Bring Your Yard to Life After Dark
Good lighting does something special for a home. It turns a plain front yard into a warm welcome, makes a back patio a place you actually want to sit, and shows off the trees, stonework, and plants you worked so hard to get right. It also keeps your family safer by lighting the way along steps and walkways and removing the dark spots around your home. With Austin's mild evenings, a well-lit yard gives you more hours to enjoy your outdoor space, and a smartly placed system does all of it without driving up your power bill.

Several friends referred me to 512 Luxury Landscape Design for my latest home improvement project and we're glad they did. They installed a concrete sidewalk, outdoor wall sconce, and river rock landscape treatment. We think landscaping with rock is great because it cuts down on maintenance of having to add mulch seasonally. Fair pricing, great communication, and creative design ideas is why it was a pleasure working with Ian and his entire team. We highly recommend Luxury Landscape Design the next time you want to elevate your outdoor space.

Ean Nambo has a great eye for design and practicality that is more important for Austin area homeowners now than ever. We had a functional problem of water pooling at our front door during heavy rains. We had a design problem of a front yard that was 20% grass and 80% weeds that required mowing and turned brown during droughts. I challenged Ean to help me create a xeriscaped front yard that diverts water away from our house and into the street and that looks like the updated and modern home that we've created. I wanted to avoid installing a lawn that would be thirsty for water in our climate and I had some ideas for including a dry creek running through the property. I am thrilled with the results! I love the look and the dry creek bed did its job during a recent deluge. Ean had ideas to make the most of a courtyard area that converted the space into an additional gathering area and I couldn't be happier with the result. He also included dramatic landscape lighting installation that showcases the lovely texture of the limestone exterior and the grace of our live oaks that have survived the recent freezes. I wanted to avoid over planting, so as we planted a few things. I'm happy with this strategy, because I can see which plants work best in which areas for future plantings. Rarely can a homeowner say they are so happy with the results of working with a landscape company, so I am thrilled to share met experience with others considering 512 Luxury Landscaping.

It was great working with Ean to remove our grass and replace with a xeriscape design. He took my vision and some specific plant selections and came up with a design that accomplished exactly what I wanted. I would recommend him and his team for your landscape needs!

Ean and his crew were great to work with. Newly poured driveway included a beautiful glued rock drain which not only protects but adds a touch of color to the concrete. Would highly recommend 512 Luxury Landscape Design.

Ian was so easy to work with and really communicative. We had our backyard redone with sod and he found the grass that would work best for our yard and gave us in depth instructions on how to make sure it roots and grows. His team was efficient and they did a fantastic job. We’re so excited to see how it does and would absolutely recommend for anyone looking for landscape design.

Ean and his crew were quick, efficient, respectful, and easy to deal with. He gave a fair price for a sod install. He showed up on time, did the work as agreed upfront, and left us with the nice lawn to enjoy. Thanks Ean and crew!

512 Luxury landscaping is a solid choice in your landscaping and construction needs! Ean and his crew do impeccable work, kind, timely, and is the best contractor I’ve ever worked with! What sets Ean apart is that he aims to educate the client. I’ve worked with many contractors that just do-as-told and then show up with their crew and you’re in shock, not knowing the process and procedures. Construction and landscaping is much more meticulous, strategic and demands strong communication than the novice knows- until they experience it for the first time. Ean is professional, communicative, has creativity and a best-bang-for-your-buck-attitude. There were times when I needed someone to step in a take control and he knew exactly when to do this- whilst simultaneously balancing knowing that as the customers, we need full transparency of what needs to happen and what to expect. Ean was additionally helpful calling out prior contractors incorrect work. So much to the point where I was empowered with the knowledge he gave me to call-out said contractors to come back and do the job the right way. You can’t go wrong with 512 luxury landscaping. I’ve referred many friends to them and hope this review is helpful to you making your decision on hiring a contractor.

We had Ean and crew add an extension to our driveway and reroute sprinklers. The work was slows down by city permits issues but they were very patient with that and finished soon after permits were approved. Very happy with the work. Would use them again in a second.

Landscape Lighting Design & Installation in Austin, TX
LIGHTING THAT WORKS AFTER SUNSETThe right lights can completely change how your home feels at night. At 512 Luxury Landscape Design, we install low-voltage LED landscape lighting for homes across Austin and the Hill Country. We place each fixture with care so the light feels natural and warm, not harsh or scattered. From a soft glow along the front walk to dramatic uplighting on a live oak, we build lighting that adds beauty, safety, and value. We handle both the design and the install, so one team plans the layout and puts it in the ground. Lighting is also part of our wider landscape design work and rounds out our complete landscaping services.
Designing Your Lighting Plan
Good lighting starts with a plan, not a box of fixtures. Before any wire goes in the ground, we map out where each light goes, what it lights, and how bright it should be. A clear plan keeps wiring tidy and makes the install go smoothly. Each plan covers:
- A layout that marks fixture spots, beam angles, and brightness.
- Fixture and color choices that fit your home's style.
- A wiring, zone, and control plan ready for installation.
We also plan for mood. A few bright floodlights can make a yard feel like a parking lot. Soft, layered light makes the same space feel warm and inviting. We mix gentle light for gathering areas, focused accents on features worth showing off, and just enough task light to keep paths and steps safe. Warm color temperatures keep the look natural through a long Austin evening.
How We Install Your Lighting
We treat lighting like a craft, not a quick add-on:
- We walk your property at dusk to find the features worth lighting and the spots that need it.
- We choose warm, low-voltage LED fixtures that match your home and hold up outdoors.
- We run and bury the wiring cleanly so nothing is visible during the day.
- We aim and adjust every fixture at night to get the look just right.
- We set timers or smart controls so the lights come on and off on their own.
Types of Landscape Lighting We Install
Different fixtures do different jobs. We blend them to fit your yard:
- Path lights to guide the way along walkways, steps, and driveways.
- Uplighting to highlight trees, columns, and the front of your home.
- Accent and spotlighting to feature stonework, water features, and garden beds.
- Deck, patio, and step lights for safe, comfortable outdoor living spaces.
- Security lighting to brighten dark corners and entry points around the house.
Why LED Lighting Is the Smart Choice
We use low-voltage LED systems for a reason. They sip power compared to older lighting, so you get a full display without a painful bill. The bulbs last for years and give off very little heat, which is a real plus in our climate. Because the system runs on low voltage, it is safe around kids, pets, and the garden. Paired with weather-rated fixtures, your lighting holds up to Austin heat, heavy rain, and the rare hard freeze.
Landscape Lighting Across the Austin Area
We offer landscape lighting for homes across Central Texas, including Bee Cave, Dripping Springs, Lakeway, and Barton Creek. See every community we work in on our service areas page.

Get Started with LightingLandscape Lighting That Holds Up to Austin Weather
Austin's outdoor environment is hard on fixtures. Summer heat bakes surfaces, afternoon thunderstorms dump heavy rain, and the occasional winter freeze tests any outdoor product that is not built for real weather. We use fixtures rated for outdoor use and bury wiring correctly so your system stays reliable through all of it.
Austin also has a long season of comfortable outdoor evenings. Spring, fall, and many winter nights are perfect for sitting outside, and a well-lit yard makes those hours better. Lighting pays off more in a climate where outdoor spaces get real use almost year round.
- Intense summer UV and heat that require UV-rated fixtures and weatherproof housings to prevent early fading and failure.
- Heavy storms during Austin's wet season that test wiring depth and fixture sealing, both areas we handle to code on every install.
- Austin's long outdoor season where lighting extends the usable hours of patios, seating areas, and walkways well into the evening.
- Native trees like live oaks and cedar elms that provide great uplighting opportunities common to yards in Austin, Westlake, and Lakeway.
- Service areas including Austin, Westlake, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Dripping Springs, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, and Leander.

Landscape Lighting Design & Installation FAQs
Why choose low-voltage LED landscape lighting?
Low-voltage LED fixtures are safe, energy efficient, and long lasting. They run on a fraction of the power of older systems, give off very little heat, and the bulbs last for years, so your lighting stays bright with almost no upkeep.
Does landscape lighting improve home security?
Yes. A well-lit yard removes the dark corners that intruders look for and makes walkways and entries safer for your family and guests. Many Austin homeowners add lighting as much for security as for looks.
Can lighting handle Austin heat and storms?
Yes. We use weather-rated outdoor fixtures and bury the low-voltage wiring properly, so the system holds up to our summer heat, heavy rain, and the occasional freeze without trouble.
What is the difference between lighting design and lighting installation?
Lighting design is the plan: where each fixture goes, what it lights, the brightness, the color, and how the wiring and controls run. Installation is putting that plan in the ground. We handle both, so the plan you approve is the system we install.
What parts of an Austin yard should be lit?
We usually plan light for paths and steps for safety, patios and outdoor kitchens for use after dark, and trees, walls, and water features for looks. We also plan entry and driveway lighting for security and a welcoming arrival at night.
