Outdoor Lighting Company Serving Novato and Marin County
Landscape Lighting: For Nights That Deserve A Little More Garden
Landscape Lighting Designed for Bay Area Nights
Thoughtful landscape lighting changes the way a property feels after dark. It highlights architecture, creates atmosphere, and brings depth to outdoor spaces that might otherwise disappear at sunset.
As an outdoor lighting company serving Marin County and surrounding communities, Heritage Landscapes designs and installs custom lighting systems that complement the landscape and elevate the outdoor experience. From hillside homes in Tiburon to private gardens in Mill Valley, every lighting plan is designed to feel natural, intentional, and beautifully understated.
A Layer, Not a Spotlight
We think of lighting as part of the design, not an afterthought. Every fixture, finish, and beam angle is selected with purpose to enhance the landscape without overpowering it.
The right lighting adds warmth to gathering spaces, gives focal points a presence after dark, and creates an entirely different experience of the property in the evening.
Typical elements include:
Low-profile path lighting with warm, controlled illumination
Discreet step and deck lighting
Tree and pergola lighting that creates a soft moonlight effect
Accent lighting for specimen trees, stonework, and water features
Integrated controls, transformers, and timers for effortless operation
When done well, you don't notice the fixtures. You notice the landscape.

Always Part of the Larger Vision
We design landscape lighting as part of complete landscape projects. This allows every element from patios and plantings to structures, walls, and outdoor living spaces to work together as one cohesive design.
The result is a landscape that feels complete, balanced, and beautiful both day and night.
