Low-voltage landscape lighting

Lighting is what makes a yard usable after dark and what makes it look the way it does at night. We install low-voltage lights for paths, steps, wall caps, trees and water features.

On new builds we run the wires before the rock and sod go down, so nothing has to be torn back up later.

Is this right for you?

A good fit if…

  • You have steps or paths that are hard to see at night.
  • You've built a patio, fire pit or water feature and want to use it after dark.
  • You want the house and yard to look finished from the street at night.

How we do it

Step by step.

  1. 1

    Plan what to light

    Steps and paths first for safety, then the features worth showing off — walls, trees, water.

  2. 2

    Run the wire early

    On new work, wire goes in before the rock, sod or caps, so it's protected and hidden.

  3. 3

    Set the fixtures and transformer

    Fixtures placed and aimed, with a transformer and timer so it runs itself.

Utah weather & soil

Long evenings, short winter days

In December the sun sets before 5:30 in the Salt Lake Valley. Lit steps and paths keep the yard safe through the long dark months — especially on icy steps.

In summer, lighting is what turns a patio into somewhere you sit until ten.

What it costs

What moves the price.

We don’t give prices over the phone, because a number for a yard we haven’t seen is a guess. Jason walks it with you and you get a written estimate — free, with no obligation.

  • Number of fixtures
  • Fixture type
  • Wire runs and distance
  • New build or retrofit

Questions

What people ask us.

Can you add lighting to an existing yard?

Yes, though it's easiest when we can run wires as part of other work.

Do you do Christmas lights too?

Yes — holiday lighting is a separate service. See mpchristmaslights.com.

We work across Riverton, Herriman, South Jordan, Draper, Bluffdale, West Jordan and the rest of the Salt Lake Valley. Something else on your mind? Call 801-608-7207.
