Your evenings become safer and more enjoyable. No more stumbling down dark pathways or squinting to find your keys. Your landscape transforms into an elegant showcase that highlights your home’s best features while deterring unwanted visitors.
Property values increase significantly with professional landscape lighting. Studies show you can add $2,500 to your home’s value with a 50% return on investment. Your neighbors notice the difference, and so do potential buyers if you ever decide to sell.
The stress of managing contractors disappears completely. You get daily updates, guaranteed timelines, and a project manager who handles every detail from permits to cleanup.
We’ve been transforming Sunnyvale properties since 1975. We understand the unique character of Silicon Valley homes, from the tech executive estates near Moffett Park to the family neighborhoods around Heritage District and Cherry Chase.
Our team has completed over 5,000 projects throughout the Bay Area. We’ve worked with some of the most influential people in Silicon Valley, including executives from Apple, Yahoo, and the San Francisco 49ers. That experience shows in every installation.
What sets us apart in Sunnyvale is our understanding of local regulations and climate considerations. We know how to design lighting that withstands the Bay Area’s mild winters and dry summers while complying with the city’s lighting ordinances.
Everything starts with an on-site consultation at your Sunnyvale property. We survey your existing landscape, discuss your vision, and identify the best placement for fixtures. This isn’t a quick walk-around—we take detailed measurements and photos.
Next comes the design phase where we create your custom 3D renderings and animated videos. You’ll see exactly how your finished landscape lighting will look before any work begins. We include up to three free revisions because getting it right matters more than rushing.
Installation typically takes just eight days with our vetted contractors. We handle all permits, manage the daily progress, and keep you updated throughout. Our project manager oversees every detail from trenching to final testing, so you don’t have to coordinate with multiple trades or worry about quality control.

Every Sunnyvale landscape lighting project includes professional-grade LED fixtures designed for our local climate. We use low-voltage systems that are safer to operate and more energy-efficient than traditional high-voltage alternatives. Your monthly electricity costs stay manageable while providing beautiful illumination.
The installation covers pathway lighting for safe navigation, uplighting for architectural features and mature trees, and accent lighting for garden focal points. We integrate smart controls when requested, giving you smartphone access to adjust brightness and timing from anywhere.
Sunnyvale’s diverse neighborhoods require different approaches. Properties near the bay need fixtures that handle higher humidity, while homes closer to the hills benefit from uplighting that showcases the natural landscape. We select materials and placement strategies that work specifically for your microclimate and architectural style.
Landscape lighting costs in Sunnyvale typically range from $2,000 to $6,000 depending on the size of your property and complexity of the design. Low-voltage fixtures average about $120 per fixture to install, and most Sunnyvale homes need 15-25 fixtures for comprehensive coverage.
The investment pays for itself through increased property value and reduced energy costs. Professional LED installations add approximately $2,500 to your home’s value with a 50% return on investment. We offer interest-free financing options to make the project more manageable.
Your final cost depends on factors like the number of fixtures, trenching requirements, and smart control integration. We provide detailed estimates after the initial consultation so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Sunnyvale’s architectural diversity means different lighting approaches work better for different home styles. Ranch homes benefit from pathway lighting and tree uplighting that extends the horizontal lines. Two-story homes need wall washing and architectural accent lighting to highlight vertical features.
LED fixtures perform exceptionally well in our Bay Area climate. They withstand temperature fluctuations better than incandescent options and use 75% less energy. Low-voltage systems are safer around children and pets while providing the same beautiful illumination as high-voltage alternatives.
Smart lighting controls are increasingly popular with Sunnyvale homeowners. You can adjust brightness, set timers, and even change colors for special occasions using smartphone apps. This technology integrates seamlessly with existing home automation systems common in Silicon Valley properties.
Most Sunnyvale landscape lighting installations complete within 8-10 days from start to finish. The timeline depends on your property size, number of fixtures, and any special features like water elements or extensive hardscaping integration.
We handle all permit requirements with the City of Sunnyvale before starting work. Our project manager coordinates with utility companies if any line marking is needed and ensures compliance with local lighting ordinances that prevent glare onto neighboring properties.
Weather rarely delays projects in our mild climate, but we do avoid trenching during the wettest winter months when possible. Spring and fall are ideal times for installation because plants are dormant and you’ll have the full lighting effect ready for your next outdoor entertaining season.
Most landscape lighting installations in Sunnyvale require electrical permits, especially for new transformer installations and any connections to your home’s electrical system. Low-voltage lighting typically has simpler permit requirements than high-voltage systems, but professional installation still needs proper approvals.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. Our contractors are licensed and familiar with Sunnyvale’s specific requirements, including the lighting ordinances that require fixtures to be shielded to prevent glare on adjacent properties.
The permit process usually takes 1-2 weeks and costs between $100-300 depending on project scope. This protects you from liability issues and ensures the installation meets current electrical codes. Insurance companies also prefer permitted electrical work when processing any future claims.
LED landscape lighting requires minimal maintenance in Sunnyvale’s favorable climate. Annual cleaning of fixtures and lens covers maintains optimal light output, and occasional pruning around uplighted trees prevents vegetation from blocking illumination patterns.
Transformer systems should be inspected annually to ensure connections remain tight and weatherproof. Our installations use commercial-grade transformers designed for 15-20 year lifespans with proper maintenance. We provide maintenance schedules and can arrange annual service visits if preferred.
Most issues arise from sprinkler system damage or landscape changes rather than fixture failures. When installing new plants or modifying irrigation, inform your landscaper about lighting wire locations to prevent accidental damage. We provide detailed as-built drawings showing all wire runs for future reference.
Professional landscape lighting significantly improves home security by eliminating dark areas where intruders might hide. Well-lit pathways, driveways, and entry points deter criminal activity while helping you identify visitors before opening doors.
Motion-activated fixtures provide additional security without keeping lights on constantly. These sensors can illuminate specific zones when movement is detected while maintaining ambient lighting levels throughout the evening. Smart controls allow you to simulate occupancy when traveling by varying lighting patterns.
Sunnyvale’s low crime rates benefit from community-wide security measures, and landscape lighting contributes to neighborhood safety. Properties with professional lighting installations experience fewer security incidents because criminals prefer targets with poor visibility and multiple hiding spots.
