Tell us where the yard is and we will come measure it.
From May to September, most Chandler families wait for sundown to use the backyard. Good lighting makes that possible, with light where you sit and clear edges on every path and step.
Outdoor lighting also changes how the house reads from the street. Palms, mesquite and palo verde trees, agave and the stucco front all take on shape at night instead of disappearing into the dark.
Ready when you areWant your yard to look as good at night as it does at noon? CGL Landscaping installs landscape lighting in Chandler, Gilbert, Scottsdale and across the East Valley, for paths, trees, patios and entries. Book a free on-site estimate or call (480) 219-0038.
Most lighting plans use a few of these, depending on the yard and how you use it. A front yard in Chandler might only need a lit path and two uplit palms.
A backyard built for summer evenings usually needs more. Think soft light at the patio, the fire pit and the walk to the gate, without glare in anyone’s eyes or light spilling next door.
Low lights along a path so you can see the edge and every turn.
Light aimed up into palms and trees to give the yard height at night.
Enough light to eat and talk without glare in your eyes.
A clear, lit path from the driveway to the front door.
Cactus and succulents lit from the side to show off their shapes.
A soft wash on the stucco that gives the house some depth after dark.
We can look at the yard with you and point out the spots that would make the biggest difference, at no charge.
We map every path, tree and seating area on the yard plan, then decide which ones get light and from which direction. That keeps the look even and the fixture count sensible.
The plan also shows where the wire will run. In a yard with rock, pavers and caliche underneath, knowing the route before digging saves a lot of work and keeps the finished yard intact.
The exact method varies with the yard and the fixtures you choose. The order stays the same from the first walk to the final adjustment.
Every landscape lighting job in Chandler starts with how you use the yard at night. It ends with the light landing where it should, on the path, the tree or the patio table.
We look at what you want to see and use at night.
Each light marked on the plan and the ground.
Lines buried or tucked along beds and edges.
Lights installed and connected.
Adjusted once it is dark so the light lands right.
Lighting shows off whatever it lands on. The best results come when it is designed along with the patio, the planting and the walkways.
That way the wire runs go in before the rock and pavers go down. A fire pit, a pergola or a desert bed full of agave all give the lighting something worth pointing at.
Lighting is quoted after we see the yard. These are the four things that move the number on an outdoor lighting job.
Adding lights to a finished yard in Gilbert or Chandler takes more care than wiring a yard that is still being built. Fixture count and wire runs make up most of the rest.
More paths, trees and areas to light means more fixtures.
Long runs across a big yard or under existing hardscape take more work.
The look and material of the fixtures you pick.
Lighting added during an install is simpler than working around a finished yard.

Best landscapers I’ve ever had! I live in an HOA with very strict rules and they did an absolutely fabulous job. So thankful to have found them. Each of their employees are extremely hard working and even go above and beyond wiping off patio furniture and making every part of the front/backyard presentable. Can’t wait to see them again!Posted on Google![]()

We’ve been working with CGL for nearly a year now, and they’ve been incredible. They helped us get our irrigation system back on track after our previous landscaper severely dropped the ball. Additionally, anytime we had an emergency leak, they were on-site within a few hours at most. Their responsiveness, professionalism, and quality of work have been outstanding. It's also nice to work with someone like Jose and can answer all of your questions and explain everything in such detail to ensure you understand the issue(s) at hand. Highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

I recently hired CGL Landscaping for sod installation at my home in Phoenix, and they did a fantastic job. From the initial consultation to the final touches, their professionalism and expertise were evident. They prepared the soil and installed high-quality, lush sod that transformed my yard. CGL Landscaping's attention to detail and customer service set them apart. They ensured proper irrigation, provided aftercare instructions, and even followed up to check on the sod's progress. The project was completed on time and within the estimated timeframes Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with CGL Landscaping. Their commitment to quality and outstanding customer service have earned my trust and future business. I highly recommend them for any landscaping needs in the Phoenix area.Posted on Google![]()

CGL Landscaping has been great to work with. We reached out to Jose to get an estimate for a one time clean up and monthly service. Jose and Alan showed up the next day to provide an estimate for both services. We elected to move forward with CGL and the clean up crew was out the following day to complete services. Two weeks later, the monthly maintenance crew showed up to complete our first monthly service. Invoicing and payment is easy through an online portal. Jose and Alan were both responsive throughout the process and were accessible via text, email or phone call. So far we are very pleased with our services through CGL and would recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping services.Posted on Google![]()

CGL landscaping made the process super easy from start to finish. Jose came out quickly to give me a proposal and I got it the same day. Scheduling was also very easy, and my project was done on time. Would recommend CGL to anyone if you’re looking for great work and great customer service.Posted on Google![]()

I used to use another landscaping company and they never did the job right, along with that the communication was not there, never got returned calls and it was impossible to reach someone. Then I found CGL Landscaping. They were quick to come out for a free estimate and communication was always and still there. One of the office workers, Alan, is always there to answer and if he doesn't, he is quick to respond. Thank you CGL for 3 great years and many more to come!Posted on Google![]()

SUPER TOP NOTCH COMPANY Best experience, Jose was kind and understanding of my situation. I had LNR landscaping put in synthetic turf in my front yard, did a horrible job. After months of trying to get them to come back, after they’ve been paid in full to fix it. They stopped returning phone calls , never kept set appointments to come and fix it. I called Jose and they blew me away, they came right away, crew was all friendly and got the job done quickly. They went above and beyond I was just thinking they to fix what was there but the job was so bad they removed it all and replaced the whole area. Definitely will recommend to everyone I know. Thanks Jose and team that came today you made my nightmare a beauty that I can now enjoy when I walk out my door.Posted on Yelp![]()

I worked with Jose and his team and found them to be professional, courteous and trustworthy. My yard looks amazing. Jose was patient with me as I made a few changes from my original design. The trees they planted are looking healthy as well as the flower bed, Jose offered to provided care to my front yard and it turned out awesome. He also offered to made a nice area for my dog it turned out great. My plan is to continue with CGL Landscaping for maintenance. Thank you Jose for a job well done.

I rarely, if ever, write reviews let alone give someone a 5-star rating unless they REALLY deserve it. We interviewed 4 landscaping companies before we selected Creative Green Landscaping. We chose them because they were very knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable from our very first meeting. Jose (the owner) made it clear that our satisfaction was their number one goal. He definitely followed through and they did a beautiful job. They started the work immediately and throughout the project they showed up early and stayed late. They worked hard and provided quality work. When we decided last minute to make changes, they were flexible and helpful. We have had our fair share of negative contractor experiences, so we appreciate good and honest firms like Creative Green Landscaping. We highly recommend them for your project.Load more
Anything else, ask on the free estimate. We can talk through it while we look at the yard with you.
These are the questions we hear most from Chandler homeowners about lighting paths, trees and patios. Placement and adding lights to a finished yard come up the most.
Yes. It takes more care to run wire around existing rock, plants and pavers, but it can be done without tearing the yard apart.
Usually along paths and steps, on a few feature trees or palms, around the patio and at the front entry. We help you pick the spots that matter most.
We aim fixtures down and inward where needed so the light stays on your property and out of windows.
Yes, and it is the easiest time. The wire goes in before the rock and pavers, so nothing has to be dug up later.
The common ones are path lights, uplights for trees and palms, wall wash for the house front and area lights for patios. Most yards use a mix.
Yes. We light yards in Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Queen Creek, Ahwatukee and San Tan Valley as well as Chandler.
Lit up by a crew based right here in Chandler. We also take lighting jobs in Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Queen Creek, Ahwatukee and San Tan Valley.
Many East Valley HOA communities have landscape rules about front yard changes. We will help you check what your HOA expects before lights go in along the street side of the house.
Each one does a different job. We will suggest the mix that fits your yard when we come out to look at it.
A typical Chandler yard pairs path lights with a few uplit trees or palms, then adds area light at the patio. Wall wash is the finishing touch that makes the house itself part of the design.
Short fixtures along walks and beds that light the ground, not your eyes.
Aimed into trees, palms and big plants to give the yard height.
Soft light across the house front or a garden wall.
We are a family owned landscaping crew from Chandler. We plan your lighting with the same care as the plants and hardscape, because it is part of the same yard.
CGL Landscaping designs and installs the rest of the landscape too. So the lighting plan fits the trees you have, the paths you walk and the patio you use every night.
Get a free estimate at your house. We walk the yard, talk about where you want light and give you a written price.
If the backyard goes dark just as the heat breaks, lighting is how you get those evenings back. Give CGL Landscaping a call or use the form to set up a visit.
