A professional, low-voltage LED landscape lighting system in DFW generally ranges from $2,500 to $7,500. A fundamental 10-to-15 fixture package for a standard front yard starts around $2,000, while comprehensive estate lighting covering both front and backyard architectural features can reach $10,000+.
We do not use solar path lights or big-box store kits. True architectural lighting requires hardwired, brass or copper fixtures connected to a smart transformer, providing reliable illumination that enhances security and evening aesthetics.
What drives lighting cost
Your investment is primarily based on the number of fixtures and the complexity of the wiring.
- Premium brass/copper fixtures: Path lights, uplights, and wash lights. More fixtures and more areas to light raise the total.
- Smart transformers: The "brain" of the system, allowing for zone control and smartphone scheduling.
- Specialty lighting: Hardscape lighting under retaining walls or submersible lights for water features adds to the scope.
