Designed around you
We ask how you use your home after dark before we pick a single fixture. The plan supports your life, not a sales package.

Why it matters
Lighting that changes how you use your home
"The goal is not more light. It is the right light, in the right places, at the right warmth."
A great lighting plan turns a house into a home you look forward to pulling up to. Texas Landscape Lights uses layered, low-glare light to bring out stonework and rooflines, guide guests along walkways, show off mature trees and make patios and pool decks comfortable long after the sun goes down.
Every property is different, so we never install a preset package. We look at how you arrive, where you sit, what you see from inside and which features deserve attention. Then we design a balanced system with the right fixtures, beam spreads, color temperature and controls. The result feels natural: warm, inviting and never like a parking lot.
Texas is also hard on outdoor equipment. Triple-digit summers, Gulf Coast humidity, North Texas hail, Hill Country flash floods and the occasional hard freeze all take a toll. That is why Texas Landscape Lights specifies solid brass, copper and heavy aluminum fixtures, sealed waterproof connections, properly sized transformers and wire that is buried where edgers and aerators will not find it.
What you get with Texas Landscape Lights
- A custom design built around your architecture, trees and how you use the yard
- Professional low-voltage LED fixtures chosen for Texas heat, UV and moisture
- Clean installation with concealed wire and protected beds and roots
- Smart controls that follow the sunset all year, with optional app and zone control
- A final visit after dark to aim and balance every fixture

One state, five climates
Built for the Texas you live in
A system that thrives in Galveston salt air would be overbuilt in Lubbock and wrong for a limestone hillside in Austin. Texas Landscape Lights designs every project around its region's weather, soil, trees and architecture.
Gulf Coast
HumiditySalt airHurricanesFlood risk
Heavy rain, tropical storms and year-round humidity are the enemy of cheap fixtures and taped splices. Coastal and Houston-area systems need sealed connections and corrosion-resistant metals.
How we build it
- Solid brass or copper fixtures that patina instead of rusting
- Gel-filled waterproof connectors on every splice
- Transformers mounted well above standing water, on GFCI
- Moonlighting in tall pines and live oaks
What we light
- Live oaks and loblolly pines
- Sabal and Mexican fan palms
- Brick traditionals and stucco
- Pools and covered patios
North Texas
HailIce stormsClay soilHOAs
DFW lighting has to shrug off hail, the occasional hard freeze and expansive clay that heaves fixtures out of level. Strong HOA standards also reward subtle, glare-free design.
How we build it
- Heavy-wall fixtures with tempered glass lenses
- Stakes and hubs set for shifting clay
- Warm 2700K on red brick and Austin stone
- Astronomical timers for HOA-friendly schedules
What we light
- Pecans, cedar elms and Shumard oaks
- Red brick and stone traditionals
- Long front elevations
- Master-planned neighborhoods
Hill Country
LimestoneFlash floodsDark skiesSlopes
Limestone ledges, caliche and steep lots make wire runs harder, and many communities value dark skies. The best Hill Country systems are shielded, downward-aware and very warm.
How we build it
- Fully shielded fixtures aimed to avoid sky glow
- Grazing light on limestone and stone walls
- Routing wire through rock without scarring the site
- Flood-smart transformer placement near creeks
What we light
- Live oaks, cedar and Texas mountain laurel
- White limestone and metal roofs
- Hillside decks and views
- Native beds, agave and yucca
South Texas
Extreme heatUVPalmsOutdoor living
Long, hot seasons mean people live outside after dark. Fixtures must handle intense UV and heat, and patios, courtyards and palms become the stars of the design.
How we build it
- Integrated LED fixtures rated for high ambient heat
- Courtyard and patio layers on dimmers
- Palm uplighting with wide, warm beams
- Insect-aware color temperatures near seating
What we light
- Palms, mesquite and live oaks
- Spanish revival and stucco
- Courtyards and pergolas
- Tile roofs and arches
West Texas & Panhandle
WindDustDry coldWide open sites
Big wind, blowing dust and wide-open ranch properties call for sturdy, low-profile fixtures and long, carefully calculated wire runs to keep voltage steady.
How we build it
- Low-profile, wind-resistant path and well lights
- Heavier-gauge wire for long ranch drives
- Lens choices that stay clean in dust
- Respectful lighting under famously dark skies
What we light
- Desert willow, yucca and agave
- Stucco and adobe-style homes
- Long gated drives
- Xeriscape beds and rock

The difference
Why Texas homeowners choose Texas Landscape Lights
Balance over brightness
Contrast, shadow and comfortable levels make a property look its best. We light what matters and let darkness do the rest.
Built for the weather
Heat, hail, humidity, floods and freezes are part of the spec, from fixture metals to connector seals and transformer placement.
Respect for the landscape
Wire is concealed, roots are avoided, beds are protected and the site is left cleaner than we found it.
We finish at night
Glare and balance can only be judged after sunset, so every Texas Landscape Lights project ends with a night aiming visit.
Clear, written proposals
You see fixture locations, scope and price in writing. If a repair beats a replacement, we will tell you.

FAQ
Questions about Texas Landscape Lights
What does Texas Landscape Lights do?
Texas Landscape Lights designs, installs, repairs and upgrades low-voltage LED landscape lighting: architectural uplighting, path and driveway lights, tree and garden lighting, patio and pool lighting, smart controls and commercial or HOA lighting.
Which parts of Texas do you serve?
We work with homeowners across Texas, including Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Plano, Frisco, Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Round Rock and New Braunfels. If your city is not listed, call and ask.
How much does landscape lighting cost in Texas?
Most professionally installed low-voltage LED systems are priced per fixture, and the total depends on fixture quality, wire runs, soil and rock, controls and design. Our cost guide gives typical planning ranges, and your written proposal gives an exact number.
How much does it cost to run LED landscape lighting?
Very little. A 20-fixture LED system drawing about 100 watts for six hours a night uses roughly 18 kWh a month, which is a few dollars at typical Texas residential rates. Try our energy cost calculator with your own numbers.
Will the lights survive Texas heat, hail and storms?
That is what we design for. We specify solid brass, copper or heavy powder-coated aluminum fixtures, sealed waterproof connections, direct-burial wire and GFCI-protected transformers mounted above flood level.
Do you repair systems another company installed?
Yes. We diagnose dead zones, cut or corroded wire, failing transformers and voltage drop on any brand, and we convert old halogen systems to LED.
Can I control the lights from my phone?
Yes. Astronomical timers follow sunset automatically, and Wi-Fi or smart-home controls add zones, dimming, scenes and away modes you can run from an app.
How do I get started?
Request a quote online or call (281) 704-7210. We start with a short conversation about your goals, then visit the property and, where it helps, show you a night demo before you decide.
Whether you are in a Houston bungalow, a Frisco new build, a limestone home west of Austin or a ranch outside San Antonio, Texas Landscape Lights can design a system that fits your home, your budget and your climate. Call (281) 704-7210 or request your free lighting plan today.
