Houston Landscape Lighting

Water is the main enemy of outdoor lighting on the Gulf side of Texas. Moisture finds its way into weak wire splices, low spots hold standing water after a storm and humid air works on cheap aluminum housings. A system that looks fine on day one can start flickering within a season if those details are ignored.

We plan around it from the start. Transformers are mounted above expected water levels, connections are sealed, and fixtures are chosen for wet locations. Lush planting also grows fast here, so we place fixtures where they can be maintained and expect to re-aim as beds fill in.

• Solid brass and copper fixtures that resist corrosion in heavy humidity
• Waterproof, gel-filled or sealed wire connections instead of cheap pierce-type clips
• Transformers mounted high and on dedicated GFCI-protected outlets
• Fixture placement that avoids low spots and drainage paths where water collects
• Sealed LED fixtures with appropriate IP ratings for wet locations
• Timers and smart controls that keep running after storm-related power blips
• Layouts planned for fast-growing beds, palms and shade trees
