Professional Landscape Lighting in San Leandro

Your landscape should not disappear when the sun goes down. Outdoor lighting extends the hours you can enjoy your yard, improves safety and security, and transforms your property into something magical at night. The right lighting makes pathways visible, highlights architectural features, and creates ambiance for outdoor entertaining.

At OnTheDot San Leandro Landscaping, we design and install landscape lighting systems that are beautiful, functional, and energy-efficient. Whether you want subtle accent lighting for trees and plants or full illumination for outdoor living areas, we create custom lighting plans that bring your landscape to life after dark. Our low-voltage LED systems are safe, affordable to operate, and built to last through Bay Area weather.

What We Light Up

Every property has unique features worth highlighting. Here are the lighting solutions we provide:

  • Path lighting for walkways, driveways, and steps
  • Uplighting for trees, architectural features, and focal points
  • Deck and patio lighting for outdoor living spaces
  • Downlighting from trees or structures for moonlight effect
  • Garden bed accent lighting to showcase plantings
  • Water feature lighting for ponds, fountains, and pools
  • Security lighting for dark areas around your property

Modern LED Lighting Technology

Today landscape lighting uses energy-efficient LED technology that lasts 20 years or more while using a fraction of the electricity of old halogen bulbs. LEDs stay cool to the touch, produce better color quality, and rarely need bulb replacements. Most systems run on low-voltage power, which is safer around water and easier to install than standard electrical wiring.

We design lighting plans that layer different types of fixtures to create depth and interest. Uplighting showcases your favorite trees and makes them glow from within. Path lights provide safety without being harsh or bright. Downlights create natural-looking ambient light for seating areas. Smart controls let you adjust brightness, set schedules, and even change lighting scenes from your phone. The result is a lighting system that is as functional as it is beautiful, with minimal energy costs and almost zero maintenance.

Why Add Landscape Lighting

Outdoor lighting improves your quality of life at home. You can use your patio and yard in the evening for dining, entertaining, or relaxing. Kids can play outside longer, especially during winter months when it gets dark early. Well-lit pathways and steps prevent trips and falls. Security lighting deters intruders and makes you feel safer.

Landscape lighting also dramatically improves curb appeal and property value. A thoughtfully lit home stands out in the neighborhood and looks more expensive than it is. Real estate professionals consistently report that outdoor lighting helps homes sell faster and for higher prices. The investment typically returns 50 to 100 percent of the installation cost in added home value. Perfect lighting shows off the hard work you have put into your landscape. Combine lighting with our hardscaping services to create stunning outdoor entertainment spaces, and add professional landscaping to give your lighting system beautiful features to illuminate.
