The Experts Behind Every Floor

Your landscaping
Just better

Landscape
Lighting Design

Good lighting starts with a plan. We walk your property after dark, layer light for depth, and choose what to leave in shadow. You’ll see a night demo before anything gets buried. Free estimates.

Professional
Lighting Installation

This is where a design holds up or falls apart. We trench without tearing up turf, seal every splice, and aim each fixture by hand. Then we test the zones with you before we’re done for the day.

Custom
Lighting Design

Not sure what your yard needs? Our lighting consultant designs first and sells second, whether you want a full master plan or a second opinion before you buy. Honest advice, and the estimate’s free.

Tree
Uplighting

Mature oaks in Coles Crossing deserve better than a glare bomb at the base. We set well lights back from the trunk, pick beam angles for the canopy, and keep it root-safe. You’ll see the difference.

Moonlighting &
Tree Downlighting

Light that filters down like real moonlight through the branches. Up in The Woodlands canopy we mount shielded fixtures high, sometimes 25 feet, on a boom lift that reaches what ladders can’t.

Pool Area
Lighting

Pools disappear at night without help. We light decks, coping, and planting for safety and glow, keeping every fixture low-voltage. We’ll refer underwater electrical to a licensed electrician.

Landscape
Lighting Repair

Half the yard went dark overnight? We trace cut wires, corroded splices, fire-ant damage, and failed transformers, then we’ll give you an honest repair-or-replace answer before touching a thing.

Pergola
Lighting

Built a beautiful pergola? We light it with rafter downlights, festoon runs, and beam accents so it becomes the best room in the house after dark. We’re lighting only, no construction. Free estimates.

Outdoor
String Lighting

Patio nights beat sagging strands. We hang commercial-grade bistro lights on tensioned cable and cedar poles, add a dimmer, and space the bulbs even, so they’ll stay put through Texas storms.

Pathway & Walkway
Lighting

Guests shouldn’t have to guess where the walk turns. We space path lights so the ground glows soft, not like a runway, and set stakes that shrug off mowers and trimmers. Free estimates, no trip fee.

Architectural
Lighting

Two-story brick and stone deserve a stage. We wash and graze the facade, frame the gables and columns, and balance it against the landscape. Our boom lift handles tall walls most crews can’t reach.

Fence
Lighting

Long fence lines frame the big lots in Rocky Creek Estates. We wash cedar pickets, cap the posts, and plan wire gauge for long runs so voltage won’t drop off at the far end. Free estimates, no fee.

Did you know?

The lights washing up your oak trees run on just 12 volts, the same as a car battery. That’s why low-voltage landscape lighting is safe to bury a few inches under a yard where kids and dogs play.

Questions & Answers

What does a landscape lighting system include?

A landscape lighting system in Hockley includes fixtures, a low-voltage transformer, buried cable, and connectors, all tied to timers or photocells. Firehouse designs uplights for trees, path lights for walkways, and accent lights for the facade as one layered plan. Everything runs on 12 volts, so it’s safe around kids, pets, and shovels. We size the transformer and wire runs to your property.

Are brass and copper fixtures worth the extra cost in Hockley?

For most Hockley yards, yes, because heat, UV, and humidity destroy cheap aluminum and plastic fast. Brass and copper hold up for years and only look better as they patina. The upfront cost is higher, but you replace them far less often than big-box fixtures. Firehouse stocks and installs quality fixtures built for this climate.

Why do my landscape lights keep tilting or losing their aim?

Soil movement is usually the cause around Hockley. The sandy loam over clay here drains slowly and shifts as it wets and dries, so ground-staked fixtures heel over and drift off aim within a season or two. Firehouse re-levels and re-aims fixtures and uses drainage-aware staking to slow it down. A maintenance visit brings the whole system back to true.

Can you repair a landscape lighting system someone else installed?

Yes. Firehouse repairs and takes over existing systems all over Hockley, no matter who installed them. We trace faults from cut wires, corroded splices, fire-ant damage, failed transformers, and water in the sockets. After diagnosing the fault, we give you an honest repair-or-replace answer. Free estimates apply to repair work too.

What is tree uplighting and how does it work?

Tree uplighting places low-voltage fixtures at the base of a tree to wash light up the trunk and into the canopy. Around Hockley, mature live oaks and tall pines are ideal for it, each lit a little differently. Firehouse aims fixtures to show off bark and branches without glaring into windows or at neighbors. Root-safe placement keeps the tree healthy.

Do low-voltage landscape lights need an electrician in Texas?

No. Low-voltage landscape lighting runs on 12 volts, which Texas exempts from electrician licensing. Firehouse is insured and installs the full 12-volt system, from transformer to fixtures, for Hockley homes. If a job needs a new 120-volt circuit, we hand that part to a licensed electrician. That line keeps your project safe and by the book.

How often should landscape lighting be serviced in the Houston area?

Once a year is a good rhythm for landscape lighting around Hockley, with a check after winter. Slow-draining local soil tilts fixtures, humidity corrodes connections, and lenses cloud over time. Firehouse re-aims fixtures, cleans lenses, checks seals, and replaces any dead lamps on a tune-up visit. Regular service keeps the whole system bright and even.

Can old halogen landscape lights be converted to LED?

Converting halogen to LED is one of our most common upgrades around Hockley. It cuts energy use and brightens a dim yard, and Firehouse matches color across old and new fixtures. We recheck the transformer load after the swap so nothing’s overloaded. A quick audit shows what converts and what needs replacing.

What is moonlighting and how is it different from uplighting?

Moonlighting mounts fixtures high in a tree to cast soft, dappled light down through the branches, like real moonlight. Uplighting works from the ground up, while moonlighting works from the canopy down, and around Hockley the two pair beautifully. Firehouse uses its boom lift to set downlights safely up in mature oaks and pines. Together they give a yard depth you can’t get from path lights alone.

Will landscape lighting help with security on a dark Hockley lot?

Yes. Layered low-voltage lighting removes the dark corners and long shadows that invite trouble on big Hockley lots. Firehouse lights driveways, entries, and the sides of the house without the harsh glare of a floodlight. Many rural Hockley streets have little streetlighting, so this makes a real difference. Line-voltage floodlights and motion sensors we refer to a licensed electrician.
