Our expert crew is ready to work with you in order to help make your property everything you want it to be.

"Virgilio and his crew have completely transformed the exterior look of our home. We moved in last year in August and had them basically clean up, remove bushes/plants and install new boxwoods of our choosing. It looked great. This year I had them do rock work in the front and mulch in the back. I am more than satisfied with their work and recommend Salinas Brothers whenever I can to anyone that is in need of landscaping. Thank you!"

"Martin came out on a Saturday, and I walked him through the yard to show him what I wanted done. He gave me a fair quote that we both agreed on and said he'd be back the following Saturday to complete the work. He showed up right on time with four trucks, a wood chipper, a Vermeer, and an 8-man crew—ready to go. In just one day, they removed one dead tree and six large shrubs, cleared out all the dead growth from winter, edged everything perfectly, created a parking spot for my trailer, transformed a bare dirt area into a grass patch with topsoil, seed, and blanket, and trimmed every tree on the property. On top of that, they planted eight bushes and thirty flowering plants. I couldn't be happier—the yard looks incredible! Martin and his team were professional, efficient, and did a fantastic job. I’ll definitely be using them again and highly recommend their services."

Exterior lighting services FAQs

Low-voltage landscape lighting costs about $120 per fixture to install. You may need to install a 12-volt transformer, too, to ensure the lighting system runs safely. For a six-fixture low-voltage landscape lighting setup, expect to pay around $1,000. A major reason people choose low-voltage landscape lighting is to reduce the risk of shock, making it safer to operate the outdoor lighting system.

Professional landscape lighting is typically worth the investment to improve your home’s curb appeal, safety, and security. Additionally, landscape lighting can add value to your home, creating a brightly-lit outdoor space that you can use after dark. According to the National Association of Realtors, landscaping lighting can add $2,500 to your home’s value. On average, this type of home improvement has a 50% return on investment.

There are tons of different types of landscape lighting available, including the choice between solar and wired, incandescent and LED, and a variety of colors. Specific types of lighting include:

  • Pathway lights: $50–$150 per fixture

  • String lights: $50–$150

  • Low-voltage lights: $90–$150 per fixture

  • Porch lights: $65–$250 per fixture

  • Floodlights: $75–$250 per fixture

  • Downlights: $100–$400 per fixture

  • Uplights: $100–$400 per fixture

  • Security lights: $ 350–$500 per fixture

  • Lamp posts: $400–$1,100 per lamp post

Landscape lighting costs about $4,000 on average, ranging from $2,000 to $6,000, depending on the amount of lighting, type of lights, and your location. Additional cost factors include any electrical work, excavation and trenching, and the current landscaping that the contractor has to work around. You can expect to pay an average of $100 for pathway and string lighting, and about $700 for lamp post lighting.

The five common types of landscape lighting are up-lighting, down-lighting, spotlights, built-in lighting, and pathway lighting.

  • Up-lighting casts light upwards from the ground, mostly for aesthetic purposes.

  • Down-lighting directs light onto the ground, lighting pathways, or outdoor space.

  • Spotlights cast direct, focused lighting in any direction.

  • Built-in lighting integrates lighting into an outdoor feature.

  • Pathway lighting illuminates walkways, increasing safety.
