Whether you’re lighting a front entry or a full backyard oasis, our designs are created to be invisible during the day — and unforgettable at night.
We begin with a complimentary on-site consultation where we walk your property and listen to your goals. Our design team blends your vision with professional lighting techniques to create a tailored plan that enhances beauty, improves safety, and anticipates future expansion—should you choose to add more lighting later.
We install only high-performance fixtures from trusted manufacturers like Haven Lighting, Clarolux, Sterling Lighting, and Lumien—including select lines that are proudly American-made and engineered to withstand harsh Midwestern climates. Many of our systems include smart features such as app control, multi-zone customization, dimming, and full RGB color options—perfect for homeowners who want both elegance and flexibility.
Where others cut corners, we core drill through stone, pavers, and hardscaping when needed to make the installation professional and like it was done when the home was built. We hide wiring and ensure fixtures are placed where they’ll create the best lighting effect. Our goal is always to make your lighting look like it was built into your home from day one. We use durable, waterproof crimp connections—not wire nuts—to deliver long-lasting reliability and protect against moisture, even through Chicagoland’s harshest weather conditions.
Your lighting system is equipped with a digital timer or smart controller to automate on/off functions based on your schedule or sunset/sunrise times. Want full control from your phone? Our app-integrated systems allow you to adjust zones, brightness, and themes with just a tap or even automated for those with a busy lifestyle.
Once your system is installed, we return at night for a personalized lighting reveal. This is where we fine-tune beam angles, adjust fixture placements, and walk you through your new system. If applicable, we’ll assist with app setup and show you how to manage everything from your phone. For long-term peace of mind, we also offer annual maintenance plans to keep your system looking and performing its best year after year.
Here’s what sets us apart:
We make the outdoor lighting process easy, efficient, and enjoyable. From the first walk-through to the final nighttime reveal, our process is structured around your schedule and satisfaction—so you always know what to expect.
We visit your property, listen to your goals, and begin exploring design possibilities tailored to your home and lifestyle.
We walk the property together and offer professional recommendations, options, and design insights to bring your vision to life.
You’ll receive a clear and complete quote—often the same day if it’s a smaller project. Larger installs may require a follow-up meeting to finalize the plan.
Once you're ready to move forward, we collect a 50% deposit and place your installation on the schedule.
Most lighting systems are installed within 1–2 days. Larger or more complex projects may take up to 5 days. Every fixture and wire is installed with care, precision, and respect for your property.
We return after dark for a full lighting walkthrough, where we fine-tune angles, adjust brightness, and help you get set up with any app-based smart controls.
Your lighting system is built to last, but we’re still here if you need us. We offer optional annual maintenance plans to ensure your lighting looks as flawless in year five as it did on day one.
