You’ve invested thousands in creating the perfect outdoor space. But when darkness falls, it’s like that investment never existed. Professional landscape lighting changes everything.
Your pathways become safely navigable. Your garden features get the spotlight they deserve. Your outdoor entertaining doesn’t have to end at sunset.
With the right lighting design, you’re not just illuminating your property—you’re extending your living space, boosting your home’s value by up to $2,500, and creating the kind of outdoor environment that makes neighbors stop and stare.
We’ve been transforming San Jose outdoor spaces since 1975. We’ve completed over 5,000 projects across the Bay Area, working with everyone from Silicon Valley executives to families who simply want to love their homes more.
What sets us apart isn’t just our 50 years of experience—it’s our understanding of what San Jose homeowners actually need. We know the unique challenges of our local climate, from seasonal winds to occasional heavy rains.
We’ve worked with Apple executives, Yahoo leadership, and San Francisco 49ers personnel. But every project gets the same attention to detail, whether it’s a modest path lighting installation or a complete outdoor lighting transformation.
We start with an on-site consultation where we actually listen to how you want to use your outdoor space. No cookie-cutter solutions here.
Next comes the design phase. Using 3D rendering technology, we’ll show you exactly what your landscape lighting will look like before we install a single fixture. You’ll see your project completed before we even break ground.
Installation happens with guaranteed start and completion dates—something rare in our industry. Our licensed electricians handle all permits and ensure everything meets California Title 24 energy standards and San Jose building codes.
We finish with a complete walkthrough, making sure every light performs exactly as designed. You get daily updates throughout the process, so there are never any surprises.

San Jose’s unique climate demands lighting solutions that can handle everything from summer heat to winter storms. We specialize in weatherproof, energy-efficient LED systems that perform year-round.
Our low-voltage landscape lighting systems prioritize safety while delivering dramatic results. At around $120 per fixture, these systems reduce shock risk and energy consumption while providing the illumination your property deserves.
We handle everything from simple landscape path lights that guide guests safely to your door, to comprehensive outdoor security lighting that eliminates dark hiding spots around your property. Every installation includes smart control options, so you can adjust your lighting from inside your home.
Whether you’re in Willow Glen, Almaden Valley, or anywhere in San Jose, we understand the specific needs of Bay Area homeowners who want their outdoor investments to work as hard as they do.
Most San Jose landscape lighting projects range from $1,000 to $4,000, depending on the scope and number of fixtures. Low-voltage systems typically cost around $120 per fixture installed.
The investment pays for itself through increased property value—the National Association of Realtors reports that landscape lighting adds an average of $2,500 to home value with a 50% return on investment. More importantly, you’ll actually be able to enjoy your outdoor space after dark.
We provide detailed estimates during our free consultation, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
San Jose’s occasional heavy rains, high temperatures, and seasonal winds require weatherproof LED fixtures designed for our specific conditions. We recommend low-voltage systems for both safety and energy efficiency.
LED landscape lighting consumes up to 70% less energy than traditional options while providing superior illumination. These fixtures are built to withstand our climate extremes and typically last 15-20 years with minimal maintenance.
We source fixtures specifically rated for California’s outdoor conditions and ensure all installations meet local building codes and energy efficiency standards.
Most landscape lighting installations in San Jose require electrical permits, especially for new wiring or connections to your home’s electrical system. The good news is we handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service.
Our licensed electricians ensure every installation meets California Title 24 energy codes and San Jose building regulations. This protects you from potential code violations and ensures your lighting system is safe and properly installed.
DIY installations often fail inspections and can create safety hazards. Professional installation with proper permits protects your investment and gives you peace of mind.
Most residential landscape lighting projects take 1-3 days to complete, depending on the number of fixtures and complexity of the design. We provide guaranteed start and completion dates—something rare in our industry.
Simple path lighting installations might be completed in a single day, while comprehensive outdoor lighting systems with multiple zones and smart controls typically take 2-3 days. Weather conditions and soil characteristics can affect timing, but we build realistic schedules from the start.
We provide daily progress updates throughout installation, so you always know exactly where your project stands. Our goal is to minimize disruption to your daily routine while delivering exceptional results.
Absolutely. The National Association of Realtors reports that landscape lighting adds an average of $2,500 to home value with a 50% return on investment. But the value goes beyond just dollars.
Professional landscape lighting dramatically improves curb appeal, making your home stand out in San Jose’s competitive real estate market. It also demonstrates that the property has been professionally maintained and upgraded.
More importantly, you’ll get to enjoy the increased functionality and beauty of your outdoor space every single night. The value isn’t just financial—it’s about actually being able to use and appreciate your landscaping investment around the clock.
Quality LED landscape lighting requires minimal maintenance in San Jose’s climate. Most systems need only annual cleaning of fixtures and occasional bulb replacement—though LED bulbs typically last 15-20 years.
We recommend checking connections and cleaning fixtures once a year to remove dust and debris that can accumulate during our dry summers. Our weatherproof installations are designed to handle San Jose’s seasonal changes without constant attention.
All our installations come with comprehensive warranties, and we provide ongoing maintenance services if you prefer professional care. The key is starting with quality components and proper installation—both of which we guarantee.
