Landscape & Outdoor Lighting in Matthews, NC
Low-voltage landscape lighting designed for effect, not glare — uplighting, path lighting, hardscape and security lighting.
Outdoor Lighting built for Matthews properties
Matthews combines a historic downtown with established neighborhoods and mature trees. Many homes are 20 to 40 years old, so projects often replace worn patios, failing walls and tired plantings while working around large roots.
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 Matthews: FAQs
Do you offer landscape & outdoor lighting in Matthews, NC?
Yes. Matthews is part of our regular service area from our base in Cornelius, NC. We work in downtown Matthews, Sardis Road, Fullwood and neighborhoods off Weddington Road, and every project gets a free on-site visit and a written quote.
Do I need a permit for landscape & outdoor lighting in Matthews?
Low-voltage landscape lighting usually does not need a permit, while new line-voltage circuits are handled by a licensed electrician. Matthews handles zoning and tree rules, and building permits run through Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement. We confirm the requirements for your address before work starts.
How soon can you start a project in Matthews?
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.
