to identify any issues quickly.
Our installations include comprehensive warranties covering both fixtures and installation work. We also offer maintenance packages for clients who prefer professional service, including seasonal adjustments, cleaning, and system optimization. Most Newark clients find they can handle basic maintenance themselves with the guidance we provide during installation.
