Lighting that comes alive at dusk.

A landscape is two designs - the one you see by daylight and the one that emerges after the sun drops. Lighting is what makes the second one real. We design lighting as a discipline of its own, treated as carefully as the planting, the pool, the hardscape. As an authorized Coastal Source dealer and certified installer, we build with weather-sealed fixtures engineered to hold their finish through the salt air, humidity, and hurricane seasons of coastal Florida.

What we design.

Path & accent lighting

Low-profile path lights, downlight washes from canopies, accent wash on architectural features. Designed to highlight, never to glare.

Specimen uplighting

Mature trees, palms, banyans, and feature plantings uplit from below. Light comes from where the eye does not expect it.

Pool & underwater

Color-tunable LED submersibles, fiber-optic accents, niche-mounted floods. Pool lighting designed in concert with the custom pool design itself.

Fire-feature integration

Lighting around fire features that complements, never competes. Halo lighting under fire bowls, soft accent wash on adjacent surrounds.

Smart-home integration

We design and install the lighting, not the control system. Schedule-based, scene-based or app-controlled programming is handled by whoever manages your platform, and we hand off clean, properly zoned circuits for them to work with.

1980s Renovation - landscape lighting with lanterns at night

Built for the coast.

Outdoor lighting in Southwest Florida lives a hard life. Salt air corrodes standard fixtures in a season or two, summer storms flood junction points, and irrigation hits everything twice a day. It is why so much landscape lighting in Naples looks tired three years in.

We install marine-grade brass and copper fixtures as an authorized Coastal Source dealer and certified installer - fully weather-sealed connections engineered for exactly this climate. Low-voltage LED across the system means safe wiring near pools and plantings, a fraction of the energy draw, and lamps that run for years instead of seasons. The same platform carries discreet landscape audio, so light and sound are designed as one system rather than bolted on separately.

Architectural & facade lighting

Uplighting the home itself: columns, texture, rooflines. Architectural lighting is the difference between a house that disappears at 7pm and one that holds its presence all evening.

Hardscape, steps & driveway lighting

Integrated hardscape lights set into seat walls, step risers and borders, and driveway lighting that reads as a warm line of welcome rather than a runway. Safety where feet land, atmosphere everywhere else.

Designed as one composition

We light the property the way we design it: as a whole. Layers are balanced so the pool, the trees, the architecture and the outdoor rooms share one visual temperature instead of competing. Circuits are zoned by scene, so the everyday setting, the entertaining setting and the away setting each look intentional.

Maintained, not abandoned

Landscapes grow. We offer ongoing maintenance for re-aiming as canopies fill in, transformer servicing, and fixture care, so the design still looks designed in year five.

Common questions.

What outdoor lighting systems do you install?

We are an authorized Coastal Source dealer and certified installer - fully weather-sealed, marine-grade fixtures and one of the most durable outdoor lighting and audio systems built for the coast. The same platform carries discreet, high-fidelity landscape audio, so light and sound are designed as one system, not added on after.

What lighting technology do you use?

LED across the board - color-tunable, dimmable, low-voltage. Halogen and fiber optic only where the project specifically calls for them.

Do you integrate with smart-home systems?

We design and install the lighting itself, not the control systems. If your home runs on a control platform, we work alongside whoever manages it and hand off clean, properly zoned circuits for them to program.

How long does a lighting installation take?

Standalone lighting projects typically two to four weeks. When folded into a larger build, lighting installation is the final phase before walkthrough.

Do you maintain the systems after installation?

Yes - we offer ongoing maintenance contracts for fixture replacement, transformer servicing, and re-aiming as the landscape grows.

Do you install low-voltage landscape lighting?

Yes. Low-voltage LED is our standard across the system: safe to run near pools, plantings and hardscape, inexpensive to operate, and long-lived. Fixtures are marine-grade brass and copper, built for salt air and Southwest Florida weather.

Do you light driveways and hardscape?

Yes. Integrated hardscape lighting in seat walls, steps and borders, and driveway lighting designed as part of the arrival experience. It is one of the most requested layers in a full property design.

Do you design the lighting or just install fixtures?

We design first. Lighting here is composed with the landscape, the architecture and the pool as one picture, zoned into scenes, then installed and aimed by our own certified crew. Fixtures without a design is how properties end up glaring.
