Dallas–Fort Worth Landscape Lighting
Dallas–Fort Worth landscape lighting for brick and stone estates, tree-lined streets and backyard retreats, designed to meet HOA rules and stand up to North Texas hail.
Lighting the Metroplex
Dallas–Fort Worth Landscape Lighting With Curb Appeal
North Texas homes are built to make an impression: brick and stone facades, tall entries, stacked gables and long driveways. Well-designed Dallas–Fort Worth landscape lighting keeps that impression going after dark, with balanced light that shows off the architecture instead of flattening it.
Landscape Lighting Texas designs and installs low-voltage LED systems across the Metroplex, from established Dallas and Fort Worth neighborhoods to newer communities in Frisco, McKinney and Southlake. We start every project with a dusk walk of your property, then design around your home’s materials, trees and the way you use the yard.
Then we build it to last through the region’s hail, temperature swings and shifting clay soil.
What We Light
What We Light in Dallas–Fort Worth
Metroplex homeowners usually start with the front of the house, then add the backyard. These are our most-requested features.
Brick & stone facades
Grazing light brings out the texture of brick and stone, and wider washes balance broad facades without bright spots on windows. See architectural uplighting.
Driveways & entries
Low path lights, bollards and well-lit front steps give long estate driveways a clear, welcoming route to the door. See pathway and driveway lighting.
Oaks, elms & crape myrtles
Live oaks, cedar elms, red oaks and crape myrtles each get beams matched to their height and spread. See tree and garden lighting.
Pools & outdoor living
Pool surrounds, fire features and outdoor kitchens lit in layers for evenings outside. See pool lighting.
Smart control
App-based zones, dimming and astronomical timers that adjust to sunset through the year. See smart lighting systems.
Homes & commercial sites
Shielded security lighting for homes, plus exterior lighting for offices, retail and multifamily properties. See security and floodlighting.

Designing Landscape Lighting for North Texas
North Texas weather is tough on outdoor equipment. Spring hailstorms can crack plastic lenses and dent thin housings, summer heat bakes everything in direct sun, and the occasional winter freeze tests every seal. Much of the Metroplex also sits on expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks in drought, which can shift fixtures and stress buried connections.
Many neighborhoods in Southlake, Plano, Frisco and other suburbs also have HOA guidelines about exterior lighting. We design with those rules in mind and can provide fixture details and a plan for architectural review when your association asks for one.
- Solid brass and copper fixtures with glass lenses that stand up to hail better than plastic
- Sturdy stakes and fixture mounts set to stay put as clay soil moves
- Direct-burial cable with slack at each fixture so movement does not pull connections apart
- Shielded, low-glare fixtures and warm 2700K–3000K color that suit HOA guidelines
- Fixture specifications and a lighting plan for HOA architectural review
- Multi-tap transformers and 12- or 10-gauge cable for long runs on larger lots
- Seasonal timer settings so lights follow early winter dusk and late summer sunsets

Our Process
How a Dallas–Fort Worth Lighting Project Works
Free dusk consultation
A designer meets you at sunset to walk the property, look at the facade and trees as the light drops and talk through HOA requirements.
Custom design
You get a lighting plan and itemized quote: fixtures, beam angles, color temperature, transformer size and zones. Typical residential projects fall in a planning range of $2,500–$12,000.
Expert installation
Our crew installs cable, fixtures and the transformer, working around irrigation, roots and hardscape, and cleans up as we go.
Reveal & tune
We return after dark to aim and balance each fixture, set the timer and show you the controls. Work is covered by our 5-year workmanship warranty.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my HOA approve landscape lighting?
Many HOAs readily allow tasteful landscape lighting, especially warm, shielded, low-glare designs. Rules vary by community, so we review your guidelines during the consultation and can provide fixture specifications and a plan for your architectural review submission.
How does landscape lighting hold up to North Texas hail?
Solid brass and copper fixtures with tempered glass lenses handle hail far better than plastic or thin aluminum. Most low-profile fixtures also sit sheltered among plants. If a storm does damage something, our repair service can replace lenses or fixtures quickly.
Does clay soil cause problems for lighting systems?
Expansive clay can shift fixtures and strain buried splices over time. We use sturdy stakes, leave slack at each connection and use sealed splices so the system tolerates normal ground movement. An annual tune-up handles any re-aiming.
What does landscape lighting cost in Dallas–Fort Worth?
Most residential projects fall in a planning range of $2,500–$12,000, with starter systems around $2,500–$5,000 and estate properties sometimes exceeding $20,000. Try our cost calculator for a quick estimate.
