Lighting & audio
Landscape lighting and outdoor sound for Naples & Fort Myers
Lighting and audio designed as part of the landscape, placed for effect, built for salt air and tuned to the way you use the space after dark. Your outdoor rooms stay open long after sunset.
Designed with purpose
Light the landscape, not the sky
As part of our design-led approach, lighting and audio are integrated into the landscape from the first drawing. We focus on placement, performance and durability, so the system enhances the space without overpowering it.

Lighting and audio designed together so they work as one system
Lighting studio
Design the night yourself
Watch this coastal home go from late afternoon to full dark on tonight's Fort Myers sunset, then turn the uplit palms, path lights, garden beds and entry lighting on and off to see what each layer adds. Same house, same landscape, same viewpoint.

What we install
Lighting, audio and the hardware behind them
- 01
Landscape lighting
Accent and dramatic uplighting, path, step and area lighting that highlight trees, water and pathways and extend the hours you can enjoy the space.
- 02
Outdoor audio
Clear, even sound across the patio, pool and garden from speakers set into the planting, for parties, relaxing or a quiet evening, without overpowering the space.
- 03
Coastal Source systems
We integrate Coastal Source lighting and audio into our designs. Their weather-resistant products are engineered to withstand the elements, so the system looks right and works for years in Southwest Florida.
- 04
Lighting for water and pools
Underwater and surrounding light for ponds, waterfalls and pools, coordinated with the landscape so the whole property reads as one composition at night.

Lighting techniques
Six ways we paint with light
Every property gets a mix of these, chosen for what is worth seeing. For seasonal ideas, read outdoor lighting ideas for Florida's shorter days.
- 01
Uplighting
Fixtures at the base of palms and specimen trees throw light up the trunk and into the canopy. It is what makes a royal palm read from the street at night.
- 02
Path and step lighting
Low, shielded fixtures that light the walking surface, not your eyes. Spaced to the curve of the path so it never looks like a runway.
- 03
Moonlighting
Fixtures set high in a mature tree cast soft, dappled light down through the branches onto the lawn and patio, the closest thing to a full moon on demand.
- 04
Grazing and washing
Light set close to a stone wall or stucco face picks out texture; a wider wash lights a facade evenly. Both give the architecture depth after dark.
- 05
Water and pool lighting
Lights under a waterfall or in a pond basin make water the focal point at night, and they are planned with the rest of the system, not added on.
- 06
Silhouetting
A light behind a sculptural plant or a bench turns it into a graphic shape against a lit wall. Used sparingly, it is the detail guests remember.

FAQ
Lighting and audio questions
Can lighting be added to an existing landscape?
Yes. We design systems for new and existing landscapes and blend fixtures into what is already there. Retrofitting is easiest when we can run wire before new pavers or planting go in, so tell us early if other work is planned.
What types of outdoor lighting do you offer?
Pathway, accent, uplighting and area lighting, plus lighting for water features and pools, all designed to highlight the strongest features of your property.
What are the most common landscape lighting mistakes?
Too much light, fixtures that glare into eyes or windows, path lights lined up like a runway, and one-size-fits-all spacing. Good lighting is selective: it picks a few things worth seeing and lets the rest fall into shadow.
How long do landscape lights last?
Quality LED fixtures last for years, and the bigger risk in Southwest Florida is corrosion, not the lamp. That is why we specify components built for outdoor and coastal conditions.
How does outdoor audio work?
Strategically placed speakers deliver clear, even sound across the space, so you hear music, not one loud corner. Speakers sit in the planting and blend into the landscape.
Can I control lighting and audio easily?
Yes. Most systems run on simple controls, so you can adjust the scene for dinner, a party or late evening without thinking about it.
How long does installation take?
It depends on the size of the project, but most lighting and audio systems are completed within a few days.
Do lighting and audio systems need maintenance?
Very little, but occasional checks keep everything performing: re-aiming fixtures as plants grow, cleaning lenses and confirming connections after storm season.
