You’ve invested in beautiful landscaping, but it disappears the moment the sun goes down. That’s money and enjoyment left on the table every single night.
Quality landscape lighting changes everything. Your pathways become safe for evening walks. Your garden features get the spotlight they deserve. Your outdoor entertaining extends well past dinner time.
The best part? Modern LED systems cost just $10-15 monthly to run while adding real value to your Albany property. You’re not just buying lights—you’re buying years of extended outdoor living.
Since 1975, we’ve been the Bay Area’s go-to team for landscape lighting that actually works. Over 5,000 completed projects, from simple pathway lighting to elaborate outdoor entertainment systems.

Pathway lighting keeps your family safe walking from the car to your front door. Accent lighting showcases the architectural details and mature landscaping you’ve worked hard to create. Security lighting gives you peace of mind without turning your yard into a floodlit parking lot.
Albany’s year-round outdoor living climate demands lighting systems built to last. We use premium low-voltage LED systems that handle everything from winter rains to summer heat while delivering consistent, beautiful illumination.
Smart controls mean your lighting adapts to your schedule automatically. Vacation mode, seasonal adjustments, zone control—your system works the way you live, not the other way around.
Most Albany homeowners invest $3,500-5,000 for quality landscape lighting that covers key areas like pathways, entry points, and featured landscaping. Smaller projects focusing on safety lighting start around $2,000, while comprehensive designs for larger properties can reach $8,000-10,000.
The cost per fixture ranges from $150-400 installed, depending on fixture quality and installation complexity. Premium LED systems cost more upfront but save significantly on energy costs and maintenance over their 15-20 year lifespan.
Think of it as an investment that pays dividends nightly. You’ll extend your outdoor living hours, improve safety, and typically see 50% of your investment returned in increased property value.
Albany’s Mediterranean climate is actually ideal for outdoor lighting, but you need systems designed for occasional winter moisture and year-round UV exposure. LED low-voltage systems perform best here—they’re energy efficient, long-lasting, and handle weather variations without issues.
Bronze and stainless steel fixtures resist corrosion better than cheaper alternatives and complement Albany’s architectural styles. Avoid plastic fixtures that become brittle under UV exposure or basic aluminum that corrodes quickly.
Smart controls are particularly valuable in Albany since you’ll use outdoor spaces year-round. Automatic seasonal adjustments, zone control, and smartphone operation make your system convenient and efficient regardless of weather.
Yes, landscape lighting installation in Albany requires electrical permits when connecting to your home’s electrical system or installing new circuits. Local codes also specify wire burial depths, acceptable conduit materials, and fixture placement requirements.
We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections with Albany’s building department. This ensures your system meets safety standards and won’t create issues with insurance or future home sales.
DIY installations often miss permit requirements, creating safety hazards and potential liability issues. The permit process typically adds $200-400 to project costs but provides essential protection and code compliance.
Most Albany installations complete in 2-4 days, depending on system size and property complexity. Simple pathway lighting projects often finish in a single day, while comprehensive whole-property designs might take a week.
We guarantee both start and completion dates—unusual in the construction industry but standard for us. Albany’s favorable weather rarely causes delays, and we schedule around your needs to minimize disruption.
Installation includes trenching for low-voltage cables, fixture placement, transformer installation, and complete system testing. We clean up thoroughly each day and coordinate with any existing landscaping maintenance schedules.
Quality landscape lighting typically returns 40-60% of its cost in increased home value, with the average addition being $2,000-3,500 for well-designed systems. But the real value goes beyond pure dollars.
In Albany’s competitive real estate market, homes with professional landscape lighting stand out immediately. Evening curb appeal matters—buyers often drive by properties multiple times, including after work hours.
Functional benefits add value too. Safe pathways, extended outdoor living space, and enhanced security features appeal to buyers who want to use their outdoor spaces year-round. Poor or DIY lighting can actually detract from value, so professional installation matters.
Modern LED landscape lighting requires surprisingly little maintenance in Albany’s climate. Annual cleaning of fixtures and occasional adjustment of lighting zones as your landscaping matures covers most needs.
LED bulbs last 15-20 years under normal conditions, far longer than the 1-3 years you’d get from halogen systems. Most “maintenance” involves seasonal preference adjustments through your smart control system rather than actual repairs.
We recommend annual professional check-ups costing $150-250 to ensure optimal performance, clean fixtures thoroughly, and make any needed adjustments. This preventive approach extends system life and maintains the beautiful results you invested in.
