Does your home disappear after sunset? Laymance Lighting is a Houston landscape lighting and outdoor lighting specialist, designing and installing custom systems for homes across Greater Houston. We light the architecture, trees, paths, and patios that make your property special, so your home looks beautiful from the street, feels safer at night, and gives your family a backyard they actually use after dark.

Outdoor Lighting for Safety
Dark pathways and hidden corners make any property feel less safe. Well-lit paths, steps, and entryways prevent trips, deter intruders, and highlight entry points – without harsh glare that bothers your neighbors. Our licensed electricians make sure every system is safe and code-compliant.
Outdoor Lighting for How You Live
What if your backyard was the favorite place for family and friends to unwind? We design custom low-voltage landscape lighting that extends your living space outdoors, bringing warmth and visibility to patios, gardens, pools, and walkways. Every installation is designed around how you actually live – not just how your space looks.
Recent Project: Richmond, Texas
For this Richmond homeowner, we lit the front of the home with color-changing uplights that wash the brick, frame the arched entry, and highlight the garage columns. Out back, string lighting crisscrosses the patio and pool, with warm uplighting on the trees along the fence line. The family can choose a clean white for everyday or switch colors from their phone in seconds.
Color When You Want It, Classic White Every Night
Color-changing landscape lighting gives you one system for every season. Keep a warm, elegant white most nights, then switch to red and green for Christmas, warm golds for Diwali, red, white, and blue for the Fourth of July, or your team’s colors on game day – all from your phone.

Landscape Lighting FAQs
How much does landscape lighting cost in Houston?
Every property is different. Cost depends on the size of your yard, how many trees, walls, paths, and features you want lit, the fixtures you choose, and whether you want color-changing control. We give you a clear quote after a free consultation and design walk-through.
What is low-voltage landscape lighting?
Low-voltage lighting runs through a transformer that steps your home’s power down to a safer, lower voltage for outdoor fixtures. It is the standard for residential landscape lighting because it is safer around landscaping and people, efficient with LED fixtures, and flexible to adjust as your plants grow.
Will outdoor lighting raise my electric bill much?
Modern LED landscape fixtures use a fraction of the energy of older halogen lights, and timers or smart controls keep them on only when you want them. Most homeowners are surprised by how little a well-designed LED system costs to run.
Can I change the colors of my outdoor lights?
Yes. We install color-changing landscape and string lighting that you control from your phone. Use warm white every night, then switch to holiday or game-day colors whenever you like. See our holiday lighting page for ideas.
Do you repair or maintain existing landscape lighting?
Yes. We service and update outdoor lighting systems, including fixtures that have stopped working, wiring damaged by landscaping or storms, and older halogen systems ready for an LED upgrade. Ask about our maintenance and safety service.
