Houston Landscape Lighting Done Differently
Good outdoor lighting is more than looks. It is an investment in safety and value. The American Society of Landscape Architects reports that professional landscaping can raise home value by 15% to 20%. We start with an on-site review of your terrain, drainage, and the features you want to show off. Then we plan a low-voltage lighting layout that fits your property. No off-the-shelf kits, just a setup our Houston-based crew designs for your home.
We handle the whole project in-house, from the first plan to the last fixture. That keeps communication clear, cuts down on delays, and gives you steady quality. The result is a landscape lighting system that looks good, works for how you live, and adds value to your property.
"HLI lit up our front yard and walkway, and now the house looks amazing at night. The install only took a couple of days."

HLI's Landscape Lighting Process
- 01
Initial Consultation
We start by talking through your goals and budget. What do you want to light up at night? Walkways, trees, the front of the house, a patio? We look at your yard and note the spots that matter most so your lighting plan fits how you use the space.
- 02
Site Analysis & Design Development
Next we map out fixture spots, wiring runs, and transformer placement. We check drainage and Houston's heavy clay soil so wires and lights hold up to wet conditions. We also factor in any HOA rules, for example fixture height or brightness. You get a layout that is safe, even, and easy on the eyes.
- 03
Budgeting and Cost Estimation
Before we start, we give you a clear, itemized estimate. You see the cost of fixtures, wiring, and labor up front, so the project fits your budget with no surprises.
- 04
Installation and Final Walkthrough
Our crew installs the fixtures, runs the wiring, and sets your timers or controls. After dark, we walk the property with you to aim each light just right. We show you how to care for the system so it keeps working for years.
HLI's Landscape Lighting Options
Landscape Lighting Installation
We design and install full outdoor lighting systems that add safety, show off key features, and let you use your yard after dark. Every setup uses weather-rated fixtures and clean, buried wiring. We build the lighting layout around your home and how you spend time outside.
- Includes design, fixture placement, and wiring installation
- Boosts nighttime visibility and curb appeal
- Built to last with low-voltage, energy-efficient fixtures
Path & Walkway Lighting
We place low-profile path lights along walkways, driveways, and sidewalks to guide foot traffic and mark the edges. These lights add safety and a soft glow. We space the fixtures evenly and aim them to avoid glare.
- Lights up walkways and helps prevent trip and fall hazards
- Low-voltage path lights set along edges or curves
- Many styles and finishes to match your landscape design
Uplighting & Accent Lighting
We use uplights to show off trees, the front of your house, signs, or yard features. Uplighting adds depth and drama after dark. We set and angle each light to create a clear focal point without washing out the rest of the yard.
- Placed at the base of trees, columns, or features
- Adds contrast and draws the eye to key spots
- Available in warm, cool, or color-changing LED options
Step & Deck Lighting
We install lights on pergolas, deck posts, stair risers, and step edges to make outdoor living areas safer and warmer. These fixtures help prevent slips on stairs and give your space a cozy feel at night.
- Mounted to decks, stairs, or retaining walls
- Improves safety for nighttime get-togethers
- Options include recessed, surface-mount, or strip lighting
Garden & Plant Bed Lighting
We add soft lighting around plant beds to bring out texture, blooms, and shape. We angle these fixtures to layer the light without washing out the plants. It is a great way to show off seasonal color or soften the edges of a bed at night.
- Brings out depth and color in flower beds and foliage
- Low-glare fixtures for a soft, natural look
- Pairs well with path and patio lighting layouts
Smart Lighting Controls & Timers
We set up smart lighting controls so you can schedule your lights, run them from your phone, or turn them on with motion. This makes it easy to manage your lighting and save energy. We can add timers and sensors to any low-voltage setup.
- Control lights from your phone, a timer, or a motion sensor
- Saves energy and handles evening routines for you
- Works with most low-voltage LED systems
Lighting Maintenance & Upgrades
We maintain and upgrade landscape lighting systems to keep them working and looking great. That includes bulb swaps, wire repair, and LED retrofits. Regular care keeps your system energy-efficient and reliable, even through Houston's wet weather.
- Troubleshooting and repair of low-voltage lighting systems
- Bulb replacement and fixture adjustments
- Upgrade older path lights or full systems to long-lasting LED
