Patio & Pergola Lighting
Warm, layered lighting that turns your patio into the best room in the house after dark. We design around how you use the space, not just how it photographs.
One operator. Same person designs, installs, and maintains your system. Not a subcontractor.
Custom design. Every plan is sketched on-site for your specific property.
Clean installs. Buried cable, hidden transformers, no exposed wiring.

How it works
- Site visit and use-case conversation
We visit the space and ask how you use it: dinner parties, quiet evenings, kids playing, pool entertaining. The answer shapes every fixture decision.
- Layered lighting plan
Good outdoor living lighting uses layers: ambient overhead, task at cooking or dining surfaces, and accent at water features, planters, or architectural details. We plan all three.
- Installation and final tuning
We install and then tune the system at dusk with you present, so you can see what each zone looks like and request adjustments before we finish.
Florida patios deal with intense afternoon sun, heavy rain, and high humidity. We spec fixtures and string light systems rated for wet locations, and we pay close attention to transformer placement to keep electronics out of direct rain exposure. We also factor in your screen enclosure or open-air layout, since both change how light behaves and where fixtures should go.
Common questions
Can you integrate with my existing landscape lighting?
Yes. In most cases we can connect outdoor living zones to your existing transformer and timer, adding zones if needed. We assess your current system capacity during the site visit and let you know what is feasible without overloading it.
Do you work inside screen enclosures?
Yes. Screened lanai and pool enclosure lighting is one of our most common outdoor living projects. We route cable through the frame and use fixtures sized for the typical lower ceiling heights inside enclosures.
Can I control patio lighting from my phone?
Yes. We can integrate your outdoor living zones into a smart low-voltage controller with scene presets and app control. See our App Control service for details.
