How much does landscape lighting installation cost in Houston?

The cost of landscape lighting depends on how many fixtures you want, whether you are lighting a small front bed or your whole backyard, and how far the wiring needs to run. A few path lights along a walkway will cost less than a full system with pool deck, tree, and security lighting. We will walk your property and give you a written estimate before we start any work.

Can you add landscape lighting to a house that doesn't have any yet?

Yes. Most of our landscape lighting projects start from scratch. We run a new low-voltage circuit off your electrical panel, size the transformer for the number of fixtures you want now plus a little room to add more later, and bury the wiring along planting beds and walkways.

Do you use LED fixtures for landscape lighting?

Yes, we use LED fixtures for almost all our landscape lighting. LED lights use much less power than older halogen fixtures, stay cooler around your plants, and last for years, so you do not have to replace bulbs every summer.Yes, we use LED fixtures for almost all our landscape lighting.

How long does a typical installation take?

A basic pathway and entry lighting project is usually finished in one day. Bigger jobs, like lighting your whole backyard with tree lighting, a pool deck, and security system tie-in, can take two to three days depending on how much trenching is needed.

What's Included in Our Landscape Lighting Installation

Your landscape lighting installation starts with a walk around your property, not just picking from a catalog. We look at where shade falls at night, which trees or features you want to highlight, and where you spend time after dark, like your back patio, pool deck, or front entry. Then we plan out the best fixture types, wiring routes, and control options before we install anything.

We use low-voltage systems with the right transformer for your yard, which keeps your wiring safe and makes it easy to add more lights later if you add a fire pit or new flower bed. We will show you all your LED fixture options for path lighting, wall lights, and recessed lights, and make sure you know where each one will go before we start any work.

We plan your lighting for the future, not just for today. Trees and shrubs grow, so we place junction boxes where you can find them easily and run extra low-voltage cable to areas you might expand. We label transformer zones so you do not have to dig up your yard for changes later. If you want smart home controls or dusk sensors, we can set those up too. When we finish, you will know exactly where everything is and how to make adjustments yourself.
Houston neighborhoods can be very dark at night. If you have to walk a dark driveway from your car to your front door, we can help. We install pathway lights along walkways, driveways, and stairs so you and your family can see clearly and walk safely after dark.

For security, we add motion-activated lights at side entries, wall lights near garages, and floodlights to cover blind spots without lighting up the whole yard. Many of our clients in Spring, Tomball, and Cypress connect these lights to their existing security systems, and we can handle that integration for you during the same visit.

If you want to highlight special parts of your yard, we can install uplighting on columns, soffit lights under your eaves, and tree lighting to show off your live oak or crepe myrtle after dark. Downlighting from higher up in a tree gives your patio a soft, moonlit look, while uplighting from the base creates a dramatic effect. You can choose the look that fits your style.

We match the number of fixtures and the beam spread to your actual trees and walls, not just use the same setup for every yard. A large live oak needs a different approach than a small crepe myrtle, and stucco and brick reflect light differently. We also make sure your accent lighting does not shine into your neighbor's windows by catching these details during our design walk.
Houston weather can be tough on outdoor electrical work. Humidity, clay soil, and heavy rain can cause fixtures to corrode or fill with water if they are not rated for our conditions. We use weatherproof materials rated for direct burial and standing water, and we seal every connection for long-lasting results.

Our licensed electricians handle the transformer setup and connect your landscape lighting to your home's electrical system, including installing GFCI outlets as required by code. After we finish, we test the system and show you what to look for during annual inspections. Fixing a cracked lens or a chewed wire early is much easier than finding out during a summer cookout.

Hurricane season is a big concern in Houston, and many companies do not plan for it. Heavy rain and storm surge can flood transformers or cause problems if connections are not sealed right. We set transformers above flood lines when possible and use waterproof connectors underground, so a hard rain does not mean you need a service call. If you ever need lighting repair, we already know your system and can fix it quickly.

Why Houston Homeowners Choose Mr. Electric of Northwest Houston

Landscape lighting is an electrical job first, and that matters once the fixtures are in the ground near your sprinkler lines and roots. As licensed electricians, we handle transformer sizing, circuit protection, and code-compliant wiring just like we do for any other electrical work in your home. We never treat it as an afterthought.

We serve homeowners across North and West Houston, including Spring, The Woodlands, Tomball, Cypress, Montgomery, Magnolia, Jersey Village, Hockley, Pinehurst, and Rose Hill. That range means we've run landscape lighting through new-build clay soil in Cypress and mature, root-heavy yards in older Spring neighborhoods, adjusting wire gauge and fixture placement for what's actually in the ground.

You get a written, itemized quote before we start, so you know exactly what you are paying for, whether it is a few path lights or a full system with tree uplighting and security features. We test your system before we leave, walk you through the controls, and show you where each transformer and junction box is located. If you need an adjustment after a few weeks, like a fixture hidden by a growing shrub, we will come back and fix it.

We are the electrical contractor homeowners trust for panel upgrades, EV charger installs, and whole-home surge protection. When you choose us for your landscape lighting, you get a team that understands your entire electrical system.

If you're comparing us to a landscaping crew that also installs lights, ask who's pulling the permit and sizing the circuit. That's the part that matters once the lights have been in the ground for a few Houston summers and the first big storm rolls through.
