Landscape Lighting Installation That Extends Your Evenings Outdoors
Bring Your Property to Life After Dark
Landscape lighting installation changes how you use and experience your property once the sun goes down. Instead of your yard going dark at dusk, thoughtfully placed lighting keeps pathways safe to walk, highlights the trees and architectural features that make your property distinct, and turns your patio or deck into usable space well into the evening. A&V Landscaping installs low-voltage LED systems designed to run efficiently, hold up through North Carolina’s humidity and weather swings, and provide reliable performance year after year.
Every landscape lighting installation starts with understanding how you actually use your outdoor space — where you walk, what you want to highlight, and where extra visibility matters most for safety. From subtle path lighting to accent lighting on trees and architectural details, our team designs and installs systems that look intentional, not scattered.

How We Install Your Landscape Lighting
FAQs
Landscape lighting can be used in several key areas depending on your goals:
- Pathways and walkways, for safer nighttime navigation
- Patios and decks, to extend usable outdoor time
- Trees, shrubs, and architectural features, for accent and visual interest
- Entry points and driveways, to improve security and visibility
Yes, low-voltage systems typically run at 12 volts, which is significantly safer than standard household voltage while still providing bright, reliable illumination for pathways, accents, and outdoor living spaces.
Costs vary based on the size of your property, the number of fixtures, and the complexity of the design — we provide a clear estimate after understanding your specific goals.
Low-voltage LED systems are designed to be energy-efficient, using considerably less electricity than older or high-voltage lighting options, so the impact on your utility costs is typically minimal.
A few common issues affect landscape lighting reliability over time:
- Undersized transformers that can't properly support the fixture load
- Loose or improperly sealed wire connections exposed to moisture
- Fixtures that aren't rated for consistent outdoor weather exposure
Yes, we provide landscape lighting installation for both residential and commercial properties throughout our North Carolina service areas.
Many modern low-voltage landscape lighting systems support remote or app-based control, allowing you to adjust:
- On/off scheduling, so lights activate automatically at dusk and turn off at dawn
- Brightness levels, to match different occasions or seasons
- Zones, so you can control specific areas of your property independently
- Timers, removing the need to manually turn lights on or off each day
We'll discuss available control options during your consultation based on the system that best fits your property.
Installation time depends on the size of your property and the complexity of your lighting design:
- Smaller projects with a limited number of fixtures often take about a day to complete
- Larger properties or more detailed designs, involving multiple zones or extensive accent lighting, may take several days
- Timeline also depends on transformer placement, wiring routes, and any existing landscaping that needs to be worked around
We'll give you a realistic timeframe as part of your estimate, based on your specific property and goals.
