Why light it

Summer nights are when the yard gets used.

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.

What a lighting plan looks at
What we light

Six places to put light in a yard.

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.

01

Walkways and paths

Low lights along a path so you can see the edge and every turn.

02

Palms and trees

Light aimed up into palms and trees to give the yard height at night.

03

Patios and seating

Enough light to eat and talk without glare in your eyes.

04

Front entry

A clear, lit path from the driveway to the front door.

05

Desert plant beds

Cactus and succulents lit from the side to show off their shapes.

06

Walls and house front

A soft wash on the stucco that gives the house some depth after dark.

Not sure what needs light?

We can look at the yard with you and point out the spots that would make the biggest difference, at no charge.

Plan before wire

Lighting is placed on paper first.

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.

Lighting install

Five steps to a lit yard.

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.

01

We look at what you want to see and use at night.

02

Light and landscape

Lighting works best with a planned yard.

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.

The cost

What decides a lighting price.

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.

Number of lights

More paths, trees and areas to light means more fixtures.

Wire runs

Long runs across a big yard or under existing hardscape take more work.

Fixture style

The look and material of the fixtures you pick.

New or existing yard

Lighting added during an install is simpler than working around a finished yard.

The full price is in writing before we start.

Questions

Landscape lighting questions.

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.

Types of light

The four kinds of landscape light.

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.

/02

Aimed into trees, palms and big plants to give the yard height.

/03
