What Landscape Lighting Does

Good landscape lighting adds depth after dark. Trees stand out, stone gains texture, and walkways feel warm and intentional.

We use FX Luminaire low-voltage LED systems with solid brass and copper fixtures. They are designed for year-round outdoor service and backed by manufacturer warranty coverage under the applicable terms.

Every project starts with a free on-site consultation and a clear written proposal.

Start with the right layer

Types of Landscape Lighting We Install

Most homes need a thoughtful mix of these three. We design them as one system so the property feels balanced from every angle.

Landscape Lighting Techniques We Use

Great landscape lighting layers several techniques so the property feels balanced, not overlit.

Uplighting completed project

Uplighting

Uplighting is the backbone of landscape lighting design. A fixture hidden at the base of a mature oak or a stone column throws light upward, revealing bark texture, branch structure, and canopy that simply vanish after sunset. It adds vertical drama. Your property reads taller, deeper, and more established at night.

Best for:

Mature treesColumns & facadesSpecimen plantingsChimneys & gables

Pro tip: The magic is in the aim. We return after dark to fine-tune every beam angle so the light lands exactly where it should. The light should never reach your eyes.

Moonlighting completed project

Moonlighting

Moonlighting is the most natural effect in outdoor lighting. Guests often notice it without knowing why. Fixtures mounted 25 to 40 feet up in a mature tree cast soft light through the branches, creating dappled shadows across the lawn like a full moon. It is subtle and very different from the flat look of floodlights.

Best for:

Large oaks & maplesSeating areasLawns & play areasWalkway canopies

Pro tip: We use full-cutoff fixtures with long shrouds aimed through the canopy. You see moonlit ground, never the source.

Downlighting completed project

Downlighting

Mounted on eaves, pergolas, or walls, downlights wash gentle light over entries, garden beds, steps, and terraces. Because the light comes from above, it feels natural and flattering, with none of the glare of ground-level floods.

Best for:

Entries & terracesGarden bedsEntrywaysSteps & terraces

Pro tip: Layering downlight over uplight creates a designed system. We balance both on every project.

Silhouetting completed project

Silhouetting

Silhouetting changes the way light is used. The fixture hides behind the subject and washes the wall behind it. An ornamental grass, Japanese maple, or sculpture becomes a crisp dark shape against a glowing backdrop.

Best for:

Japanese maplesOrnamental grassesSculptures & urnsCourtyard walls

Pro tip: Best against a light-colored wall or fence within a few feet of the plant. We scout these opportunities during the dusk walk.

Grazing completed project

Grazing

Grazing places light inches from a textured surface and skims it across at a steep angle. Every ridge of stacked stone, joint of brick, and ripple of stucco throws a tiny shadow. The wall you walk past daily becomes a striking feature at night.

Best for:

Stacked stone wallsBrick facadesStone chimneysTextured stucco

Pro tip: Smooth surfaces want washing. Textured surfaces want grazing. Using the wrong technique flattens the effect. It is a detail many DIY installs miss.

Path Lighting completed project

Path Lighting

Path lighting is hospitality made visible. Overlapping pools of warm light guide family and guests from driveway to door without a dark gap. Done well, it is staggered instead of runway-straight, with solid brass fixtures that look good day and night.

Best for:

Front walkwaysGarden pathsDriveway edgesPool surrounds

Pro tip: The amateur tell is fixtures in a straight line every six feet. We stagger placements and vary spacing with the landscape so it feels organic.

Landscape Lighting FAQ

How much does a landscape lighting installation cost on Long Island?

Most residential projects range from $3,500 to $25,000+ depending on fixture count, transformer size, and design complexity. We provide a free on-site consultation and written proposal.

Why can your prices be higher?

We use FX Luminaire professional fixtures instead of basic builder-grade products. They offer better optics and durable construction, and many systems can serve for 10 to 20 years with proper care. Eligible products include manufacturer warranty coverage under the applicable terms. Your price also includes custom design, wiring, beam aiming, and support.

How long does landscape lighting last?

FX Luminaire brass and copper LED systems can serve for 10 to 20 years with routine maintenance. LED lamps can provide many years of nightly use, depending on the product and operating conditions.

Do landscape lights need to be installed by an electrician?

The lighting runs use safe 12V low voltage. A licensed electrician may be needed for the GFCI outlet that powers the transformer. We coordinate that step.

Will landscape lighting work in winter on Long Island?

Yes. Weatherproof fixtures, direct-burial wire, and outdoor-rated transformers are built for year-round use. Fall service helps keep beams aimed and connections clear.

Can I add landscape lighting to an existing home without tearing up the yard?

Yes. Low-voltage wire is buried only 4 to 6 inches deep with narrow trenching. Most installations cause little visible disruption.
