Your Piedmont home represents a significant investment—one that deserves to shine after sunset. Quality landscape lighting doesn’t just make your property safer to navigate; it transforms your entire outdoor experience.
Picture walking up to a beautifully lit entrance that guides you safely home while showcasing your architectural details. Imagine hosting evening gatherings on a deck that feels warm and inviting, or simply enjoying your garden’s beauty long after the sun goes down.
The right lighting system adds substantial value to your property while giving you more hours to actually enjoy the outdoor spaces you’ve invested in. It’s not just about illumination—it’s about maximizing what you already own.

LED low-voltage systems perform exceptionally well in Piedmont’s Mediterranean climate. These fixtures resist moisture, temperature fluctuations, and UV exposure while providing consistent illumination year-round.
For Piedmont’s diverse architectural styles—from Craftsman to Mediterranean to contemporary—we select fixtures that complement rather than compete with your home’s design. Warm-toned LEDs (2700K-3000K) create inviting ambiance that enhances evening entertaining, while strategic placement highlights architectural details without creating harsh glare.
Our weather-resistant fixtures are specifically rated for outdoor use and designed to handle everything from winter rains to summer heat. This means your lighting system looks and performs beautifully for decades, not just seasons.
Yes, modern landscape lighting systems include smart control options that integrate with your smartphone and home automation systems. You can adjust brightness, create custom schedules, and even change lighting scenes for different occasions—all from your phone or voice commands.
Smart controls are particularly valuable for busy Piedmont families. Set your lights to automatically welcome you home from work, create different moods for entertaining, or ensure your property stays well-lit when you’re traveling. The system learns your preferences and can even adjust based on sunset times throughout the year.
These features aren’t just convenient—they’re also energy-efficient. Smart scheduling ensures lights operate only when needed, maximizing the lifespan of your LED fixtures while minimizing energy consumption.
Most Piedmont landscape lighting installations are completed in 2-4 days, depending on system complexity and property size. We coordinate timing to minimize disruption to your routine and always work around your schedule.
Our installation process protects your existing landscaping. We use specialized trenching equipment that creates narrow channels for wiring, and we carefully restore all disturbed areas. Any plants that need temporary relocation are handled with care and replanted immediately.
We take pride in leaving your property cleaner than we found it. Our team includes experienced landscapers who understand how to work around mature plantings, irrigation systems, and hardscaping. The result is a lighting system that looks like it was always part of your landscape design.
Quality LED landscape lighting requires minimal maintenance—one of the key advantages of professional installation. LED fixtures last 15-20 years under normal conditions, and our weather-resistant components are designed for long-term outdoor performance.
Annual maintenance typically involves cleaning fixtures, checking connections, and adjusting any lights that may have shifted. Our transformers include built-in protection against power surges and weather-related issues. Most Piedmont clients schedule annual service visits to ensure optimal performance, though the systems operate reliably year-round.
Unlike solar lights that require frequent battery replacement or cheap fixtures that fail after a few seasons, professional-grade systems provide decades of consistent performance. This reliability is especially important for safety lighting along pathways and stairs.
Professional landscape lighting typically provides 50-70% return on investment through increased curb appeal and perceived home value. For Piedmont properties, where median values exceed $1 million, even a modest lighting investment can add significant market appeal.
Quality lighting extends your usable outdoor space, which buyers increasingly value. A well-lit deck, patio, or garden effectively adds “rooms” to your home by making these areas functional after dark. This is particularly valuable in Piedmont’s mild climate where outdoor entertaining happens year-round.
Beyond immediate value, landscape lighting demonstrates that a property has been professionally maintained and upgraded. This attention to detail signals quality throughout the home, making your property more attractive to discerning buyers who appreciate thoughtful improvements.
