Your outdoor spaces shouldn’t shut down when the sun goes down. Professional landscape lighting transforms your Woodside property into an inviting extension of your home, perfect for evening entertaining and family gatherings.
With the right lighting design, your pathways become safely navigable, your architectural features gain dramatic appeal, and your landscaping investments shine after dark. You’ll create the kind of resort-like ambiance that makes neighbors stop and take notice while adding significant value to your property.
Smart LED systems reduce energy costs by up to 65% compared to traditional lighting while lasting over 50,000 hours. You get beautiful illumination that’s both environmentally responsible and budget-friendly long-term.
We’ve been transforming Bay Area properties since 1975. As a family-operated business, we understand Woodside’s unique character and the importance of respecting both your vision and local dark-sky ordinances.
Our team combines traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge 3D design technology to create lighting plans that enhance your property’s natural beauty. We’ve spent 50 years building relationships with homeowners who value quality, reliability, and results that last.
Every project receives personal attention from our experienced designers who know how to balance dramatic lighting effects with Woodside’s commitment to preserving dark skies. You get professional installation that complies with local regulations while creating the outdoor ambiance you want.
We start with an in-person consultation at your Woodside property to understand your goals, assess your landscape, and discuss how lighting can enhance your outdoor living. Our designers evaluate your architectural features, existing landscaping, and how you use your outdoor spaces.
Next, we create detailed 3D renderings that show exactly how your lighting will look before installation begins. This eliminates guesswork and ensures you’re completely satisfied with the design. We handle all permits and ensure compliance with Woodside’s dark-sky requirements.
Installation is managed by our experienced team using weather-resistant, energy-efficient fixtures designed for California’s climate. We provide guaranteed start and completion dates with daily project updates. After installation, we conduct a nighttime walkthrough to fine-tune any adjustments and ensure everything meets your expectations.

Our landscape lighting services include pathway illumination, architectural uplighting, garden accent lighting, and security-focused solutions. We specialize in low-voltage LED systems that provide superior performance while meeting Woodside’s energy efficiency expectations.
Woodside’s hillside properties and mature trees create unique opportunities for dramatic lighting effects. We design systems that highlight your property’s natural contours while ensuring all fixtures comply with local dark-sky ordinances that protect the community’s rural character.
Every installation includes smart controls, motion sensors where appropriate, and timer systems that automatically adjust for seasonal changes. You get professional-grade lighting that enhances your property value while respecting Woodside’s commitment to environmental stewardship and dark-sky preservation.
Woodside properties benefit most from low-voltage LED systems with full cutoff fixtures that direct light downward, complying with local dark-sky ordinances. Path lighting, architectural uplighting, and garden accent lighting create beautiful effects while respecting your neighbors and the night sky.
We recommend warm-toned LEDs (2700K-3000K) that provide inviting illumination without the harsh blue light that can disrupt wildlife. Motion sensors and timers ensure lights operate only when needed, reducing energy consumption and light pollution.
For Woodside’s mature landscapes, we often use well lights for tree uplighting and low-profile fixtures for pathways that blend seamlessly with natural surroundings while providing necessary safety illumination.
Professional landscape lighting installation in Woodside typically ranges from $3,000 to $12,000 depending on property size, fixture quality, and design complexity. Most homeowners invest between $5,000 to $8,000 for comprehensive lighting that covers key areas.
Factors affecting cost include the number of fixtures, transformer requirements, wire runs, and whether you choose standard or premium LED fixtures. Properties with challenging terrain or extensive landscaping may require additional planning and installation time.
We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront, including fixtures, installation, permits, and any necessary electrical work. Our designs maximize impact while working within your budget, and we offer financing options for larger projects.
Modern LED landscape lighting systems require minimal maintenance when professionally installed. Most fixtures need only periodic cleaning and occasional bulb replacement, with quality LEDs lasting 15-20 years under normal conditions.
We recommend annual system checks to ensure all fixtures remain properly aimed, timers function correctly, and any plant growth hasn’t blocked light paths. Our maintenance service includes fixture cleaning, bulb replacement, and timer adjustments for seasonal changes.
Woodside’s climate is generally favorable for outdoor lighting, but we use marine-grade fixtures and connections designed to withstand moisture, temperature variations, and UV exposure. Proper installation and quality components minimize long-term maintenance needs.
Woodside’s dark-sky ordinances require fixtures that direct light downward and minimize light trespass onto neighboring properties. We design all systems to meet these requirements using fully shielded fixtures and strategic placement that contains light within your property boundaries.
Key compliance factors include using warm-toned LEDs, avoiding uplighting that spills into the sky, and ensuring no glare affects adjacent properties or roadways. Motion sensors and timers help reduce overall light pollution while maintaining security and usability.
Our team stays current with local regulations and handles all permit requirements. We provide documentation showing compliance with Woodside’s lighting standards, giving you confidence that your installation meets all municipal requirements while achieving your aesthetic goals.
Professional installation ensures proper electrical connections, optimal fixture placement, and compliance with local codes that DIY installations often miss. We have the tools and expertise to run low-voltage wiring safely underground and create lighting effects that highlight your property’s best features.
DIY systems typically use plug-in fixtures that limit design flexibility and often create uneven lighting patterns. Professional installations use centralized transformers and strategic wire runs that allow for more sophisticated control and better long-term reliability.
The investment in professional installation pays off through superior performance, longer fixture life, and lighting designs that actually enhance property value. We also provide warranties on both materials and installation that DIY systems can’t match.
Most residential landscape lighting installations in Woodside take 2-4 days depending on system complexity and property size. Simple pathway and accent lighting might be completed in one day, while comprehensive whole-property lighting requires more time for proper installation.
The timeline includes fixture placement, underground wiring, transformer installation, and system programming. We work efficiently while ensuring every connection meets professional standards and all fixtures are properly aimed and tested before completion.
Weather can affect outdoor installation schedules, but we provide guaranteed start and completion dates with daily progress updates. Our goal is to minimize disruption to your daily routine while delivering lighting that transforms your property’s nighttime appeal.
