Landscape Lighting in Greater St. Louis
Landscape accent lighting uses low-voltage brass fixtures to light trees, planting beds, and stone after dark. We design in warm tones, aim every fixture by hand at night, and hide the hardware in the landscape, so you see the property, not the lights. It pairs naturally with permanent roofline lighting.
What we light
- Mature trees, uplit so the canopy glows instead of disappearing at dusk
- Planting beds and ornamentals, grazed with soft pools of warm light
- Front facades and entry features that anchor the whole composition
- Stone, brick, and retaining walls, where light pulls the texture forward
- Architectural corners and columns that frame the home from the street
Why brass fixtures matter
Landscape fixtures live in dirt, mulch, sprinkler spray, and Missouri weather. Big box fixtures are built to a price, and it shows within a season or two: faded housings, corroded sockets, lights leaning at odd angles. Brass is built to stay outside. It weathers to a patina instead of breaking down, which is why it is the standard in professional landscape lighting.
Designed at night, not from a catalog
The difference between landscape lighting that looks expensive and landscape lighting that looks like dots in the yard is the aiming. We set and adjust fixtures at night, on site, checking the view from the street, the driveway, and your front porch. Glare gets shielded, hot spots get softened, and the layers get balanced so the whole property reads as one design.
Landscape Lighting Questions
Will landscape lighting raise my electric bill?
Not by much. Modern systems run low-voltage LED fixtures that draw a fraction of the power of the older halogen setups most people remember. Exact usage depends on fixture count and run times, and we walk through both during your design visit so there are no surprises.
Can you add to landscape lighting I already have?
Usually, yes. We can often expand or rework an existing low-voltage system, replace failing fixtures with brass, and bring the design up to the standard of the rest of the property. We assess what is worth keeping during the free design visit and quote it straight.
What color temperature do you install?
Most of our landscape designs run warm, in the 2700K range, because it flatters brick, stone, and plantings and feels like an established neighborhood instead of a parking lot. If a specific area calls for something different, we will show you the options at the design visit.
