Custom outdoor lighting installation for a Sonoma County property, designed by RE Landscape Sonoma

What's Included

A Real Lighting Plan for Your Sonoma County Property

Outdoor lighting that isn't planned properly creates glare in some spots and dead darkness in others — and cheap fixtures fail within a season. Every lighting project at RE Landscape Sonoma starts with how your property actually looks after dark, not a handful of spike lights stuck along the walkway.

We design and install outdoor lighting for homeowners in Sonoma, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, Santa Rosa, Windsor, Napa, Cotati, Novato, and San Rafael.

On-Site Evening Assessment

We visit your property at dusk, whether it's a hillside home in Sonoma or a flat lot in Santa Rosa, and see exactly how light and shadow actually fall before designing anything.

Custom Lighting Design

A layout matched to your architecture, pathways, and landscape features — highlighting what matters instead of flooding the whole yard with even, flat light.

Premium Fixtures & Wiring

Durable, weather-rated fixtures and correctly installed low-voltage wiring — built to hold up outdoors for years, not a season.

Transparent Cost Estimate

A clear, itemized estimate before you commit to anything — no vague ballpark numbers and no surprise costs once installation begins.

The Process

From Evening Walk to Finished Lighting

Four steps, one crew from start to finish — whether your property is in Sonoma or out toward Napa.

Step 1

Evening Site Walk

We walk your property at dusk, whether it's a hillside home in Sonoma or a flat lot elsewhere in the county, and see exactly where light and shadow fall before designing anything.

Step 2

Design & Fixtures

We finalize the lighting layout and fixture selection, with a clear estimate in hand before any work begins — whether the project is in Rohnert Park or anywhere else we serve.

Step 3

Installation

Low-voltage wiring goes in correctly and out of sight, then fixtures are placed and aimed precisely. Our crew keeps you updated at every stage, from Napa to anywhere else in Sonoma County.

Step 4

Night Walkthrough

We walk the property with you after dark to fine-tune aim and brightness before calling it done. If anything's not right, we adjust it — simple as that.

Why It Matters

Lighting That Makes Your Property Shine, Not Just Glow

Cheap solar stake lights fade and fail within a season, and lighting placed without a real plan creates glare in some spots and total darkness in others. Thoughtful design and properly installed fixtures are what actually make a property look good after dark, year after year.

No dead fixtures within a year. Weather-rated fixtures and properly installed wiring instead of cheap solar stakes that fail fast.

Highlights what matters, hides what doesn't. Thoughtful design draws the eye to architecture and landscape features rather than flooding the yard with flat, even glare.

Safe, properly installed wiring. Low-voltage systems installed correctly so pathways, steps, and driveways stay lit and safe at night.

Is This Right For You?

Who This Outdoor Lighting Service Is For

We'd rather be upfront about fit than waste your time — or ours.

This is a great fit if you…

  • Own a property in Sonoma County and want it to look as good at night as it does during the day
  • Want lighting designed around your architecture and landscape, not generic spike lights from a box store
  • Are pairing lighting with a broader landscape design or hardscape project, or already have one in place
  • Care about safety — well-lit paths, steps, and driveways at night
  • Want it done once, done right — not a handful of solar stakes that fail within a season

This might not be the right fit if you…

  • Just need routine mowing or basic yard upkeep — that's our Landscape Maintenance service, not lighting
  • Are shopping purely on lowest price rather than long-term durability
  • Need it installed the same day — a proper design and wiring layout takes a bit of planning first
  • Are located outside Sonoma County and the surrounding North Bay

If that sounds like you, let's talk about your property.

Common Questions

Outdoor Lighting FAQ

Not necessarily. A standalone lighting project doesn't require a full design phase. If you'd like it planned alongside your broader landscape, we're happy to combine both.

Most projects move quickly once the design and fixtures are finalized — whether the property is in Petaluma or elsewhere in Sonoma County. We'll walk you through a clear timeline before work starts.

No — that's exactly what the evening site walk is for. We design around soft, layered light that highlights features and paths rather than floodlighting the whole yard, whether the property is in Santa Rosa or anywhere else we serve.

Yes. We can install systems with app or timer-based controls if you'd like to adjust schedules, brightness, or zones without manual switches.
