Custom Outdoor Lighting Designed Around Your Property
Great landscape lighting isn’t about putting lights everywhere.
It’s about putting the right light in the right place.
Every property is different. Trees, landscaping, walkways, architecture, elevation changes, driveways, patios, and outdoor living areas all affect how a lighting system should be designed.
Exterior Design Services takes a custom approach to landscape lighting. We evaluate your property, talk with you about what you want to accomplish, and create a lighting layout that balances:
- Beauty
- Visibility
- Safety
- Function
- Energy efficiency
- Curb appeal
- Long-term performance
The goal is a property that looks naturally beautiful after dark—not one that feels over-lit.
Let’s talk about what you want to illuminate.

Our Custom Landscape Lighting Services
Landscape lighting can serve many different purposes, which is why we design each system around the property rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all layout.
Pathway & Walkway Lighting
Illuminate sidewalks, garden paths, steps, and walkways to create a welcoming entrance while making it easier for family members, customers, and guests to see where they’re going after dark.
Landscape Uplighting
Strategically placed uplights can showcase trees, palms, shrubs, architectural features, columns, and other focal points that would otherwise disappear at night.
The result can dramatically change the nighttime appearance of your property.
Garden & Accent Lighting
You invested time and money creating beautiful landscaping. Accent lighting allows you to enjoy it after sunset.
We can highlight flower beds, ornamental plants, trees, rock features, garden walls, and other landscape elements without overpowering the space
Architectural Lighting
Your home or building can become part of the landscape lighting design.
Carefully positioned lighting can highlight columns, brick, stone, rooflines, entrances, and other architectural details, adding depth and dimension to the property after dark.
Driveway & Entrance Lighting
Make your property easier to find and more inviting with lighting around driveways, entrances, gates, and parking areas.
For businesses, professionally designed entrance lighting can also help create a more polished first impression for customers arriving after dark.
Patio & Outdoor Living Lighting
Your patio, seating area, fire pit, outdoor kitchen, or entertaining space shouldn’t become unusable just because the sun went down.
Custom lighting can create comfortable illumination for entertaining, relaxing, cooking, and spending time outdoors in the evening.
Step & Hardscape Lighting
Lighting can be incorporated around steps, retaining walls, walkways, borders, and other hardscape features to improve visibility while creating attractive visual effects.
Tree Lighting
Mature trees can become some of the most dramatic features of a nighttime landscape.
Depending on the property and desired effect, carefully positioned lighting can showcase trunks, branches, canopies, and surrounding landscaping.
Residential & Commercial Landscape Lighting
We provide custom outdoor lighting solutions for both homeowners and businesses.
Commercial landscape lighting can improve the nighttime appearance of:
- Office properties
- Retail locations
- Restaurants
- Apartment and multifamily properties
- HOA entrances
- Professional offices
- Commercial landscaping
- Walkways and customer entrances
What Can Professional Landscape Lighting Do for Your Property?
Landscape lighting is about much more than making a yard brighter.
A well-designed system can completely change how you experience your property.
Increase Curb Appeal After Dark
You may have invested thousands of dollars into landscaping, trees, hardscaping, and your home’s exterior.
During the daytime, those improvements are easy to see.
After sunset, much of that investment disappears into the darkness.
Landscape lighting allows carefully selected features to remain visible at night and gives your property an entirely different appearance after sunset.
Make Walkways and Steps Easier to See
Dark walkways, changes in elevation, steps, and landscape borders can be difficult to see at night.
Strategically placed lighting improves visibility in the areas where people actually walk without flooding the entire property with harsh light.
Create a More Welcoming Entrance
Lighting can guide visitors naturally from the driveway toward your front entrance.
Instead of one bright porch light surrounded by darkness, a layered lighting design can create a warmer, more inviting approach to the property.
Enjoy Your Outdoor Spaces Longer
Georgia evenings are meant to be enjoyed outdoors.
Proper lighting can help patios, gardens, seating areas, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and other spaces remain comfortable and functional after sunset.
Highlight Your Favorite Landscaping
- Have a beautiful mature tree?
- A stone retaining wall?
- An ornamental garden?
- A newly landscaped entrance?
Those features can become focal points at night with properly positioned accent lighting.
Add Depth and Dimension
Professional landscape lighting isn't simply about brightness.
Using different fixture positions, beam angles, heights, and lighting techniques can create layers of light and shadow that give the property depth.
That’s one of the biggest differences between a thoughtfully designed landscape lighting system and simply placing lights around the yard.
Why Low-Voltage LED Landscape Lighting?
For many residential landscape lighting applications, low-voltage LED systems offer an excellent combination of performance, efficiency, flexibility, and appearance.
Energy Efficient
LED fixtures use significantly less electricity than older incandescent lighting technologies while providing excellent illumination.
Long-Lasting
Quality LED lighting is designed for long service life, reducing the need for frequent bulb replacement.
Design Flexibility
Low-voltage systems can accommodate many different fixture styles and lighting techniques, making it possible to build a system around the unique characteristics of your property.
Timers & Automated Controls
Depending on the system selected, outdoor lighting can be configured to turn on and off automatically so you don't have to remember to operate it every evening.
Expandable
Planning another landscaping or hardscaping project later?
A properly planned lighting system may be able to accommodate future additions as your outdoor space evolves.
Landscape Lighting vs. Solar Landscape Lights
We get it—solar landscape lights are inexpensive and easy to find.
But there is a major difference between placing individual solar fixtures around your yard and having a professionally designed landscape lighting system.
Solar lights depend on the amount of sunlight each individual fixture receives and are generally designed as standalone lights. Their brightness and performance can vary based on location, weather, battery condition, and the fixture itself.
A professionally installed low-voltage system allows the lighting to be planned as one complete design.
That means we can consider:
- What should be illuminated
- What should remain darker
- Fixture placement
- Beam direction
- Light intensity
- Walkway visibility
- Architectural features
- Landscaping
- Outdoor living spaces
- The overall view of the property
If you're looking for more than simply putting lights along a sidewalk, custom landscape lighting gives you considerably more control over the finished appearance.
Our Landscape Lighting Design & Installation Process
We make upgrading your outdoor space simple.
1. Free Consultation
We start by learning what you want to accomplish and walking the property with you.
Maybe you want better walkway visibility.
Maybe there are trees or architectural features you want to highlight.
Or maybe you simply know your property looks great during the day and want it to look just as impressive at night.
We’ll help you determine the best approach.
2. Custom Lighting Plan
We evaluate the property's landscaping, architecture, walkways, driveways, outdoor living spaces, and focal points to determine where lighting will have the greatest impact.
3. Fixture & Placement Planning
We determine the appropriate lighting locations and fixture types based on the desired effect.
The objective isn't to install as many lights as possible.
It's to use light intentionally.
4. Professional Installation
Our team installs the system while taking care to minimize disruption to your existing lawn and landscaping.
5. System Testing & Adjustments
Once installed, the system is tested and the fixtures are positioned and adjusted to create the intended lighting effect.
6. Enjoy Your New Outdoor Space
Turn the lights on and see your property in an entirely different way.
