Landscape Lighting in Albuquerque, NM

Start with a few strong focal points rather than lighting everything. A desert willow, a large agave or a boulder cluster makes a great anchor. Then add soft path lighting where people walk and a little wash on the house. In a gravel-heavy yard, restraint looks better than a grid of fixtures. We'll suggest a layout during your site visit.

We plan around it. Before installing, we note where your drip lines, emitters and valves run, then route low-voltage wiring and set fixtures to stay clear of them. That protects your irrigation and keeps water from pooling around connections. If you're redoing irrigation soon, let us know so we can coordinate the timing.

Yes. We favor shielded fixtures, downward aiming where it makes sense, and warm color temperatures at modest brightness. You can also schedule lights to dim or shut off late at night from the app. The goal is a yard that glows softly while still letting you see the stars over the Sandias.

Depending on the fixtures you choose, yes. Many homeowners keep the landscape in warm white year-round and let the roofline and walls carry the holiday colors, which tends to look the most polished. If you want the yard in on the fun too, we can include color-capable fixtures and tie them into the same app.

Cost depends on the number and type of fixtures, the size of the yard, how far wiring needs to run, soil and gravel conditions, whether it ties into an existing system, and power access. We'll walk the yard with you, recommend a layout, and give you a written quote. You can also start with the front yard and add to it later.
