Your home, after dark.
Custom architectural and landscape lighting, designed at night and built for the Florida coast.
Great lighting isn't about brightness. It's about what you choose to reveal.
A single palm washed in warm light. A path that glows just enough to guide you home. A pool that becomes the centerpiece at night. We design every system around the architecture and landscape you already love, so your property feels as considered at 9 PM as it does at noon.
Every layer of the landscape, considered.
No kits, no floodlights on the garage. Each fixture has a purpose, placed and aimed by hand.
Palms & Specimen Trees
Uplighting and moonlighting that turns royal palms and oaks into sculpture.
Architecture
Soft wall washing and grazing that brings out columns, stone and rooflines.
Paths & Entries
Low, quiet light that guides guests from the driveway to the front door.
Pools & Lanais
Accent light around the water, cage and outdoor kitchen so evenings last longer.
Pavers & Walls
Step lights and wall lights set into hardscapes during the build.
Putting Greens & Turf
Night play on your green, with wiring planned before the turf goes down.
Built for salt air, summer storms and years of quiet reliability.
- Designed and aimed at nightWe return after dark to fine-tune every beam. Lighting only looks right when it's adjusted in the dark.
- Warm, low-voltage LEDWarm color temperatures that flatter stone, stucco and foliage, at a fraction of halogen's energy use.
- Coastal-grade fixturesDurable metal fixtures specified for the Gulf Coast, never plastic stakes.
- Buried, sealed and automatedDirect-burial wire, waterproof connections and timer, photocell or app control.
Turtle-friendly lighting, without compromise.
From May 1 through October 31, sea turtles nest on Southwest Florida beaches, and bright white light near the shore can pull hatchlings away from the water. Coastal communities from Marco Island and Naples up through the Lee and Sarasota County islands have lighting rules for beachfront homes.
We design coastal systems that are beautiful and compliant, and we check the ordinance for your address before we design.
Keep it low
Fixtures mounted low and aimed down, lighting only paths, steps and entries.
Keep it long
Amber and red LEDs (long-wavelength, 560 nm and up), far less disruptive than white or blue light.
Keep it shielded
Shielded fixtures, so no light source is visible from the beach and nothing spills onto the sand.
Recent work, after dark.
Real Creative Grounds projects. Lighting is the finishing layer that ties the turf, pavers and landscape together.
Three steps to the first evening.
One team designs and installs your lighting, turf and hardscapes, so nothing gets torn up later.
Consultation
We walk the property with you, learn how you use the space and what you want to feature.
Lighting Design
A clear plan with every fixture location and its purpose, with line-item pricing.
Install & Night Aiming
Most homes are installed in a day or two, then aimed and refined after dark.
Questions, answered.
How much does landscape lighting cost?
It depends on the number and type of fixtures and how far wire needs to run. After your consultation you receive a line-item design, so you can see exactly what each light costs and scale up or down.
Do you install turtle-friendly lighting for beachfront homes?
Yes. For coastal properties we use amber, long-wavelength LEDs in low, shielded fixtures aimed away from the beach, and we check your city or county sea turtle lighting ordinance before we design.
Will it hold up to salt air, sprinklers and storms?
That's what we design for: coastal-grade fixtures, wire buried below grade and every connection sealed.
Can you add lighting to an existing turf or paver project?
Yes. We route wire carefully to avoid disturbing finished areas. If you're planning new turf or pavers, it's best to add lighting at the same time.
Can I control the lights from my phone?
Yes. Systems can run on a photocell, a timer, or smart controls with app scheduling.
Do you work with HOAs and commercial properties?
Yes. We light community entrances, monument signs, clubhouses, pool decks and courtyards across Southwest Florida. Request a commercial walkthrough.
Can you upgrade my old halogen system?
In many cases, yes. We evaluate your existing wiring and transformer, replace halogen fixtures with LED, and add new lights where you need them.
