Custom Outdoor Lighting Design for Homes and Outdoor Living Spaces

Every home and outdoor living space is unique, and its outdoor lighting design should be as well. Our custom outdoor lighting designs are carefully crafted to complement your home’s architecture, landscaping, and outdoor living areas. Whether you’re looking for a complex design that highlights key features throughout the landscape or simple pathway lighting to improve visibility and safety, our team can create a gorgeous yet functional design for you.

Why Professional Outdoor Lighting Design Matters

Simply illuminating an outdoor space is not enough; thoughtful care must be taken to properly design it. When outdoor lighting is not planned properly, it can look unappealing, create unnecessary light pollution, and even reduce visibility at night.

Here are some benefits of professional outdoor lighting design and why it matters for your Houston property:

• Curb appeal: A professional outdoor lighting designer can balance aesthetics and functionality to enhance your home’s curb appeal. Thoughtfully crafted lighting design can make your property appear more inviting while highlighting the features of your home’s exterior and landscape.
• Safety: Carefully planned outdoor lighting designs can enhance the safety of those on the property by increasing visibility along driveways, walkways, stairs, and other frequently used areas. Proper illumination helps reduce the risk of trips, falls, and other accidents that can occur in low-light conditions. 
• Potential security benefits: While outdoor lighting alone cannot guarantee security, it may help deter unwanted activity when properly implemented. When combined with a security system and other home security measures, strategic lighting can contribute to a safer environment. 
• Increased usability of outdoor spaces: With the right lighting design, patios, porches, decks, and other outdoor living areas can remain functional and enjoyable long after sunset. Whether you need brighter lighting for dining and activities or softer illumination for relaxation and entertaining, a customized lighting plan can help create the ideal atmosphere. 

Our Landscape Lighting Design Process

To create an exceptional outdoor lighting design, we follow a specific process. This process helps us understand your needs and how we can create a design that addresses them. It goes like this:

• Initial phone call: When we initially speak to you over the phone, we’ll discuss your outdoor lighting goals, associated costs, and fixtures to be used in the design. 
• In-home consultation: Following the initial phone call, we’ll come to your home for an in-home consultation. During this time, we’ll walk through your property to fully understand it.
• Selecting the design: Later during the in-home consultation, we’ll create and present three outdoor lighting designs for you to choose from: a basic, premium, and deluxe design. We’ll thoroughly explain each option. When you’ve selected a design, we’ll schedule an installation.

Lighting Design Ideas for Different Areas of Your Property

There are many ways to design outdoor lighting so it illuminates different areas of your property. In this section, we’ll offer a brief overview of these various options in order to give you ideas:

• Path lighting: Path lighting can illuminate paths in order to help people find their way, while also highlighting the texture of a path and nearby gardens. 
• Wall washing: Wall washing is a technique in which soft, uniform light is projected onto a flat surface, such as a fence or the exterior of a home. Wall washing can also highlight the texture of a surface.
• Deck and patio lighting: Deck and patio lighting is generally intended to create a warm and inviting environment. A variety of fixtures can be used for deck and patio lighting.
• Step and stair lighting: As stairs and steps are a tripping hazard, step and stair lighting should first and foremost be concerned with safety. They are often installed directly in the risers of steps.
