Please note that in some instances, conditions do not permit one or more of these features.
Our Unique Process
We believe in offering the best service to our clients. That’s why we take a personal approach to helping clients choose a lighting design that’s right for them. Before we begin work, we will sit down with you to discuss lighting direction, reach, and range. We will then review your fixture options and suggest those we believe to be most effective and complementary to your property. All of our fixtures are solid brass and interchangeable, so you know you’re getting the best option on the market no matter which style you pick.
Your Vision Guides Our Design
Each customer is unique, and so is each property. That’s why the first step in our design process is a FREE Consultation with you to determine your wants, needs, and concerns for your outdoor lighting design. During this consultation, our designers will work with you to identify areas on your property that will benefit from outdoor lighting. We will offer suggestions and create a plan that fits your vision.

Considering Outdoor Lighting?
Ask yourself the following questions to guide you in creating your perfect vision.
How are your outdoor areas to be used?
Do you plan to have guests over? Does your family plan on grilling out weekly? Perhaps, your children would like to play freely and openly in your yard after school. Houston Lightscapes’ designers can create a lighting plan that works around your family’s needs. You just need to identify what those needs are and we’ll work with you to secure them.
Which “dark spots” would you like illuminated?
Look around your property. Are there certain corners or areas that could benefit from additional light? Are there areas where you would like to feel safer? Identifying these dark spots can create a property that feels, overall, safer and livable.
Which entries are used most?
Where does your family enter your property or home? Adding external lighting near your entryways can create a feeling of security and direct people around your property. Figure out which entryways are used frequently so that outdoor lighting can guide guests easily to them when they visit your home.
What are your favorite features of your architecture and your landscaping?
Deciding which features on your property that you want to highlight is crucial to completing your outdoor lighting vision. From water features to plants and trees, which elements of your home add to the aesthetic you’ve envisioned? Architectural features on your property, such as an elaborate window or decorative shutters can be brought to life with the use of strategically placed lighting.
