Landscape Lighting Installations We Offer

Our ultimate goal when designing your landscape lighting system is to accentuate your landscaping and create the right ambiance that you're after.  Our design process involves choosing the types of lights and the fixtures to be used, determining the exact placement and orientation of the lights, selecting the appropriate lighting levels and color temperature to create the desired visual effect, and lastly what type of control system to use.

Here are the steps involved in our landscape lighting design process:

Identify the goals and objectives: Before starting the design process, it's important to identify the purpose of the lighting. Is it for security, a dynamic night time look, or both? What specific features in your landscape do you really want the lighting to highlight or accentuate?

Survey the site: Next, we walk around the site and take note of the existing features, such as trees, shrubs, pathways, and structures. We need to consider how these features will be affected by the lighting and how they can be used to enhance the overall design.

Choose the types of lights and fixtures: There are many different types of landscape lighting fixtures to choose from, including spotlights, path lights, and floodlights.  We need to consider the style and theme of the landscape, as well as the type of bulbs and controls that will be used.

Determine the placement and orientation of the lights: We will decide where the lights will be placed and how they will be oriented. We'll need to consider the height and angle of the lights, as well as the distances between the fixtures to ensure we get the best coverage.  As your landscape matures, we may even need to readjust them in the future, so this must be considered as well.

Select the lighting levels and color temperature: We need to consider the desired ambiance and mood of the space, and choose the appropriate lighting levels and color temperature to create the desired effect.

Test the lighting: Before finalizing the design, it's important we test the lighting to ensure it creates the desired effect. This may involve adjusting the placement or orientation of the fixtures, or adjusting the lighting levels and color temperature.

Install and maintain the lighting: Finally, once the design is complete, the lighting fixtures can be installed and properly maintained to ensure they function properly and look their best. This may involve cleaning and replacing bulbs and fixtures as needed.

The biggest deciding factor with your new landscape lighting is going to be your overall budget.  We have no intention of showing you something or presenting ideas you can't afford, we can work with your budget to come up with a beautiful landscape lighting scheme you and your family can enjoy.

If you'd like to schedule a consultation with us to discuss your landscape lighting ideas we'd be happy to meet with you.  Please call (248) 404-0874 or fill out our online form and we'll get right back to you.

How Much Does Landscape Lighting Cost?

Landscaping lighting systems vary from basic systems to much more detailed and complex lighting systems for large properties with extensive landscaping.

Basic Landscape Lighting

$3500 - $6500

This would be for a basic landscaping lighting system to light up a deck or backyard patio.

Mid-Range Landscape Lighting

$6500 - $12,000

This would be for a mid-range lighting system for a larger backyard patio, deck, and driveway or pathways.

Complex Outdoor Lighting

$12,000 - $30,000+

This would be for a larger project with many different styles of fixtures and extensive electrical upgrades.

Landscape Lighting Systems Can Include

There are several methods of landscape lighting that we can incorporate into your outdoor lighting system, including:

Path lighting: Lights that are installed along walkways or paths to provide visibility and safety.  They set an inviting tone as you or your guests navigate your property when the sun sets.

Spotlighting: Lights that are installed to highlight specific features, such as trees, sculptures, or architectural details.

Floodlighting: Lights that are installed to illuminate large areas, such as decks or patios.

Up lighting: Lights that are installed on the ground and pointed upwards to highlight trees or other vertical elements.

Downlighting: Lights that are installed on trees or other structures and pointed downwards to illuminate the ground below.

Accent lighting: Lights that are installed to add visual interest or create ambiance, such as string lights or LED strip lighting.

Step lighting: Lights that are installed along stairways or steps to provide visibility and safety.

Wall lighting: Lights that are installed on walls or other structures to provide illumination and add visual interest.

Deck lighting: Lights that are installed on decks or patios to provide illumination and create a welcoming atmosphere.

Submersible lighting: Lights that are designed to be submerged in water, such as pond or pool lights or for a water feature like a fountain or waterfall.

By using a combination of these types of lighting, you can create a cohesive and functional lighting design for your landscape.

These prices are only ball park figures to give you a rough idea as to what you should expect to pay for landscape lighting design and installation.  If you need a firm price please request a consultation so we can view your potential project, listen to your ideas, and determine the actual scope of work required to complete your landscape lighting system.

Edwin and his team were fantastic to work with! We needed our old 90's patio steps rebuilt the exact same way and they were the only company to tackle this project for us. All the others tried to talk us into a whole new look for a lot more money. So glad we went with Silva! Edwin's customer service and expertise is top notch. I highly recommend!

Edwin and his team were amazing! They handled all the permits and paperwork and got promptly to work as soon as everything was finalized. His team that came out were respectful and made sure my wife and I were happy with everything along the way. We love the fence and would recommend to anyone looking for good quality work!

I HIGHLY recommend Silva custom design. Edwin is the best! Edwin redid my driveway and did the foundation + framing for my home addition. His crews were very respectful cleaning up daily and very hard workers! I honestly was sad he wasn’t able to do more work on my renovation.

Edwin and his team were fantastic to work with and our patio turned out beautiful. Edwin came out quickly to give us a quote on removing some raised beds and redoing our collapsing patio and then fit us into his schedule for the fall. We appreciated his professionalism and that he gave us quotes for both new pavers and reusing our old ones. We decided to go with new pavers and they look amazing. The work was done quickly and perfectly! We would happily recommend them to anyone.
