What We Light in North Richland Hills
Every system is low-voltage LED, sold and installed under NTD (Nite Time Decor), our landscape lighting line.
01
Moonlighting from above
Downlights mounted high in a large tree cast dappled, moonlike shadows across the lawn and patio below. It suits big North Richland Hills shade trees and feels natural rather than staged.
04
Ponds and water features
Submersible fixtures and nearby uplights bring fountains, ponds and pool edges to life at night, with sealed connections chosen for wet locations and cable hidden under nearby beds.
02
Lit routes to the door
Drive, front walk, side gate and back steps get low fixtures that light the ground, not people's eyes. Guests find the entry and footing stays sure on uneven pavers.
05
Commercial grounds
Office parks, retail centers, medical buildings and churches in North Richland Hills get monument signs, entry drives and planted islands lit for safety and a clear first impression.
03
Outdoor rooms
Kitchens, fire pits and covered patios get task light where you cook and low, warm light where you sit, so evenings outside in North Richland Hills last longer.
06
A plan before any digging
You see the layout first: what gets lit, which fixture does it, where the cable runs and where the transformer mounts. Nothing is placed by guesswork.
Built for North Texas Conditions
North Texas is hard on outdoor gear. Summer heat, spring hail, heavy storms and expanding clay soil all work against fixtures and wiring.
We set fixtures on sturdy stakes or mounts, leave slack in cable runs so shifting soil does not pull connections apart, and use sealed connectors rated for wet ground. Fixtures are placed with room for trees and shrubs to grow, so the North Richland Hills design still works a few seasons from now instead of disappearing behind new growth.

04
Clean install
The crew works around irrigation heads, roots and beds, and leaves the North Richland Hills yard looking the way they found it.

Service later
As plants grow we re-aim fixtures, clean lenses and swap failed parts on systems we installed, keeping the design as sharp as day one.
Lighting North Richland Hills
North Richland Hills, or NRH, has established neighborhoods with mature trees, newer homes in the northern part of the city and busy commercial roads like Rufe Snow Drive and Boulevard 26. Back yards with pools and patios are common, and many sit dark after sunset.
Rufe Snow Drive
Shops, restaurants and offices along Rufe Snow Drive see steady evening traffic. Lit signs and entry beds help a property stand out, and path light makes the lot feel safer to cross. Curbed islands keep fixtures out of the way of carts and mowers, so they keep working.
Near Iron Horse Golf Course
Homes near Iron Horse and other green spaces often have big trees and long views. Moonlighting and fence-line uplights add depth without spilling light onto the course. Fixtures are aimed back toward the house, so golfers and neighbors see a soft glow instead of glare, and the open view stays dark.
Boulevard 26 and Loop 820
Commercial properties on Boulevard 26 and NE Loop 820 benefit from dependable sign and facade lighting that runs on a photocell and timer every night. Durable fixtures and sealed connections help the system hold up to heat, wind and dust from heavy traffic, with fewer service calls during the year.
Smithfield area
Neighborhoods around the Smithfield area mix older homes with newer builds. Facade wash, path lights and a few uplit trees fit both, and can be expanded as landscaping grows. Older halogen fixtures in this part of the city can often be converted to LED, cutting power use and bulb changes.
Year-Round Light, Plus the Holidays
For businesses, HOAs and property managers in North Richland Hills, we pair landscape lighting with commercial holiday lighting and décor.
The landscape fixtures light entries, signs and plantings all year. When the season comes, our crew adds leased commercial-grade LED holiday lighting, wreaths and garland, services it through the season, then takes it down and stores it afterward. One insured vendor, one point of contact and certificates of insurance ready for your file.

Cost Factors to Know
Here is what changes the number from one property to the next.
Number of fixtures
Fixture count is the biggest single driver. Lighting the front walk and two trees is a small project; wrapping the whole lot with path, accent and patio light is several times larger.
Timer, photocell or app
A basic photocell and timer is the most economical. App control and separate zones cost more but let you schedule trees, paths and patio independently.
Mounting in trees
Downlights placed high in a canopy need careful mounting that protects the tree. Tree height and the number of mounting points both affect labor and time on site.
Transformer and wiring
Total wattage sets transformer size, and long distances from the outlet to far corners of the yard add cable. Large lots and multiple zones need more of both.
Fixture quality
Solid brass and copper last longer outdoors than painted aluminum but cost more at the start. We match material to how exposed each fixture will be.

North Richland Hills Landscape Lighting FAQ
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
How is a landscape lighting project priced?
–
We price from the property, not a package. Fixture count drives most of the cost, followed by materials, transformer size, cable distance and installation conditions like rock or hardscape. After a site visit you get a written proposal with those factors laid out, and you can scale the first phase to fit your plans.
Can you light the pool and patio in an NRH back yard?
–
Yes. We use step lights on pool edges and decks, downlights on patio covers and pergolas and uplights on nearby trees, all with sealed, wet-rated connections. The goal is safe footing and a relaxed look without glare off the water. A separate zone lets you light the pool only when you are outside.
Do you have to dig trenches across the yard?
–
Not in the way most people picture. Cable runs in a narrow slit a few inches deep or under existing mulch. Where we need to cross a driveway or walk, we plan the route during the site visit and explain it in the proposal before any work starts.
Can I control the lights from my phone?
–
Yes, with app-based control. You can set schedules, change zones and turn lights on for a party or off for travel from your phone. Simpler systems use a photocell that turns lights on at dusk and a timer that turns them off at an hour you choose.
Do fixtures hold up to Texas heat, hail and storms?
–
Quality fixtures do. We use sealed connectors rated for wet ground, set fixtures on sturdy stakes and mounts and leave cable slack so shifting clay soil does not pull wires apart. After a big storm, a quick service visit can straighten or re-aim anything that moved.
Do you light businesses on Rufe Snow Drive?
–
Yes. We light commercial properties throughout North Richland Hills, including signs, entry beds, walkways and building faces. Our insured crew can provide certificates of insurance and schedule work around business hours. Fixtures sit inside curbed beds, protected from carts and mowers, so they keep working.
Can you light large oak trees?
–
Yes. Big oaks can be uplit from the ground to show the trunk and canopy, moonlit from fixtures mounted high in the branches, or both. Moonlighting casts soft shadow patterns across the lawn and is one of the most natural effects in landscape lighting.
How do I keep the system looking its sharpest?
–
Trim plants away from fixtures, keep mulch off lenses and let us know when a light goes dark. Once or twice a year, a service visit to clean, re-aim, tighten connections and adjust the timer keeps the design balanced as your landscape grows.
Are you insured?
–
Yes. We carry liability insurance and workers' compensation and can send certificates of insurance to homeowners, property managers and HOA boards. Our parent company, Carruthers Landscape Management, is a Dallas family business founded in 1978 that has managed commercial landscapes across Dallas-Fort Worth ever since.
