Your El Granada property deserves lighting that matches its value. You’ll get dramatically enhanced curb appeal that makes your neighbors take notice, plus the security and safety that comes with properly illuminated pathways, driveways, and entry points.
No more limiting your outdoor entertaining to daylight hours. Professional landscape lighting transforms your patio, garden, and pool areas into inviting spaces perfect for dinner parties, quiet evenings, or family gatherings under the stars.
You’ll also see real savings on your energy bills. Modern LED systems use up to 80% less electricity than old halogen lights while lasting 25,000+ hours, meaning fewer replacements and lower maintenance costs for years to come.
We’ve been transforming El Granada properties since 1975. We’ve completed over 5,000 landscape projects throughout the Bay Area, working with everyone from tech executives to local families who simply want their outdoor spaces to shine.
What sets us apart in El Granada’s competitive market is our commitment to guaranteed timelines and white-glove service. Every project gets dedicated project management, daily updates, and the kind of attention to detail you’d expect from a firm that’s worked with Silicon Valley’s most demanding clients.
Our 3D design technology lets you see exactly how your landscape lighting will look before installation begins, eliminating surprises and ensuring you get the results you envisioned.
It starts with an in-person consultation at your El Granada property. We’ll assess your outdoor spaces, understand your goals, and discuss your timeline and budget requirements. No pressure, no generic solutions.
Next comes the 3D design phase where we create detailed visualizations of your lighting plan. You’ll see exactly where each fixture goes, how the lighting will look at night, and can make adjustments before any installation begins. This eliminates costly changes later.
Installation is handled by our vetted contractors with daily project management oversight. You’ll get updates on progress, guaranteed start and completion dates, and a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets our quality standards. The entire process is designed to be effortless on your end.

LED landscape lighting systems require minimal maintenance—typically just annual cleaning and occasional bulb replacement every 10-15 years. The coastal environment may require more frequent fixture cleaning to remove salt buildup and debris.
