Your landscape looks incredible in daylight. Once the sun sets, does it still look like the same property? Most outdoor spaces lose their shape and detail after dark, even with a stunning daytime design.
​
Scapes Incorporated changes that.​
​
The same architects who designed your landscape also plan your landscape outdoor lighting in Dallas, TX, so every path, tree, and façade stays true to the original vision after sunset.

Our Outdoor Lighting Services for Dallas Properties
Landscape lighting covers more ground than most homeowners expect. Architecture, trees, water, paths, and entertaining spaces all need their own approach. Here’s what’s involved, and why each piece matters for your property.
ARCHITECTURAL & FACADE UPLIGHTING
Highlights columns, stonework, and roofline details your architect specified. Shows your home's structure the way it was designed to be seen, not flattened into a silhouette.
TREE CANOPY LIGHTING
Up-lighting and down-lighting for mature trees and specimen plantings. Preserves the natural focal points your landscape design was built around.
PATH, WALKWAY & DRIVEWAY LIGHTING
Low-voltage fixtures along steps, entries, and driveways. Safer, easier navigation of the property after dark for you and your guests.
WATER FEATURE ILLUMINATION
Lighting integrated into pools, ponds, and fountains. Extends the visual impact of your water feature into the evening instead of losing it at sunset.
GARDEN & ACCENT LIGHTING
Focused lighting on planting beds and design focal points. Keeps the finer details of your landscape design visible after hours, not just during the day.
PATIO, PERGOLA & STRING LIGHTING
Ambient lighting built for entertaining areas. Creates a usable outdoor-living space for gatherings that run past sunset.
SMART & AUTOMATED LIGHTING SYSTEMS
Full integration with your home automation setup. One app or panel controls the whole property instead of separate switches for every zone.
DISCREET SECURITY LIGHTING
Motion-sensor fixtures worked into the existing design. Added coverage at entries and perimeters without fixtures that stand out or clash with the landscape.
What's the Process for Adding Outdoor Lighting to an Existing Scapes Landscape?
WE WALK YOUR PROPERTY
Your designer walks your yard at dusk. We point out the specific trees, water features, and paths that should be lit. We don’t guess.
YOU GET A CUSTOM PLAN
Our in-house architects design a court that matches your home's style, then hand you blueprints and renderings to review.
OUR CREW INSTALLS IT
Put on an Oculus headset and walk through your future court at true scale, before we break ground.
WE MAINTAIN IT
You get one complete plan covering every detail, then the same team installs it

​
As one Scapes client, Jon Garrelts, said about his project, "the investment I made in their services really does pay off, if you are after both prompt and long-lasting results, hiring this company really will be the right choice." That same team and standard is behind your lighting design.
How Does Landscape Lighting Keep Your Dallas Property Beautiful After Dark?
CURB APPEAL AFTER SUNSET
Your architecture, mature trees, and water features can hold their presence after dark, not just by day. A lighting plan built around those features keeps your property photo ready.
CONFIDENT FOOTING AFTER DARK
Steps, driveways, and entry paths change once the sun goes down. Lighting placed where you actually walk helps you and your guests move around with confidence, night after night.
ONE TEAM, ONE VISION
Because Scapes designed your landscape, we already know which trees and features deserve light. Your lighting plan builds on that same vision, so nothing gets reinterpreted from scratch.
You want your landscape to look as stunning after dark as it does in daylight.
What Makes Scapes' Lighting Systems More Reliable Than a Standalone Vendor?
Your own landscape architects design your lighting plan instead of a new contractor learning your yard from scratch, so the tree you planted as a focal point stays the focal point after dark.
We install premium LED fixtures built for Texas heat, humidity, and hard freezes, so you're not budgeting for a repeat installation next summer.
Your outdoor lighting connects to the smart home system you already use, like Alexa or your security panel, so turning on the patio lights doesn't mean opening a separate app.
We use solid brass and copper fixtures instead of aluminum or plastic, so they still look sharp in year ten, not just the first season.
The result is simple. Your property is usable, beautiful, and secure from day into night. You get the full value from your landscape. The people who built your yard make sure of it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Outdoor Lighting Increase My Monthly Energy Bills?
You're right to worry. Old, bright lights can definitely run up your bill. Putting it off means your yard stays dark and unused every night. The good news is, modern lights use very little power. A good plan puts light only where you need it, like on paths or a tree. This way, you get the light without a big surprise on your electricity bill.
Can Landscape Lighting Be Installed Without Damaging My Finished Landscape?
It's a fair fear. You don't want someone digging up your new plants or cutting an irrigation line. Fixing that kind of damage is expensive and ruins your yard. Professional installers are careful. They use small wires and plan the exact path for them to avoid what's already there. This protects your investment while adding the new lights.
How Can I Avoid Lighting That Looks Too Bright Or Unnatural?
Nobody wants their yard to look like a parking lot. Bad lighting is harsh, creates shadows in the wrong places, and makes your home feel uncomfortable. The fix is a thoughtful design. It uses softer light in specific spots—on walkways, driveways, and your home's best details. The goal is to make your property feel inviting, not lit up for surgery.
Is Smart Outdoor Lighting Worth Adding If I Already Have Home Automation?
It's frustrating. You have a smart home, but now you need another app just for the outside lights. They don't talk to each other, so you're juggling remotes. A professionally designed system connects to what you already have. Your outdoor lights become part of your existing routines for security or convenience, so everything works together from one place.
Why should I hire a professional instead of making outdoor lighting a DIY project?
A DIY project may seem like a way to save money, but planning mistakes can lead to uneven lighting, unnecessary repairs, or electrical issues. Correcting those problems later often costs more than getting the installation right from the beginning. Professional Outdoor Lighting Installation follows established lighting installation practices, accounts for the circuit breaker panel, electrical supply, and electrical service, and delivers dependable landscape lighting systems designed for North Texas conditions.
