QUICK ANSWER
Colleyville landscape lighting is a custom low-voltage LED design for larger homes and wooded lots. It layers tree uplighting, moonlighting, facade washes, path light and pool or patio lighting into one scene. We walk the property, draw a plan, install cleanly around roots and beds and provide service as the landscape grows.

Lighting a Colleyville Estate
Larger lots let us build a full scene, front to back.
01
Uplighting Trees
Fixtures at the base of live oaks, cedar elms and red oaks throw light up through the canopy. Bark texture and branch shape become the focal point after dark, with no glare toward the street.
04
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.
02
Long Front Lawns
Many Colleyville homes sit well back from the street. Lighting the trees along the approach and the facade at the end creates depth that draws the eye from the road to the door.
05
Pools and Outdoor Rooms
Backyards here often include pools, cabanas, fire features and outdoor kitchens. Layered downlight, accents on plantings and soft pool-edge light make the space feel like an outdoor room at night.
03
Architectural Accent Light
We pick out the features that make a building worth a second look: a turret, arched windows, a stone chimney or a long brick wall, using narrow and wide beams in warm white.
06
Water and Hardscape Accents
Light set into or beside retaining walls, seat walls, fountains and planters shows off stonework and water at night, tying the patio and garden together into one scene.
Fixtures That Match the Home
On a custom home, fixture quality shows. Solid brass and copper bodies hold up to heat, sprinklers and mowers, and they weather into a soft patina that blends into beds.
We specify commercial-grade LED fixtures by location: heavier metal where exposure is high, discreet designs near the house, and wide or narrow beams chosen for each feature. Warm white light around 2700K flatters stone, stucco and mature foliage. The fixtures should look as good up close in daylight as the lighting does at night.

Colleyville Neighborhoods We Design For
Colleyville's lots tend to be large, its trees mature and its homes custom. Here is how that plays out in a few parts of town.
Glade Road
Homes along Glade Road often sit on deep, heavily treed lots. Moonlighting from mature oaks, uplit trunks along the drive and a layered facade make these properties glow without feeling overlit. Long drives get spaced path lights or uplit trees so arrivals feel welcoming and safe.
Village at Colleyville
Shops and offices around the Village at Colleyville benefit from warm lighting on entries, planters and trees that suits the area's character and keeps sidewalks comfortable for evening visitors. Schedules can match store hours, with a lower security level running after closing.
Colleyville Boulevard
Businesses on Colleyville Boulevard, State Highway 26, need tasteful frontage. Lit signage, entry plantings and walkways match the town's upscale look while keeping the property easy to spot. Fixtures are aimed down and shielded to avoid glare toward the boulevard's traffic.
Near Colleyville Nature Center
Homes near the Colleyville Nature Center sit among woods and water. Soft, shielded fixtures light paths and patios while leaving the natural surroundings dark, which keeps views clear. Low step lights on sloped yards and paths toward the water add safety on dark evenings.
Moonlighting Big Oaks
Some Colleyville lots hold oaks that have been growing for generations. They deserve more than a single uplight.
We combine trunk uplighting with downlights mounted high in the canopy, so light falls through the leaves and casts soft shadows across the lawn and patio. Mounts are strapped to allow growth and checked during service calls. Our landscape lighting line is NTD, Nite Time Decor, and moonlighting is one of its signature techniques.

What Shapes the Cost in Colleyville
Here is what moves a landscape lighting proposal up or down.
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.
Building in stages
You do not have to light everything at once. A phased plan spreads the work out, and sizing power for the final design keeps the second phase from redoing the first.
Power supply size
The transformer converts household current to safe low voltage. Its capacity, and whether a second unit is needed for a distant part of the yard, is set by fixture count and wire length.
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.
Hardscape and surfaces
Running cable under a driveway, through a stone patio or along a retaining wall takes more work than tucking it under mulch. Built-in step and wall lights also add install time.

Do you light large estate properties in Colleyville?
–
Yes. Larger lots let us light the approach, the facade, specimen trees, the pool and outdoor living spaces as one design. We plan circuits and transformers for long runs and can split the system into zones so each area runs on its own schedule.
Can you light my pool and cabana area?
–
Yes. We add downlight from eaves and pergolas, accents on surrounding plantings and soft light around the deck, keeping glare off the water. Pool lighting and landscape lighting can run on separate zones so you can set the mood for each.
Do you offer brass and copper fixtures?
–
Yes. We specify solid brass and copper in exposed locations where durability matters, and they age into a natural patina. In protected areas other materials can work. We explain each choice in the proposal so you know where your budget is going.
How is a landscape lighting project priced?
–
We price from the site, not a menu. The proposal is built from how many fixtures the design needs, what they are made of, how far the wire runs, whether we cross paving, and whether you want a simple timer or app control with zones. Many owners start with the front yard and add the back later.
How soon can the lights be on?
–
After the site visit and your approval of the layout, we book an install date. Typical homes take a day or two of crew time, and we finish by aiming fixtures after dark. Spring and early fall fill up quickly, so planning ahead keeps your project on the calendar you want.
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.
Do I need HOA approval for landscape lighting?
–
Many Colleyville neighborhoods have an HOA, and some ask owners to submit exterior changes. Low-voltage landscape lighting is usually simple to approve, especially warm white light aimed away from the street and neighbors. We can give you a layout and fixture details to include with your request.
My old landscape lights barely work. Can you help?
–
Usually. Dim or dead fixtures often come down to a failing transformer, corroded connections, buried lenses or voltage drop on long runs. We test the system, explain what we find and recommend a repair, an LED upgrade or a new layout, depending on its condition.
