More Than Just Visibility: Creating a Nighttime Masterpiece
In Highland Park, University Park, and Frisco, your home's architecture shouldn't disappear when the sun sets. At All Green Landscapes, we design lighting systems that do more than just "turn on"—they transform.
Our 2026 lighting designs focus on Layered Illumination, which balances functional path lighting with dramatic architectural accents. By using professional-grade, low-voltage LED systems, we can highlight the unique textures of your stonework and the grand canopies of your Live Oaks while consuming 80% less energy than traditional halogen systems.
The 3 Pillars of a Professional Lighting Design
We've built our service around the three things North Texas homeowners value most:
🔒 Safety & Security
A well-lit home is the best deterrent for intruders. We eliminate "dark corners" by strategically washing exterior walls with light and ensuring every step, driveway, and entryway is safely illuminated.
🏛️ Architectural Accentuation
We use techniques like "Uplighting" to emphasize the height of your home and "Grazing" to reveal the deep texture of Texas limestone or brick.
🌙 The "Moonlighting" Effect
By mounting subtle, warm-toned fixtures high in your mature trees, we create a soft, natural glow that mimics a full moon. This provides a romantic, resort-like atmosphere for your patio or pool area.
Engineered for the Texas Climate
We don't use the plastic or aluminum fixtures found at big-box stores. Why? Because the heat and humidity of the DFW Metroplex destroy them.
🔧 Solid Brass & Copper
Our fixtures are made of commercial-grade, corrosion-resistant materials that develop a beautiful patina over time and withstand the brutal Texas sun.
🛠️ Expert Care: Protecting Your Lighting Investment
Professional landscape lighting is a "set and forget" system, but the harsh North Texas environment requires a little seasonal attention to keep your home looking its best.
1. The "Hard Water" Factor
North Texas water is notoriously high in mineral content. If your irrigation system "oversprays" onto your lighting fixtures, you will eventually see white, cloudy spots on the lenses.
The Fix:
Wipe your lenses every 3–6 months with a soft cloth and a 50/50 mixture of water and white vinegar. This safely dissolves the calcium buildup without scratching the glass.
2. Managing the "Patina"
At All Green Landscapes, we use solid brass and copper fixtures because they don't rust. However, they do age.
Embrace the Patina:
Most DFW homeowners love the natural "aged" look as brass turns deep bronze or verdigris green. This layer actually protects the metal underneath.
Maintain the Shine:
If you prefer the original "new" look, you can apply a clear protective wax during your annual check-up to slow down the oxidation process.
3. Pests & Debris
Fire ants and spiders are attracted to the warmth and electrical signals of landscape transformers and fixtures.
Transformer Check:
Every spring, we recommend opening your transformer box to ensure no pests have nested inside.
Spider Webs:
Spiders love building webs across path light hats. A quick sweep with a soft brush keeps the light output crisp and prevents a "cloudy" appearance at night.
4. Vegetation Trimming
As your Frisco or Plano landscape grows, it can eventually block your lighting.
The "Shade Check":
Once a year, check your "uplights." If your shrubs have grown over the fixture, they will create a "hot spot" of light on the leaves while leaving your home's architecture in the dark. A light pruning is all it takes to restore the effect.
