Landscape Lighting
The right landscape lighting transforms your property after dark — showcasing architectural features, creating drama and depth, and extending the usability of your outdoor spaces into the evening hours. Bayview designs and installs architectural LED lighting systems that are as beautiful as they are efficient.
Our lighting designs use a layered approach — combining uplighting on specimen trees and architectural features, pathway lighting for safety and navigation, accent lighting for focal points, and ambient lighting for entertaining areas. The result is a landscape that looks as stunning at 10pm as it does at noon.
We exclusively use low-voltage LED fixtures that consume a fraction of the energy of traditional halogen systems while providing superior light quality and virtually unlimited lifespan. Our smart lighting systems can be controlled from your smartphone, with programmable schedules and dimming capability.
The twilight photos of our Los Altos Hills estate project demonstrate what's possible with a thoughtfully designed lighting system — the pool house reflection, the warm glow through the trees, and the subtle illumination of the lawn create an atmosphere that's both dramatic and inviting.
