What We Light Around Addison
Small lots and busy frontage mean every fixture has to earn its place.
01
Canopy and Moonlighting
Soft downlights mounted high in mature trees let light filter through the leaves onto lawn and walks below. It reads like moonlight and keeps big yards from going black at night.
04
Facade and Architecture
Wash lights and grazing fixtures bring out stone, brick, columns and gables. The house keeps its daytime character at night, and the entry becomes the clear center of the view.
02
Townhome Courtyards
Narrow side yards and walled courtyards are common near Addison Circle. A few step lights, one tree accent and a soft wall wash make a tight space feel calm and finished at night.
05
Restaurant Patios and Entries
Belt Line Road diners arrive after dark. Lit entries, planters and patio edges help guests find the door and make the outdoor seating look open and welcoming from the street.
03
Path and Walkway Lights
Low path fixtures mark the route from driveway to front door, along garden beds and out to the back gate. Guests see every step and edge without bright spots in their eyes.
06
Business and HOA Properties
Monument signs, entry walls, common-area trees and walkways for offices, shopping centers and neighborhood associations, planned so the property looks cared for every night of the year.
Low-Voltage LED, Explained Simply
A landscape system starts at a transformer that plugs into an outdoor outlet and steps household power down to about 12 volts. From there, cable runs a few inches under turf or mulch to each fixture.
That low voltage is why the system is safe around sprinklers and pets, and why fixtures can move as your plantings change. LED fixtures sip power, run cool and come in warm white tones that suit Addison's brick and stone.

Request a Visit
Call the office at 972-620-9560, Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, and we set a time to walk your Addison property with you.
02
Site Survey
A designer measures runs, finds outdoor power, checks irrigation heads and photographs the features worth lighting in Addison.
03
Pick the Fixtures
Uplights, path lights, washes and downlights are matched to each feature, with warm white color chosen to suit the stone and plants.
04
Install and Aim
Our insured crew sets fixtures, runs shallow low-voltage cable and aims every light, then checks the whole system once it is dark.
05
Night Check
After dusk we fine-tune angles and brightness so nothing glares, then hand over timer or app control before we leave.
Lighting Addison's Neighborhoods and Districts
Addison mixes dense mixed-use blocks with quiet, tree-lined streets. The lighting plan changes with the setting, and we design for how each area is seen and used at night.
Les Lacs
Mature trees and the ponds of Les Lacs Park give this part of town a soft, wooded feel. Uplit trunks, moonlighting in large canopies and gentle path light suit these homes better than bright, even coverage. Paths along the water and shaded side yards get low, warm fixtures so evening walks feel safe.
Vitruvian Park
The newer streets and green space around Vitruvian Park favor clean architecture. Narrow-beam grazing on walls, lit plantings at entries and low path lights fit the crisp, modern look of the area. Fixtures are placed so the clean lines of the buildings stay the hero, with no stray hot spots.
Midway Road Corridor
Office and flex buildings near Addison Airport and Midway Road benefit from steady, low-glare light on signage, entries and parking edges, scheduled to match the hours the property is in use. Simple photocell or timer control keeps these systems reliable with almost no attention from staff.
Addison Circle
Townhomes and mid-rise buildings sit close to the street around Addison Circle Park. Lighting here focuses on entries, stoops, planters and small courtyards, with fixtures shielded so light stays out of neighboring windows. Small-scale fixtures in brass or dark bronze blend into tight planting beds and disappear during the day.
Belt Line Road
Restaurants, retail and offices line Belt Line Road. Lit monument signs, entry trees and walkways help businesses stand out in heavy evening traffic and make parking-to-door walks feel safe. Restaurant patios can run on their own zone so they glow only during service hours.
Patios Built for Addison Evenings
Addison is a dining-out town, and plenty of residents want that same feel at home. A lit patio, pergola or pool deck turns warm evenings into usable hours.
We place downlights in pergolas and eaves, step lights on stairs and accents on nearby plantings, then set the schedule so the space glows on cue. Our landscape lighting line is NTD, Nite Time Decor, and it pairs well with string lighting for patios.

What Drives a Lighting Proposal
We do not quote from a chart; these are the things we measure on site.
Number of fixtures
Fixture count is the biggest driver. A front yard with a few trees and a walk needs far fewer lights than a full property with backyard, side yards, patio and pool all in the plan.
Zones and app control
Splitting front, back and patio into separate zones lets you run each on its own schedule. Smart controllers and app access add to the hardware list and the setup work.
Fixture material
Solid brass and copper fixtures weather in and last outdoors for many years. Lighter aluminum bodies cost less up front. We explain the tradeoff and match material to where each fixture sits.
Tree height and mounting
Uplighting from the ground is straightforward. Mounting downlights high in a tall oak for a moonlight effect takes climbing, careful strapping and more time on site.
Wire runs and distance
Long runs to a back fence line, a far tree or a detached structure add cable and labor. Grouping fixtures into smart circuits keeps wire lengths and voltage drop under control.

Addison Landscape Lighting FAQ
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
Can you light a small townhome yard in Addison?
–
Yes. Small yards often look better with fewer, well-aimed fixtures than with many. One tree accent, a couple of path lights and a soft wash on the entry can be enough. We keep beams shielded so light stays on your property and out of your neighbors' windows.
Do you light restaurants and retail along Belt Line Road?
–
Yes. We light entries, signs, planters, trees and patio edges for restaurants, shops and offices in Addison. The design focuses on visibility from the road and a safe, inviting walk from parking to the door, on a schedule that matches your business hours.
What happens if a fixture stops working?
–
Call the office and we schedule a service call. Most issues are a fixture that has been bumped, buried in mulch or damaged by weather, and they are quick to fix. We also check the transformer and connections so the rest of the system keeps running.
What does landscape lighting cost in Addison?
–
It depends on the property, so we do not quote a flat number. Fixture count, fixture material, transformer size, wire distance, hardscape crossings and the control system set the cost. After a site visit you get a written proposal with each of those factors spelled out, so you can trim or add scope with clear numbers in front of you.
What is the difference between low-voltage and line-voltage lighting?
–
Line voltage runs at full household current and needs conduit, deep trenching and an electrician for every change. Low voltage, usually around 12 volts, runs through a transformer, so cable can sit shallow and fixtures are easy to move as the landscape grows. For homes and most commercial grounds, low voltage is the practical choice.
Will installation tear up my lawn or beds?
–
No. Low-voltage cable is laid a few inches deep using a narrow slit in turf, or tucked under mulch in beds, so there is no wide trench. We work around roots, irrigation lines and plantings, and the cut in the grass closes up quickly. Most clients cannot find the wire path a week later.
Can different areas run on different schedules?
–
Yes. We can split the system into zones, such as the front facade, the backyard trees and the patio, and run each on its own schedule. Smart controllers make that simple from your phone, while timers handle it automatically for owners who prefer to set it once.
What is NTD?
–
NTD, short for Nite Time Decor, is the name of our landscape lighting line. It is the year-round side of Christmas Decor by Carruthers Decorative Lighting, run from the same Dallas office on Goodnight Lane with the same design and install team.
Does landscape lighting work with commercial holiday displays?
–
It can. For commercial and HOA properties in Addison, our Christmas Decor holiday team can plan seasonal lighting around the landscape system, sharing knowledge of power locations, trees and entries. One company, one call, from summer evenings through the December season.
