Construction timing
Before caps, stone, or concrete are finished, we can coordinate fixture locations, sleeves, cable paths, and power with the rest of the work.

Hardscape Lighting for Steps, Walls, and Outdoor Living
Built-in lighting helps people see steps and edges while giving patios, walls, pool decks, and outdoor kitchens a finished nighttime look. Plan it before the stone or concrete is complete and the fixtures can feel like they were always meant to be there.
Light where you need it, without bulky fixtures.
Built in—not bolted on

Steps, seat walls, retaining walls, and columns
- 02
Patios, pool decks, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens
- 03
New construction, landscape renovations, and select retrofits
What makes the difference
The cleanest hardscape lighting is planned before the final finish
Early decisions keep wires hidden, fixtures comfortable at eye level, and future service from becoming a demolition project.
Comfort at eye level
Light near seats and steps needs careful brightness and shielding so it helps people see without shining directly at them.
Future access
Fixtures and connections eventually need service. We avoid burying important components where they cannot be reached without unnecessary damage.
What to expect
Bring us in before the caps, stone, or concrete are finished
Contact us while the patio, wall, pool deck, or outdoor kitchen is still being planned. We can coordinate fixture locations and wire paths with the builder or landscape contractor.
For an existing surface, we check access behind or below the material, drilling options, cable routes, and the amount of finish repair a retrofit would require.
Talk through your projectConstruction timing
Plan hardscape lighting before the patio or wall is finished
Fixture locations, sleeves, cable paths, access, and power can be discussed with the hardscape plan.
A retrofit starts with finished material, available access, drilling options, wire routing, and acceptable repair work.
Common questions
Construction timing, retrofits, and shared equipment
Can lighting be added to an existing wall or patio?
Sometimes. The answer depends on the material, access behind or below it, available wire routes, and how much finish work would be needed.
When should hardscape lighting be planned?
Ideally before the final caps, masonry, or concrete are installed. That gives everyone more options for clean placement and concealed wiring.
Can hardscape and landscape lighting share a system?
They often can, but transformer capacity, zones, cable runs, and controls need to be reviewed as one design.
