As a local landscape contractor in Magnolia, TX, we’ve seen how the right lighting setup completely changes how a property looks and functions after dark. At Myers Landscape, we help homeowners bring out the best in their outdoor spaces with customized, energy-efficient lighting systems that add value, safety, and beauty.
We design and install complete lighting systems for front yards, backyards, gardens, patios, walkways, driveways, and architectural features. Whether you want to highlight a tree line, cast a warm glow across a stone path, or add definition to your home’s exterior, we make it happen with precision and planning.
Our Landscape Lighting Approach
We approach every lighting job with one goal: to improve the experience and usability of your outdoor space. Here’s how we work:
1. On-Site Walkthrough
We start by visiting your property in Magnolia or the surrounding area. We assess light levels, focal points, foot traffic flow, and how your home sits in relation to the landscape.
2. Custom Design Plan
We map out lighting zones based on your property layout and your preferences. The design includes fixture selection, bulb type, wiring route, and control systems.
3. Full Installation
Once the design is approved, we install your lighting system with clean, minimally disruptive methods. We bury wiring properly, conceal fixtures when needed, and ensure uniform lighting across the area.
4. Adjustment and Tuning
After the installation, we come back after dark to fine-tune beam direction, height, and brightness so the final look meets expectations in real lighting conditions.
Lighting Types We Install
Pathway Lighting
We use low-profile fixtures to define walkways, driveways, and garden paths with even, glare-free light. This increases safety and gives a clean, finished appearance to your property.
Uplighting
This type of lighting casts light upward, ideal for highlighting tree trunks, columns, or architectural features. We use adjustable fixtures to get the angle and intensity right.
Downlighting
Mounted in trees or structures, downlights create a natural, moonlight-like effect on the ground below. These are great for patios and gathering areas.
Accent Lighting
We use small, directional fixtures to draw attention to features like fountains, statues, or shrubs.
Wall Washing
For broader coverage, wall washers throw wide beams that evenly light up house façades or fence lines, avoiding harsh shadows or hot spots.
Step and Deck Lighting
We install fixtures directly into wood, stone, or composite materials to safely light steps, rails, and deck surfaces.
LED Systems: Long-Lasting and Efficient
We primarily use LED systems in our projects. They last longer than halogen, require less maintenance, and reduce energy costs.
- Typical LED bulb lifespan: 30,000–50,000 hours
- Energy use: Up to 80% less than traditional bulbs
- Brightness: Adjustable lumen output
- Color temperature options: From warm white to cool daylight
Lighting Control Options
We install lighting systems that match your preferences for control and automation.
| Control Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Manual Switches | Basic on/off wall or inline switches |
| Timers | Set specific hours for the lights to turn on and off |
| Photo Sensors | Automatically activate lights at dusk and turn off at dawn |
| Smart Systems | App-controlled lighting with schedules and voice commands |
Lighting systems can be expanded or integrated with your existing smart home setup, including Google Home, Alexa, and other platforms.
Where Lighting Adds Value
Strategically placed lighting improves both the function and appearance of outdoor areas. These are the most common upgrades we perform for clients in Magnolia:
- Front Entryways: Well-lit front doors and paths help guests feel welcome and improve visibility at night.
- Driveways: Edge lighting gives depth and helps drivers stay on track, especially on curved or narrow drives.
- Trees and Landscaping Beds: We accent mature oaks, crepe myrtles, flower beds, or rock gardens.
- Fences and Retaining Walls: Continuous wash lighting helps define boundaries and gives a finished look.
- Outdoor Living Areas: Decks, firepits, kitchens, and pergolas all benefit from soft, ambient light.
Benefits of Professional Landscape Lighting
Hiring professionals to install your outdoor lighting offers clear advantages. Here’s what we deliver as part of every job:
Safety
Trip hazards like steps, uneven paths, and low walls become much easier to see at night. Lighting reduces the risk of accidents for both guests and residents.
Security
A well-lit yard is less attractive to intruders. We light vulnerable areas like side yards, gates, and driveways to discourage break-ins or vandalism.
Extended Use
Lighting extends the usable hours of patios, decks, and gardens. You can relax, entertain, or cook outdoors without needing harsh floodlights.
Property Value
Well-designed lighting systems can increase curb appeal and resale value. It’s a simple upgrade that makes a big visual difference.

- Brass path lights

- Adjustable spotlights
