Landscape lighting · Danvers & the North Shore

Lighting that lets you use the yard after dark.

Path and step lights so nobody trips, soft light on the patio and kitchen, and a few trees lit up so the yard looks good from inside. Low-voltage LED, on a timer.

01What we light

Safety first, then the good stuff.

Good landscape lighting is mostly about restraint: light the steps and paths so they're safe, then pick a few things worth seeing at night. It shouldn't look like a runway.

  • Brick courtyard at night with low lights along the planting beds

    Paths & steps

    Low path lights and lights built into steps and walls, so every change in level is easy to see.

  • Young trees and boxwoods lit from below along a brick wall at night

    Trees & accents

    Uplights on trees and plantings that give the yard depth after dark.

  • Planting bed with white flowers lit at night

    Garden beds

    Soft light across beds and borders so the plantings show from the patio and the house.

  • Outdoor kitchen with lit drawers under a TV

    Patios & kitchens

    Under-cap and under-counter lights on seat walls, grill islands and bars.

02Planned, not scattered

Best installed while the stonework goes in.

The easiest time to add lighting is while the patio, walk or wall is being built, because the wire can run under the pavers and through the walls. We can add it to existing yards too.

Low-voltage LED
Safe to run through the yard, and it doesn't use much power.
Wire under the work
Run beneath pavers and through walls during construction, so you never see it.
Timers & zones
On at dusk, off when you want, with separate zones for paths and accents.
No glare
Fixtures aimed so they light the yard, not your eyes or the neighbor's windows.

How a lighting project goes.

  1. Step one

    We walk the yard with you

    Grade, drainage, access, sun, how you want to use the space. We measure while we're there.

  2. Step two

    You get a written quote

    Materials, layout and price in plain terms, with options if you want to phase the work.

  3. Step three

    We build it and clean up

    Excavation to final sweep. We haul debris away and leave the lawn around it seeded.

Questions

What people ask about landscape lighting.

Something else on your mind? Call 617-686-0468.

Can you add lighting to an existing patio or walk?

Yes. Wire can be run along edges, through beds and under some pavers. It's easier during construction, but most yards can be lit after the fact.

Is low-voltage lighting safe?

Yes. The system runs off a transformer that plugs into an outdoor outlet and steps the power down, which is why it can run through the yard.

Can the lights come on by themselves?

Yes. A timer or dusk sensor turns them on at night and off when you choose.

Do you light outdoor kitchens?

Yes. Under-counter and under-cap lights are built in while the island is being made. Outdoor kitchens →
