Landscape lighting
We light the trees, the brick and the walk the way the design calls for, in warm white, aimed after dark with you standing in the yard. Before any of that, you see the house lit in the 3D model.
Systems from $1,800 installed · One-year workmanship warranty · Fixtures with a 10-year maker's warranty available
What gets lit
Two fixtures at the base of a live oak, one up the trunk and one into the canopy. Lit, the tree frames the house instead of disappearing at dusk.
Fixtures 18 inches off the wall at the entry arch and the gables, aimed up, so the texture reads and the house has a shape at night.
Two fixtures at the front edge aimed back across a row of sage or abelia. Silver foliage glows. This is the part people call designed.
Path lights alternating along the curve, far enough apart that the walk reads as a line of pools and never as a runway.
One fixture mounted high on the house corner, aimed down, so there is light to sit in and nothing to trip on.
Everything runs warm white, 2700K. Wire is buried six inches along the bed edges with a home run from the transformer to each bed. The transformer sits at a garage or patio outlet, comes on at dusk by photocell and goes off on a timer you set.
See it lit first
Every 3D Complete Vision design includes a night view of the plan, with each fixture placed and aimed in the model. You walk the yard on screen at night, move a fixture, drop one, add one, and approve the plan. On install day the crew sets the fixtures where the model put them, then aims every one after dark with you. A 2D Site Plan client can add the night image or video to the plan.
For a yard that is already finished, we start from photos and a visit, build the lighting plan, and show you the same night view before you decide.
Three fixture packages
The plan is the same in all three. The fixtures change. Prices below are for a front yard with 11 up lights, 10 path lights, a transformer, wire, splices and a sleeve under the walk, installed and aimed.
$3,840
21-fixture front yard, installed
$5,390

Smaller yards scale down. An eight-fixture entry on the aluminum package runs about $1,800 installed. Most front yards land between $3,800 and $6,800.
What is included
How it goes
You send photos of the front of the house and the trees. We tell you what is worth lighting and roughly what it costs.
We measure, find the outlet, check the trees and the beds, and photograph the house for the night view.
Fixture by fixture, in the 3D model, with the three package prices. You approve it.
Most front yards install in a day once the fixtures are in hand. Some fixtures are special order, so the lead time is confirmed with the plan. Wire buried, transformer set, fixtures placed.
We come back at dusk, aim every fixture with you, and set the timer.
Questions
Installed low-voltage systems run about $180 to $320 a fixture depending on the fixture line. Our 21-fixture front yard is $3,840 on aluminum, $5,390 on FX Luminaire and $6,720 on cast brass. An eight-fixture entry starts around $1,800.
Yes. The system runs on 12 volts from a transformer plugged into a standard exterior outlet. The wire is buried along the bed edges and marked on the plan so irrigation and planting work can avoid it.
Not for the lighting itself. Texas lets landscape contractors install low-voltage exterior lighting. If the house has no exterior outlet where the transformer needs to go, a licensed electrician adds one and we quote that line separately.
The integrated LEDs in all three packages are rated for tens of thousands of hours, which is well over a decade at dusk-to-eleven use. Fixture warranties are listed with each package.
Yes. Every transformer is sized with headroom (the 150W units carry about 60 to 70W; the 300W multi-tap has room for more zones), and the home runs are laid so a back-yard zone can tie in later.
Low-voltage landscape lighting is residential and does not go through architectural review in the towns we work. Aim matters more than rules: fixtures are aimed into the tree, the wall or the bed, never toward the street or a neighbor's window.
A free 15-minute virtual consult tells you what is worth lighting. The $200 on-site visit is credited in full toward the plan.

“
Designs of Eden, specifically Cole, far exceeded our expectations for our landscaping project. The consultation was extremely thorough and Cole was very honest and forthright on what could and could not be done based on soil, roots, climate. I would absolutely use Designs of Eden for future projects, and strongly recommend to others.
