Good Lighting Doesn't Happen by Accident

Most yards look great in the afternoon and disappear after dark. If you’ve invested in landscaping, a stone walkway, mature trees, or a well-designed front elevation, none of that is visible the moment the sun sets. Landscape lighting changes that — and when it’s done well, the results are hard to ignore. We install landscape lighting systems for homes and commercial properties throughout Fort Worth, Arlington, Keller, Southlake, Flower Mound, and the wider DFW and Mid-Cities area across Tarrant, Dallas, and Denton counties. What we install isn’t a collection of random fixtures — it’s a designed system that considers your property’s architecture, your yard’s layout, and how you actually use your outdoor space.

Licensed Electricians for Outdoor Lighting

Why a Licensed Electrician Makes the Difference

Here’s something most homeowners don’t know: in Texas, landscapers are legally allowed to install low-voltage landscape fixtures — but they cannot touch the power source. The transformer connection to your home’s electrical panel requires a licensed electrician under Texas TDLR law. That means any landscaper or handyman who wires your system all the way through is doing work they’re not licensed to perform. We handle the complete installation. From the panel connection and transformer sizing to fixture placement and final voltage testing — everything is done by our licensed electricians under one contract. No subcontractors, no coordination gaps, no liability questions. Just a complete system installed correctly the first time. This also matters for permits. Fort Worth, Arlington, Keller, Southlake, Flower Mound, and surrounding municipalities in Tarrant, Dallas, and Denton counties require permits for electrical work tied to your home’s system. We handle that process as part of every installation, so you’re not left navigating city paperwork on your own.

Professional Landscape Lighting Fixtures Texas

Built to Survive North Texas — Not Just Look Good on Day One

DFW is not an easy environment for outdoor fixtures. Summer temperatures regularly crack 100°F, UV radiation is intense, hailstorms roll through every spring, and after 2021, nobody in this area needs a reminder of what a hard freeze can do to outdoor electrical systems. We use commercial-grade, UL-listed fixtures — solid brass, copper, and powder-coated aluminum — not the plastic store-bought lights that crack and discolor after one Texas summer. Every fixture is rated IP65 or higher for weatherproof performance. Every underground connection is waterproofed and buried to code. And every system is backed by a 2–5 year parts and labor warranty, depending on the scope of the project. The difference between a $30 hardware store fixture and an $80 professional-grade one isn’t just price — it’s the lifetime manufacturer warranty, the material integrity under extreme heat, and the fact that it still looks the same five years from now.

Landscaped Lighting Installation FAQs

Common questions about our Landscaped Lighting Installation services

How much does professional landscape lighting installation cost in DFW and Mid-Cities?

Most residential landscape lighting installations across Tarrant, Dallas, and Denton counties fall somewhere between $2,000 and $6,000, with an average around $3,250 for a complete front-yard system. On a per-fixture basis, expect to pay roughly $90 to $150 for professional installation, depending on fixture type and placement complexity. Larger properties with more focal points — mature trees, architectural features, extended pathways — will land toward the higher end of that range. We provide a clear, itemized quote before any work starts, so you’re not guessing at the final number. The scope, fixture quality, and transformer requirements all affect the total, and we walk you through every line item.

Do I actually need a licensed electrician for landscape lighting, or can my landscaper handle it?

In Texas, this is an important distinction. Under Texas Occupations Code Section 1305.003(a)(13), landscapers are permitted to install low-voltage exterior lighting fixtures — but only excluding the power source. That means the transformer connection to your home’s electrical panel legally requires a licensed electrician. Any landscaper or handyman completing that connection without a TDLR license is performing unlicensed electrical work, which can void your homeowner’s insurance, create code violations, and complicate future home sales. We’re licensed to handle the complete installation — from the panel to the last fixture in your yard — so there are no gaps in who’s responsible for what.

What types of landscape lighting can be installed, and how do I know what's right for my property?

The most common options include pathway lights along walkways and driveways, uplights for trees and architectural features, well lights for lawn areas where mowing would damage surface-mounted fixtures, downlights mounted in tree canopies for a natural moonlit effect, wall wash lighting across fences or home facades, step lights for raised patios and decks, and motion-sensor security lighting at entry points. What’s right for your property depends on your goals — safety, security, aesthetics, or some combination. During our initial walkthrough, we assess your yard’s layout, your home’s architecture, and how you use your outdoor space to recommend a system that actually fits, rather than a generic package.

Will landscape lighting significantly increase my monthly electric bill?

Not if it’s installed with LED technology, which is what we use on every installation. High-quality LED fixtures consume at least 75% less energy than older incandescent alternatives. For most residential systems in DFW and Mid-Cities, the added monthly cost runs somewhere between $5 and $15 depending on how many fixtures you have and how many hours per night they run. Pair that with an automated timer or photocell control — which turns lights on at sunset and off at a set time — and you’re only paying for the hours the system is actually running. The energy cost of a professionally designed LED landscape lighting system is genuinely minimal.

How long does a landscape lighting installation take from start to finish?

For most residential properties across Tarrant, Dallas, and Denton counties, the physical installation takes one to two days once the design is finalized and materials are on hand. Smaller projects — pathway lighting and a few accent fixtures — can often be completed in a single day. Larger systems involving extensive uplighting, long wire runs across a big lot, or multiple transformer zones may take two days. We also handle any required permits through the city, which can add a few days to the overall timeline depending on the municipality. Fort Worth, Keller, Southlake, and other local cities each have their own permit processing timelines, and we manage that process so you don’t have to.

What happens if a fixture or part of the system fails after installation?

Every landscape lighting installation we complete is backed by a 2–5 year parts and labor warranty, depending on the scope of the project. If something fails within the warranty period — a fixture, a connection, a transformer component — we come back and fix it. No runaround, no “that’s a manufacturer issue you need to handle separately.” The warranty covers both the parts and the labor to replace them. Beyond the warranty period, we’re still available for maintenance visits, fixture adjustments as your landscaping matures and plants grow, and system expansions if you want to add zones down the road. A system we install is one we stand behind long-term.

Outdoor Lighting Benefits for DFW Homes

Your outdoor space stays usable well into the evening, even during DFW's long summer nights when the real entertaining happens after 8 PM.

Dark corners, unlit pathways, and shadowed entryways disappear — reducing trip hazards and the hiding spots that make properties easier targets for intruders.

Your security cameras actually capture usable footage at night, instead of grainy darkness that tells you nothing after the fact.

The architectural details and landscaping you've invested in — the oak trees, the stone facade, the front walkway — become visible features instead of invisible ones after sunset.

LED systems add only a few dollars per month to your electric bill while running every night, so you're not trading curb appeal for a higher utility cost.

Professionally installed landscape lighting delivers a 50–70% return on investment, which matters in a DFW market where buyers notice everything about a property before they walk through the door.
