Landscape Lighting Installation in Tarrant County

Deck, Patio, and Pergola Lighting
Extend outdoor living hours with integrated step, post, and under-cap lighting for warm, comfortable ambiance. We zone dining, lounge, and cooking areas so you can brighten activity zones and dim relaxation spaces.

Security Lighting
Increase visibility at entries, driveways, and side yards with discreet fixtures aimed for coverage rather than glare. Motion or schedule controls improve safety while keeping the look refined.

Custom Lighting Designs
Every plan is site specific. We balance vertical and horizontal light, layer techniques for depth, and coordinate finishes and color temperature so the system complements your home and landscape.

How we design

• Warm color temperature in the 2700–3000K range for natural tones on stone, siding, and foliage

• Glare control using shields, louvers, and precise aiming to keep light on target

• Layered techniques such as grazing, washing, and silhouetting to add depth and interest

• Zoning and dimming so patios, paths, and focal trees can be controlled independently

• Dark-sky awareness with downlighting where possible and tight beam control to minimize spill

Installation standards

• Durable, energy-efficient fixtures in brass or architectural-grade aluminum with sealed optics

• Proper wiring methods using hub or T-connections, waterproof gel connectors, and correct burial depth to limit voltage drop and simplify future service

• Sized transformers with surge protection, secondary breakers, and clean labeling for each zone

• Code-compliant power on GFCI-protected circuits with neat conduit runs where required

• Clean finishes with concealed fixtures and restored mulch or turf for a tidy result

Maintenance and care

• Periodic lens cleaning and re-aiming after storms or seasonal growth

• Voltage and load checks to keep brightness consistent as the landscape matures

• Quick replacements for any damaged fixtures or chewed wiring

• Optional annual service plans that keep everything looking crisp year-round

From planning and placement to wiring, controls, and ongoing care, Ellis Landscape Services delivers landscape lighting that is beautiful, safe, and built to last.

Pathway Lighting

Safe, well-lit walkways and driveways that prevent trip hazards after dark
We design pathway lighting to put light where feet land, not in eyes or windows. Fixtures are spaced for even pools of illumination along sidewalks, entries, driveways, and garden paths. Aiming and height are set to clearly define edges, steps, and changes in grade so guests can navigate confidently at night.

Energy-efficient, low-voltage LED systems for long-lasting performance
All systems use low-voltage transformers and high-efficiency LEDs to reduce energy draw while delivering consistent brightness. We size transformers to current and future load, balance runs to prevent voltage drop, and select LEDs with warm color temperature for a natural look on stone, siding, and foliage.

Weather-resistant fixtures built to withstand Texas heat and storms
Fixtures are constructed from brass or architectural-grade aluminum with sealed optics, UV-stable finishes, and stainless hardware. Connections are waterproofed, wire is buried to the correct depth, and valve boxes are placed for easy service. The result is a system that performs through summer heat, heavy rain, and seasonal wind.

How we design your pathway lighting

• Fixture styles matched to your architecture: modern bollards, classic path lights, recessed step or paver lights

• Glare control using shields and louvers so light lands on the path, not into eyes

• Layered layout that ties paths to entries, driveways, and focal beds for a continuous, welcoming route

• Zoning and dimming so you can brighten high-traffic areas while keeping garden paths softer

Installation standards you can count on

• Hub or T-method wiring with gel-filled, waterproof connectors for reliable power distribution

• Proper burial depth and neat conduit where required to protect wire runs

• Clean edges and restoration of mulch, turf, and hardscape joints after install

• Labeled transformer taps and circuits to simplify future service

Maintenance made simple

• Periodic lens cleaning and re-aiming after growth or storms

• Load and voltage checks to keep brightness uniform as the landscape matures

• Quick swap of any damaged fixtures or chewed wire with matching components

Where pathway lighting shines
Entry walks, front approaches, garden paths between beds, driveway borders, and step transitions. Pathway lighting provides both form and function, ensuring guests move safely while adding an inviting glow. It is often paired with our landscape design work to emphasize bed lines, frame entryways, and guide the eye to focal features.

How we design your pathway lighting

Fixture styles matched to your architecture
We select forms and finishes that complement your home and hardscape: modern bollards for clean lines, classic path lights for traditional entries, and recessed step or paver lights where stairs or elevation changes need definition. Fixtures are typically set 12–24 inches tall with warm 2700–3000K LEDs so stone, siding, and foliage read naturally. Finish colors are chosen to blend with trim, metalwork, and landscape elements for a cohesive look.

Glare control using shields and louvers
Good pathway lighting is comfortable to the eye. We position fixtures a safe setback from path edges, aim beams downward, and add internal shields or louvers to keep light on the walking surface—not in windows or eyes. Where needed, we use frosted lenses, rear cutoffs, or baffles along driveways and neighboring sightlines, following dark-sky–friendly practices to minimize spill.

Layered layout for a continuous, welcoming route
Rather than a “runway” of dots, we stagger fixtures and size beam spreads to create overlapping pools of light. Spacing typically ranges from 8–14 feet depending on lumen output, path width, and surface reflectance. We tie paths to entries, address markers, and focal beds, and blend with nearby uplights on trees or architectural features so the approach feels connected and three-dimensional. Steps and grade changes get dedicated step or riser lights for safety.

Zoning and dimming for flexibility
Circuits are grouped so high-traffic routes (front walk, driveway approach) can run brighter, while garden paths remain softer. We design for independent control via transformer taps, in-line dimmers, or smart controllers with scenes (for example, “Evening,” “Entertaining,” “Late Night”). Typical target levels are 20–40 lumens on pathways, with gentle transitions at edges to avoid harsh contrasts.
