Outdoor and Landscape Lighting
Transform Your Evenings Outdoors
Your outdoor space shouldn’t disappear when the sun goes down. Professional landscape lighting extends the usability of your property, highlights architectural and natural features, and creates a welcoming atmosphere that makes evenings outdoors as enjoyable as your days. At Rootwell, we design and install lighting systems that balance aesthetics, functionality, and energy efficiency.
Enhanced Safety & Security
Well-lit pathways, steps, and entry points reduce trip hazards and deter unwanted visitors while improving overall property security.
Extended Outdoor Living
Continue enjoying your patio, deck, and yard well into the evening for dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing outdoors.

Showcase mature trees, water features, architectural details, and plantings that would otherwise disappear after sunset.
Perfect For These Situations
Professional landscape lighting transforms how you experience and enjoy your property after sunset. Here’s when lighting services make the biggest difference.
Dark, Unsafe Pathways
Navigating your property after dark feels unsafe with invisible steps, unlit paths, and trip hazards lurking in darkness.
Unused Evening Outdoor Spaces
Beautiful patios and yards sit empty after sunset because inadequate lighting makes them uncomfortable and uninviting.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does lighting installation take?
Most residential landscape lighting projects are completed in one to three days depending on system size and complexity. Simple pathway lighting for smaller properties might be finished in a single day, while comprehensive systems covering multiple zones and features require more time. We provide realistic timelines during the design phase and work efficiently to minimize disruption.
Will installation damage my existing landscape?
We take great care to protect your plants and lawn during installation. Underground wiring is installed using specialized equipment that creates narrow trenches that close and heal quickly. We work around existing plantings, restore disturbed areas, and clean up thoroughly. Most installation evidence disappears within a few weeks as grass and ground covers recover.
Do I need to be home during installation?
Not necessarily. Once we’ve reviewed the plan with you and work begins, our crew can typically proceed without you being present. However, we appreciate being able to reach you if questions arise and recommend being available for the final walkthrough and system training.
Can lighting be added to an existing landscape?
Absolutely. Landscape lighting is one of the easiest upgrades to add to established properties. We design systems that work around mature plants, existing hardscapes, and other features. Adding lighting enhances landscapes you’ve already invested in without requiring redesign or major changes.
How much does landscape lighting cost?
Lighting costs vary based on property size, number of fixtures, control system features, and installation complexity. Basic pathway lighting for smaller yards typically starts around a few thousand dollars, while comprehensive systems for larger properties with multiple zones can be more extensive. We provide detailed estimates during your free consultation that break down all costs clearly.
