What's included

What this service includes.

Lighting design

A plan for what deserves light and what deserves dark — restraint is what separates a lit garden from a runway.

Path and step lighting

Safe footing on every route through the property, with fixtures placed low and glare kept out of your eyes.

Accent and uplighting

Trees, walls, and features given shape after dark — the view from the kitchen window, improved.

Our process

How it comes together.

1

Free lighting walk

Ideally at dusk — we walk the property and talk through what to light, what to leave dark, and why.

2

Design and quote

A fixture plan and an honest written number, sized to the transformer the system actually needs.

3

Install clean

Low voltage lines buried tidy, fixtures set, connections sealed against Sonoma winters.

4

Aim it after dark

Every fixture gets aimed at night — because that's the only time aiming counts.

Common questions

Outdoor lighting, answered.

Is low voltage lighting safe around kids and pets?
Yes. Low voltage systems run well below household current, which is why they're the standard for landscape lighting.
Will it drive up my power bill?
LED fixtures draw very little. A fully lit yard typically costs a few dollars a month to run.
Can you add to a system I already have?
Usually. We check the transformer capacity and the condition of the existing wire first, then extend it if there's room.
What about lights that have stopped working?
We repair existing systems too, whoever installed them originally.
The best way to plan lighting is to walk the yard at dusk. We'll bring the ideas. Get a free estimate
