A beautifully designed landscape shouldn't disappear after sunset. Professional outdoor landscape lighting transforms your home into a warm, elegant space you can enjoy every evening—while enhancing curb appeal, improving safety, and highlighting the beauty of your garden.
Your yard deserves a second life after dark. Our custom lighting designs highlight:
- pool area lighting,
- architectural lighting
- tree uplighting,
- garden accent lighting,
- low-voltage LED lighting,
- water features,
- walkways,
all outdoor living spaces without
creating harsh or distracting light..
Unlike standard lighting installations, every TerraArt lighting project is personally designed to complement your home, landscape, and lifestyle.
We carefully position each fixture to create depth, warmth, and visual balance while minimizing glare and unnecessary brightness.
Whether you're lighting a front yard/backyard, pool area, house or garden, every detail is planned with both beauty and functionality in mind.

Absolutely. Outdoor landscape lighting can be installed at any time, even years after your garden has been completed. Existing landscapes can be enhanced with pathway lights, architectural lighting, tree uplighting, and garden accent lighting without rebuilding the entire landscape.
However, the best results are achieved when the lighting plan is created as part of the overall landscape design. Planning lighting during the installation phase allows us to conceal wiring, coordinate fixture placement with plants and hardscaping, and create a balanced nighttime composition from the very beginning.
Whether you're adding lighting to an existing garden or designing a brand-new landscape, TerraArt creates lighting that looks intentional, elegant, and perfectly integrated with your outdoor space.

Professional-grade low-voltage landscape lighting is designed for many years of reliable outdoor use. Most premium manufacturers offer warranties ranging from 5 to 10 years, depending on the fixture and components.
In the Texas climate, exposure to heat, moisture, irrigation, and seasonal weather gradually affects any outdoor lighting system. Over time, individual fixtures or components may require replacement as part of normal long-term maintenance.
A well-designed lighting plan makes future maintenance, upgrades, and fixture replacement simple—without disrupting your landscape.

Yes. Whenever possible, we create a professional landscape lighting plan before installation. You can see examples of our lighting drawings below and in our Custom design (Digital project) section.
A detailed lighting plan allows every fixture, cable route, and transformer location to be carefully coordinated with planting beds, irrigation, hardscaping, and future landscape growth. This approach reduces the risk of accidentally damaging underground wiring during future planting, irrigation repairs, or landscape improvements, while making maintenance and system upgrades much easier.
For existing landscapes, we also design lighting directly on-site. During installation, we document the final layout with photos and videos, providing you with a visual record of cable routing and fixture locations for future reference.

While professional landscape lighting doesn't usually translate into a specific increase in appraised home value, it can significantly enhance curb appeal and make your property more attractive to potential buyers. A beautifully illuminated home creates a memorable first impression and helps your property stand out in a competitive market.
Beyond aesthetics, outdoor lighting also improves safety, extends the enjoyment of your outdoor living spaces, and provides year-round flexibility. Many homeowners also use their professionally installed lighting system as part of their seasonal and holiday decorations, creating elegant Christmas displays without the need for temporary lighting installations every year.

Virtually every part of your outdoor space can be enhanced with professional landscape lighting. We design lighting systems for home facades, entryways, garages, driveways, front walks, garden paths, patios, pool areas, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, fire zone, retaining walls, fences, gates, and outdoor living spaces.
We also highlight landscape features such as mature trees, specimen plants, flower beds, garden sculptures, fountains, water features, decorative planters, architectural details, and other focal points that deserve attention after sunset. Every lighting plan is custom designed to complement your home, improve safety, and create a warm, inviting atmosphere.

No. Modern low-voltage LED landscape lighting is remarkably energy-efficient and is designed to operate for many hours each evening while consuming very little electricity. Even a professionally illuminated landscape typically adds only a modest amount to your monthly electric bill.
The exact energy consumption depends on the number of fixtures, their wattage, and how many hours the system operates each night. We carefully select fixture types and light levels to achieve the desired visual effect without using more energy than necessary.
For additional convenience and efficiency, most systems can be programmed with timers, photocells, or smart controls that automatically turn the lights on at dusk and off when they're no longer needed.

We understand that homeowners don't want to wait weeks just to schedule a consultation. In most cases, we can visit your property within one or two days to discuss your project and prepare recommendations. Once the design is approved, we schedule installation as quickly as possible without the long waiting lists that are common with many contractors
Yes. If your home already has landscape lighting, we can often expand or upgrade the existing system instead of replacing it. Whenever possible, we match fixtures, finishes, color temperature, and beam angles to blend seamlessly with your current installation.
We also provide spare LED bulbs and, when appropriate, additional fixtures from the same product line to make future maintenance and replacements simple for homeowners
