The Cost of Landscape Lighting

How Much Does Landscape Lighting Cost?

Serving Greater Orlando Florida | Windermere | Oviedo | Longwood

There’s no one answer to this question; many factors go into determining the cost of landscape lighting installation. For instance, are you lighting up a commercial property or a home? Do you just need a few simple lights to line your driveway, or do you want to get fancy with color-changing lights and Bluetooth implementation? And naturally, you’re also paying for materials, labor, and installation.

No matter what you have in mind for your yard, the Grasshoppers team is ready to help you make it a reality. Read on to learn more of the factors that go into the price of your lighting.

Cost-Determining Factors

No two yards are alike – and no two owners’ tastes are, either. Since Grasshoppers takes pride in building every individual a lighting setup that fits their vision perfectly, it’s impossible to give a one-size-fits-all answer to the question of cost. A lot goes into deciding the cost of each individual installation, from materials and labor to any extra bells and whistles you want to add. We’ll go into just a few of these factors below.

Complexity of Design

Naturally, a more complex design costs more to implement. And, as we mentioned above, landscape lighting can get very complex; you can use color-changing lights, control hundreds of lights with Bluetooth fixtures, and even create scenes with your lights. These extra implementations come with their own extra charges that must be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Type of Landscape Lighting

The cost of your landscape lighting also depends on the type you choose to implement. Smaller, simpler lights, like pathway lights, are on the cheaper side; something more specialized, like bollard lights or security lights, will cost more. Even within those categories, prices can vary widely; certain brands cost more than others, and it will come down to your preference in looks and functionality.

Number of Lights

The more lights you want to install, the longer it will take, and the more lights you’ll need to pay for. A small-scale installation of just a few post lights won’t take long, and won’t cost as much as a property-wide security lighting setup.

Type of Light Bulb

Even the type of light bulb you choose can alter the price of your installation! Incandescent lights, the most common bulb type, cost less on average than LED bulbs – however, they’re less energy-efficient and need to be replaced much more frequently.

Benefits of Outdoor Lighting

Outdoor lighting can do a lot for your home or business beyond looking great. Here are just a few of those benefits:

• Increased visibility. With creative use of yard lighting, you can extend your outdoor gatherings well into the night. For driveways and parking lots, extra visibility makes it much safer for drivers and pedestrians.
• Increased security. Even if you don’t opt for security lighting, simply having your home or business lit up a little more can help increase your property’s security.
• Increased curb appeal. Outdoor lighting makes your home or business look great. If you’re looking to sell your property, custom lighting can give it extra pop.
