Outdoor and landscape lighting in San Diego.
San Diego homes spend half their life outdoors. Path lights that frame a walkway, uplights that turn a palm into a landmark, and security floods at the right places change how a home feels and how safe it is. We design and install, line-voltage and low-voltage both, with weather-rated wire and fixtures that last.

What do homeowners ask about Landscape Lighting Installation?
How much does landscape lighting cost in San Diego?
A typical front-yard package (transformer, 8 path lights, 2 uplights, control timer) runs $1,400 to $2,400 installed. Larger systems with 20+ fixtures and multiple zones run $3,500 to $5,500+. Per-fixture add-ons run $145 to $325 each. Free design walkthrough.
Should I do line-voltage or low-voltage outdoor lighting?
Low-voltage (12V) is the standard for landscape lighting: safer to work near, easier to expand, and the fixture options are far better. Line-voltage (120V) is used for floodlights, exterior outlets, and structural lighting. Most installs use both for the right purposes.
How long do landscape lights last?
Quality LED low-voltage fixtures last 10–15 years. Cheap big-box fixtures last 2–4 years before lens fogging or LED failure. The pros we send install brands that hold up (FX Luminaire, Kichler, Vista) at fair pricing.
Can you install pool or spa lighting?
Yes. Pool and spa lighting must be installed by a licensed electrician and meet specific NEC requirements for bonding, GFCI, and equipotential grounding. We follow code and pull the permit when one is required.
Can the lighting be on a smart timer?
Yes. Most systems use astronomical clocks that adjust on/off times to actual sunrise and sunset year-round. Lutron Caseta and Hampton Bay app-based timers are also options. We pick based on what fits the rest of your home.
Do you repair existing landscape lighting systems?
Yes, repair calls are as common as new installs. The usual failures: a transformer that died, a cut or corroded low-voltage run, fixtures flickering from bad connections, or a whole zone that stopped coming on. Troubleshooting starts at the transformer and walks the runs. Most systems are fixable without replacing everything.
Do you supply the light fixtures, or do I buy my own?
Either works. The pros we connect you with can supply contractor-grade brass or aluminum fixtures, which outlast the big-box plastic ones in coastal air, or install fixtures you've already purchased. If you're buying your own, ask before you order: matching the fixture voltage to the existing transformer saves a return trip.
