Landscape Lighting
Your outdoor living space, after dark.
Professionally designed landscape lighting that highlights your home, guides the way and extends the evening.
VizX combines artistry and function to light architecture, plantings and outdoor living spaces throughout Chicagoland and nationwide.
Designed Light
Show the effect, not the fixture.
Great lighting is felt more than seen. We layer light to highlight your home’s architecture and landscape, make paths and steps safe, and give every outdoor room its own mood after dark.
Every lighting plan is tailored to your home’s layout and style, using high-quality LED fixtures placed with intention, so your property looks as good at night as it does during the day.
Planned with the design, not added after it. Wiring and fixtures are built into walls, steps and structures from the start.
Layers of Light
Light with purpose.
We design lighting in layers, each one doing a different job. Together they create a space that is safe, beautiful and inviting.
01
Path & Step Lighting
Low, glare-free light along walkways, stairs and entries for safety and a welcoming arrival.
02
Accent & Uplighting
Trees, plantings and architecture lit from below to add depth, drama and curb appeal.
03
Structure Lighting
Integrated LED lighting in pergolas, louvers and walls for a soft, built-in glow.
04
Entertaining Light
Task and ambient light for outdoor kitchens, bars and dining, so the party keeps going.
Quality & Control
Built to perform for years.
Every system is designed for efficiency, reliability and easy control. Our lighting plans include:
- Modern LED fixtures that last 10 to 15 years with minimal energy use.
- Low-voltage systems that are safe, efficient and easy to expand.
- Warm color temperatures that flatter stone, wood and plantings.
- Zones, timers and dimmers for different areas and moods.
- Smart app controls to adjust scenes from anywhere.
- Shielded, glare-free placement that keeps light where it belongs.
- Integrated lighting in steps, seat walls, pergolas and kitchens.
- Durable fixtures in brass, copper and powder-coated finishes.

Budget Review & Project Planning
Your investment, timeline and next steps, finalized.
Can lighting be installed in an existing landscape without major disruption?
Yes. Low-voltage wiring and fixtures can be installed with minimal impact to your existing plantings, lawn and hardscape.
Do you offer smart lighting options?
Absolutely. We can integrate timers, dimmers, zones and app-based smart controls, so your lighting turns on, adjusts and changes scenes automatically.
How long do outdoor LED fixtures last?
Most quality LED fixtures last 10 to 15 years with minimal maintenance, making them an excellent long-term investment.
What is low-voltage landscape lighting?
Most landscape lighting runs on a safe 12-volt system powered by a transformer plugged into an outdoor outlet. It’s efficient, safe around people and pets, and easy to expand later.
What color of light looks best outdoors?
Warm white light, typically around 2700 Kelvin, flatters stone, wood, plantings and skin tones and feels inviting. Cooler light can look harsh outdoors, so we specify color temperature for each area.
How do you avoid glare and light pollution?
Good lighting design shows the effect, not the fixture. We aim lights away from eyes and windows, use shielded fixtures and keep light where it belongs, so the space glows without spilling onto neighbors.
Should lighting be planned with my outdoor living design?
Yes. Lighting is far easier to integrate when it’s designed with the patio, walls, steps and structures, so wiring and fixtures can be built in rather than added later.
How much does landscape lighting cost?
It depends on the size of the property, the number and type of fixtures and the controls you choose. We provide a budget range during design, and our Outdoor Living Price Guide walks through typical ranges.
