Landscape Lighting
Outdoor Lighting: For Nights That Deserve A Little More Garden
Landscape Lighting Designed for Bay Area Nights
When thoughtfully placed, landscape lighting extends more than just the day—it extends the feeling of the garden. It creates continuity between indoors and out, draws the eye where it wants to go, and offers structure and softness once the sun goes down.
From hillside homes in Tiburon to shaded gardens in Mill Valley, we design lighting that supports movement, mood, and quiet moments—never harsh, never overdone.
A Layer, Not a Spotlight
We think of lighting as a design layer, not an afterthought. Every fixture, finish, and beam spread is selected in context: what it touches, how it fades, and how it complements the space around it. We source warm, dimmable, energy-efficient systems that are as understated as they are dependable. It’s how paths are found without looking. How a tree carries presence into the evening. How the architectural lines of a deck or wall are echoed gently in shadow. It also offers peace of mind—subtle clarity for steps, thresholds, and transitions.
Typical elements include:
Low-profile path lighting with soft glare control
Discreet step lights and deck uplights
Downlights from trees or pergolas for moonlight-style wash
Accent lighting for focal trees, walls, and water features
Fully integrated transformers and timers for ease of use and longevity
We design with restraint. When it’s done well, you don’t notice the lights—you notice the landscape at night.

Walk & Envision
We explore how you use the space, what you want to see after dark, and what you’d prefer to leave in shadow.

Design With Intention
Lighting is layered into the broader plan—aligned with materials, movement, and moments of pause.
Install & Refine
Our team installs with care and fine-tunes in real time, walking the garden at dusk to ensure balance, warmth, and clarity.

Always Part of the Larger Vision
We include lighting only as part of a complete landscape project. This allows us to design for cohesion across materials, elevation, and function to ensure the lighting doesn’t compete, but completes.
Let’s Illuminate What Matters
We design landscape lighting as part of full-site transformations. Let’s walk your property and begin shaping how it lives after dark.
