Landscape Lighting
Extend your outdoor living hours and enhance your property with professional landscape lighting that combines beauty with security.
Transform Your Landscape After Dark
Your landscape does not have to disappear when the sun goes down. Professional landscape lighting extends your outdoor living hours, increases safety and security, and highlights your property's best features. The right lighting turns a nice yard into a stunning nighttime environment you can enjoy year-round.
In Castro Valley, landscape lighting serves multiple purposes. It lets you use your patio or deck after dark on cool summer evenings. It lights pathways so guests can navigate your property safely. It highlights architectural features and mature trees that deserve attention. And it provides security lighting that makes your home less attractive to intruders.
Professional Lighting Design and Installation
Good landscape lighting requires careful planning. We design lighting systems that create ambiance without glare. Fixtures are positioned to highlight features, not blind people walking nearby. We layer different types of lighting for depth and interest. Path lights ensure safe walking. Uplights accent trees and architectural elements. Downlights create moonlight effects from tree canopies.

LED Technology That Saves Energy and Money
Modern LED landscape lighting is a game changer compared to old halogen systems. LEDs use a fraction of the electricity, produce virtually no heat, and last for years without bulb replacements. Your lighting system can run every night without adding much to your electric bill. Plus, LED fixtures come in various color temperatures so you can choose warm, inviting light or cooler, brighter illumination.
We install quality LED fixtures designed for outdoor use in California conditions. Cheap fixtures corrode quickly in our weather or fail within a year. Quality fixtures last for decades with minimal maintenance. We also install proper low-voltage wiring that handles the load safely and efficiently.
Smart Controls and Automation
Modern landscape lighting systems can be automated and controlled from your phone. Timers turn lights on at sunset and off at a set time. Smart controllers let you adjust brightness or turn specific zones on and off remotely. You can set different scenes for everyday use versus entertaining. Automation means your lighting works perfectly without you having to remember to flip switches.
Our team at GreenRoots Castro Valley Landscaping integrates landscape lighting with your overall outdoor design. If you are installing new patios or walkways, we wire lighting during construction so everything is hidden. If you are doing a complete landscape design, we plan lighting as part of the overall project for a cohesive result.
