Frequently Asked Questions
How much does landscape lighting cost in Texas?
A basic low-voltage landscape lighting system with 10 fixtures, transformer, and professional installation costs $1,200 to $2,500 in Texas. A more comprehensive system with 20 fixtures covering front and back yard runs $2,500 to $5,000. Individual fixtures cost $75 to $200 each installed. High-end brass or copper fixtures and line-voltage installations push costs higher. The transformer adds $200 to $500 depending on wattage capacity and features like timers and zone controls.
Low-voltage or line-voltage -- which is better for landscape lighting?
Low-voltage (12V) landscape lighting is the standard for residential properties. It is safer to install and maintain because 12 volts cannot cause electric shock, it uses less energy, the wire can be direct-buried without conduit, and modern LED fixtures produce excellent output at low voltage. Line-voltage (120V) fixtures are reserved for commercial properties or very large installations where long wire runs would cause voltage drop issues. For nearly all Texas homes, low-voltage LED is the best choice.
How many landscape lights do I need?
A typical front yard needs 8 to 15 fixtures for a balanced design: 4 to 6 path lights along the walkway, 2 to 4 uplights for trees or architectural features, and 2 to 4 accent lights for flower beds or focal points. The backyard may need another 8 to 15 fixtures for patio areas, pathways, and trees. The goal is to create pools of light and shadow, not to flood the entire yard. Over-lighting looks unnatural and wastes energy. A design consultation helps get the count right.
Do landscape lights add value to my Texas home?
Yes, professionally installed landscape lighting can add two to four percent to a home's perceived value according to the American Society of Landscape Architects. Beyond dollar value, it dramatically improves curb appeal, which makes a strong first impression on potential buyers. In Texas, where outdoor living is a major lifestyle feature, well-lit patios, walkways, and gardens extend the usability of your outdoor spaces into the evening hours year-round.
How long do LED landscape lights last?
Quality LED landscape fixtures have a rated lifespan of 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If your landscape lights run six hours per night, that translates to roughly 18 to 23 years before the LEDs significantly dim. The transformer and wiring can last even longer with proper installation. Choose fixtures from reputable brands with brass, copper, or marine-grade stainless steel housings to withstand Texas heat, UV exposure, and occasional flooding from heavy storms.
Can I install landscape lighting myself?
Low-voltage landscape lighting is one of the more DIY-friendly outdoor projects because 12V systems pose no shock hazard. However, professional installation ensures proper transformer sizing, correct wire gauge for the run length to avoid voltage drop, optimal fixture placement for aesthetic effect, and waterproof connections that survive Texas weather. If you need a new outdoor GFCI outlet for the transformer or want line-voltage fixtures, a licensed electrician is required.
