Lighting Fort Worth Properties
From bungalows to estates to office campuses, the toolkit is the same; the design is not.
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
Security and Safety Light
Even, layered light along side yards, gates, garage approaches and dark corners removes hiding spots and trip hazards. It is calmer than a floodlight and keeps the property easy to watch.
02
Craftsman and Prairie Homes
Fort Worth's historic neighborhoods have deep porches, tapered columns and wide eaves. Soft uplight on columns and warm washes under eaves bring that architecture forward at night.
05
Estate Grounds
Larger Fort Worth homes often have long drives, formal gardens, pools and mature trees. We light them as one connected scene, with zones so each area can run on its own schedule.
03
Steps, Walks and Drives
Short bollards, step lights and path fixtures follow the way people really move across the property. Each one is spaced to pool light on the ground, not into anyone's face.
06
Install Without the Mess
Wire is slit in shallow and tucked under mulch, fixtures are staked or mounted firmly, and the transformer goes in a tidy, out-of-sight spot near an outdoor outlet.
A Specialist, Not a General Electrician
Many Fort Worth search results for landscape lighting lead to general electricians and directories. Electricians wire houses well, but landscape lighting is a design discipline.
We start with what the property should look like at night: which trees to feature, how to light the facade, where to keep it dark. Then we choose fixtures, beam spreads and placement to get there. The low-voltage wiring is the easy part; the design is what you see every evening.
Design first, then fixtures and wiring

From First Call to First Night
01
Talk Through Goals
Curb appeal, safer walks, ausable patio, a lit sign, or all of it. What you want from the lighting shapes every choice that follows.
02
Walk the Grounds
We look at trees, beds, walls, walks and the house itself, and note where you sit, park and enter after dark.
03
Design the Layout
You get a fixture plan showing what gets lit, which beam each feature needs and where the transformer and timer will sit.
04
Installation Day
Cable goes in shallow and neat, fixtures are staked or mounted, and the transformer is placed where it is out of sight.
05
Tune and Hand Over
We aim and dim each fixture once it is dark, set the dusk schedule and come back for service when you need it.
Fort Worth Neighborhoods
Fort Worth is large and varied. Here are some of the areas where our designs adapt to the setting.
Tanglewood
Tanglewood's ranch and traditional homes sit on wooded lots near the Trinity River. Uplit oaks, washed brick and stone facades and soft backyard lighting suit these properties, with fixtures shielded toward neighbors. Long backyards often add patio and pool zones as a second phase.
Fairmount
The Fairmount historic district near Magnolia Avenue is full of Craftsman bungalows and Prairie-style homes. Warm, discreet accents on porches, columns and old trees respect the architecture and the close lots. Fixtures are staked in beds, so nothing is attached to original porches, siding or trim.
Stockyards
Businesses near the Fort Worth Stockyards have a distinct western character. Warm lighting on signage, stone, timber and entry trees fits the setting and helps evening visitors find their way. Fixtures are aimed down and shielded to keep glare off busy streets and sidewalks.
Mira Vista
Homes in Mira Vista sit on rolling, golf course lots in southwest Fort Worth. Step lights on grade changes, rear facade washes and patio lighting create a scene that reads from the course and from the street. Fixtures are shielded so golfers and neighbors downhill do not see glare.
Sundance Square and Downtown
Restaurants, offices and residential buildings around Sundance Square need refined lighting on entries, planters and trees. Small, discreet fixtures support the district's evening energy without adding glare. Schedules can follow building hours, with a lower security level running after closing. Fixtures are sized and placed to stay out of the way of foot traffic.
Commercial Grounds Across Fort Worth
Office parks, retail centers, restaurants, churches and HOA entrances all need lighting that is reliable night after night.
We light monument signs, entry walls, specimen trees, planted islands and pedestrian walks, then schedule the system to match operating hours. Fixtures are placed to stay out of the way of maintenance crews, a habit that comes from our parent company's commercial landscape management work since 1978. Certificates of insurance are available before work begins.

Where the Budget Goes
Every proposal is built from the property, and these factors move it most.
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.
Crossing paving and stone
Turf and planting beds are quick to work in. Getting under concrete walks, flagstone patios or brick edging, or setting lights into walls and steps, adds labor that we flag early.

Fort Worth Landscape Lighting FAQ
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
Do you install landscape lighting in Fort Worth?
–
Yes. We design and install landscape lighting for Fort Worth homes and commercial properties, from historic districts like Fairmount to estate neighborhoods like Tanglewood and Mira Vista. Call our office to set up a site visit and talk through the property.
Why hire a lighting company instead of an electrician?
–
Electricians are great for household wiring, but landscape lighting is mostly design: choosing what to light, which beam suits each feature and how to balance light and shadow. Low-voltage systems do not need line-voltage work beyond an outdoor outlet, so a lighting specialist is usually the better fit.
Can you light a historic Fort Worth home?
–
Yes. We use warm, low-intensity fixtures tucked into beds and shrubs, with accents on porches, columns and old trees. Fixtures are staked in the ground rather than attached to original materials, so the home's character is protected. Warm white suits older brick and wood.
What does landscape lighting cost in Fort Worth?
–
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.
Should I choose LED fixtures?
–
For almost every project, yes. LED fixtures use a fraction of the power of old halogen lamps, run cooler, last far longer and offer warm white tones that look natural on stone and plants. Fewer lamp changes also means less upkeep over the life of the system.
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 fixtures hold up to Texas heat, hail and storms?
–
Quality fixtures do. We use commercial-grade LED fixtures with sealed housings, and heavier metal bodies where exposure is worst. Summer heat, spring storms and hail are part of life here, so we place and mount fixtures to stay put and keep working. If something gets damaged, we can come out on a service call.
Is more light always better?
–
No. Good landscape lighting uses contrast. A few well-placed fixtures on the right trees and the entry look better than an evenly lit yard. We light what deserves attention, let other areas fall into shadow and keep the overall scene calm and warm.
