Professionally illuminated residential garden and patio at night

Our Landscape Lighting Services

Customized low-voltage lighting solutions that add beauty, visibility, safety, and function to residential outdoor spaces.

Custom Lighting Design

A complete, property-specific low-voltage lighting concept that considers architecture, mature landscaping, outdoor living areas, focal points, and desired nighttime atmosphere.

Pathway Lighting

Evenly placed fixtures illuminate walkways, garden paths, sidewalks, and driveways, helping guests navigate confidently while giving the landscape a refined nighttime definition.

Accent & Uplighting

Focused uplights and accent fixtures draw attention to specimen trees, stonework, columns, entryways, water features, and other distinctive architectural or landscape details.

Deck Lighting

Low-voltage stair, railing, perimeter, and under-deck lighting improves visibility and gives decks a warm, finished appearance for relaxing or entertaining after sunset.

Pool & Patio Lighting

Layered ambient, task, and perimeter lighting helps make patios, seating areas, pools, and surrounding hardscapes more inviting and usable during evening hours.

Security Lighting

Thoughtfully positioned exterior lighting improves visibility around entrances, garages, driveways, walkways, and key perimeter areas without overwhelming the home or landscape.

Designed With Intention

Lighting That Reveals Your Home’s Character

Landscape Lighting Designers Plus pairs artistic design with dependable low-voltage installation to create a natural, elegant nighttime setting. Craig Collins personally considers sightlines, fixture placement, beam spread, and color temperature, rather than simply adding brightness. For DC metro homes—from historic row houses to mature suburban landscapes—the result is subtle illumination that highlights what makes the property distinctive while supporting safer movement and more enjoyable evenings outdoors.
