Landscape lighting, wired into the build.
Low-voltage and architectural lighting designed around how you use the yard after dark — with buried runs, right-sized transformers, and salt-air-rated fixtures. Trusted in San Diego County for over forty years.

Light changes how you use the yard.
A yard you love in daylight can go dark and unused at six o’clock. Lighting is what gives you the space back after dark — the steps you can take without thinking, the path to the door, the table you can still sit at, the corner that turns into a place to gather. We start by walking the property at night and working out how you want to move through it and where you spend time, then light for that. The fixture count follows the use, not the other way around.
From there it is layers. Soft light on the paths and steps so no one misses a grade in the dark. Up-lighting and grazing on the walls, trees, and entry so the space has depth instead of a flat wash. Zones you can dial up for a dinner and down for a quiet night, on a timer so it takes care of itself. We plan all of it to the property, not to a fixture catalog.
Because we run the whole build, the wiring goes in while the ground is open rather than getting stapled on after, and near the coast we spec corrosion-rated fixtures and sealed connections that survive the salt air. The result is cleaner, safer, and lasts. We have wired it this way since 1984, and we stand behind the work.
What’s included.
- Low-voltage path and step lighting routed where people walk after dark
- Architectural up-lighting and grazing on walls, columns, and entry features
- Tree and canopy lighting, moonlighting downward from height for soft cover light
- Hardscape and pool-area lighting integrated into walls, steps, coping, and seat ledges
- Transformer sizing and zoning set to the full load with headroom to expand
- Smart and timer control, dusk-to-dawn photocells, app and zone scheduling
- Corrosion-rated brass and copper fixtures with sealed connections for coastal salt air
- Conduit and wiring buried during the build — before the hardscape and planting go in
Our process.
Site & layout
We walk the property after dark, find what is worth lighting and what should stay dark, and map the paths, steps, and features. We flag where conduit and buried runs need to go before anything is paved.
Zones & load
You see the lighting plan before we trench. Fixture placement and beam type get drawn alongside the electrical: transformer sizing, zoning, and the wire runs the layout requires, with headroom to add later.
Conduit to fixture
Conduit, buried runs, transformer, zones, fixtures, controls. The runs go in before the hardscape when we are building it. Every phase runs in-house, in order, with one crew accountable for the one before it.
Aiming & warranty
We aim every fixture at night, set the timers and scenes, and walk you through running it. Then our workmanship warranty is ours — on the wiring, the connections, and the fixtures we set.
Why bring us your lighting.
Forty-two years, same owner
Darren Earl has been wiring outdoor lighting in San Diego County since 1984. He has watched which fixtures hold up on coastal lots and which seize in three seasons, and which buried runs survive the years. The owner prices the job and has carried the ten-year structural liability on it for four decades. His in-house crew, not a rotating cast of subs, builds it.
One team, no subcontractors
Because we run the whole build, the lighting is designed into it — the conduit goes in while we have the ground open, not after a separate sub shows up to a finished yard with a trencher. One contract, one crew, no wire stapled across a wall because the paving was already down.
Clean record, workmanship behind it
Forty-two years, zero construction complaints on record, and we carry the same standard into the wiring. Sealed connections, properly sized transformers, corrosion-rated fixtures, and a workmanship warranty on what we install. One company is responsible for all of it — you call us.
Lighting questions, answered straight.
Tell us about the lighting.
Bring us the property — a finished yard that needs light, or a build where the runs should go in now. We come look at it after dark if it helps, lay out the zones, and give you a fixed-price concept. No charge for the visit.
