Landscape Lighting in Meridian

Landscape Lighting Fixtures & Placement

A balanced layout uses different fixtures for different viewing angles. We select and position each fixture based on the features to be illuminated and how people move through the outdoor space.

Our landscape lighting options include:

• Path lights: These fixtures define walking routes and transitions through a yard.
• Uplights: Upward-directed light can illuminate trees, plantings, walls, and architectural elements.
• Well lights: Recessed fixtures provide illumination from ground level where site conditions support their use.
• Downlights: Fixtures mounted on elevated landscape or structural features direct light toward the ground.

We engineer water feature lighting zones separately because they’re subject to distinct electrical codes. The appropriate fixtures, wiring, and zone design depend on the specific water feature and site conditions.

Durable Components for Treasure Valley Conditions

Landscape fixtures and electrical connections in the Treasure Valley can be exposed to irrigation spray, soil moisture, and repeated freeze cycles. We use solid cast brass and copper hardware intended to resist corrosion and withstand freeze cycles.

Our installation components and methods include:

• Aeration-depth wiring: We place cable at a depth intended to account for routine lawn aeration.
• Waterproof splice protection: We use silicone-filled splice capsules at electrical connections.
• Transformer headroom: We size outdoor lighting transformers with capacity above the calculated system load.
• Irrigation coordination: We consider irrigation lines when planning cable routes through the landscape.

Where a design calls for controlled illumination, shielded and downward-directed fixtures can reduce unwanted light spill beyond the intended area.
