Landscape & Outdoor Lighting in Cornelius, NC
Low-voltage landscape lighting designed for effect, not glare — uplighting, path lighting, hardscape and security lighting.
Outdoor Lighting built for Cornelius properties
Cornelius is home base for Andrew's Landscaping. Many Cornelius properties sit on or near Lake Norman shoreline, with sloped lots that drop toward the water, HOA review on The Peninsula and in other planned neighborhoods, and wind-exposed yards that need careful material choices.
Lighting design is about where the fixture is hidden. We uplight architecture and specimen trees, wash walls and stone texture from a grazing angle, tuck hardscape lights under cap stones and stair treads, and keep every source out of your sightline so you see the effect instead of the bulb.
We install LED fixtures on properly sized transformers with buried, gel-capped runs and a photocell or app-controlled timer. Zones let you run entertaining light, low ambient light and security light independently, and the system is expandable when you add a patio, pool or structure later.

Common Questions
Outdoor Lighting in Cornelius: FAQs
Do you offer landscape & outdoor lighting in Cornelius, NC?
Yes. Cornelius is part of our regular service area from our base in Cornelius, NC. We work in The Peninsula, Jetton Road, Antiquity, Smithville and the Bailey Road corridor, and every project gets a free on-site visit and a written quote.
Do I need a permit for landscape & outdoor lighting in Cornelius?
Low-voltage landscape lighting usually does not need a permit, while new line-voltage circuits are handled by a licensed electrician. Cornelius handles zoning and land-use review, while building permits run through Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement. We confirm the requirements for your address before work starts.
Do you work on lakefront properties in Cornelius?
Yes. Lakefront lots in Cornelius often have steep grades toward the water, and work within the shoreline buffer may need approval from Duke Energy Lake Services and the local planning office. We plan erosion control, drainage and access before work starts.
How soon can you start a project in Cornelius?
We usually schedule the on-site visit within a few days of your call. Start dates depend on the season, the size of the job and any HOA or permit approvals, and we give you a clear schedule window in your written quote.
Can lighting be added to a finished landscape?
Yes — low-voltage runs are shallow and we tunnel under hardscape and beds with minimal disruption, then restore mulch and sod.
How much does it cost to run?
LED systems draw very little; a typical residential system costs a few dollars a month to operate.
Do you service other companies’ systems?
Yes. We troubleshoot failed transformers, corroded connections and water-damaged fixtures, and expand existing systems.
