Pathway Lighting
Evenly placed low-voltage fixtures illuminate walkways, driveways, garden paths, and entrances, helping guests navigate confidently while giving the landscape a polished nighttime outline.
Transform your property after dark with thoughtfully placed, energy-efficient low-voltage fixtures. Landscape Lighting Designers Plus designs and installs outdoor lighting that elevates curb appeal, improves visibility around entrances and walkways, and makes patios, gardens, and decks more inviting at night. DC metro homeowners receive personal guidance from an experienced lighting designer—not a sales team—so every fixture supports the character of the home and landscape.
Custom low-voltage outdoor lighting solutions that add beauty, safety, and after-dark function to residential landscapes.
Evenly placed low-voltage fixtures illuminate walkways, driveways, garden paths, and entrances, helping guests navigate confidently while giving the landscape a polished nighttime outline.
Exterior fixtures provide practical illumination around doors, garages, driveways, and property edges, improving nighttime visibility without overwhelming the home or landscape with harsh light.
Stair, railing, perimeter, and under-deck lighting defines outdoor living areas, improves footing after sunset, and extends the comfort and usability of decks for evening gatherings.
Layered lighting for pools, patios, seating areas, and hardscapes creates safer, more usable outdoor spaces while supporting a relaxed atmosphere for nighttime entertaining.
Focused fixtures draw attention to distinctive trees, stonework, water features, entryways, and architectural details, adding depth and visual interest to your property after dark.
A tailored lighting plan combines complementary fixture types and techniques around your home’s architecture, landscape layout, and nighttime goals for a cohesive finished result.
Landscape Lighting Designers Plus creates low-voltage fixture plans that feel intentional rather than overdone. Craig Collins personally considers sightlines, architectural details, mature plantings, and how you use your outdoor spaces before selecting placements and effects. For DC metro homes—from historic Washington row houses to landscaped Bethesda and Potomac properties—the result is subtle, energy-efficient illumination that improves safety, curb appeal, and evening enjoyment while respecting the character of the setting.
See how thoughtful lighting designs transform outdoor spaces for homeowners across the DC metro area.
