Landscape lighting in Broward County
Oasis Custom Hardscapes designs outdoor landscape lighting for residential and commercial properties throughout Broward County, Florida. Good lighting highlights the details of your landscape and hardscape after dark and makes the property feel welcoming when you arrive.
Let the evening linger
Lighting changes how a property looks and feels at night. A few well-placed fixtures can show off a palm, a stone wall or a winding path, and make steps and entries safer to use.
We plan lighting in layers: pathways for safe movement, accents to bring out the landscape and softer light for the places where people gather. Lighting works best when it is planned along with the landscape and hardscape.

How we think about lighting in South Florida
Practical points we cover with every project, so there are no surprises later.
Low-voltage LED systems
LED fixtures use little power and a low-voltage system is easy to adjust as the landscape grows and changes.
Salt air and humidity
Coastal air corrodes cheap fixtures. Brass, copper and quality aluminum fixtures tend to hold up better, so ask which materials we recommend.
Layers, not floodlights
We aim light at surfaces and plants, not at people's eyes. Layering path, accent and soft lighting avoids glare and hot spots.
Warm light
Warm-white LEDs look more natural in a landscape and tend to attract fewer insects than cool white.
Controls
Timers, dusk sensors and dimming mean the lights come on when you want them and not when you do not.
Near the beach
Properties on or near the beach in Broward may be subject to turtle-friendly lighting rules during nesting season. Tell us if that applies to you.

Questions about landscape lighting
Short answers to what people ask first.
Is landscape lighting expensive to run?
Low-voltage LED lighting uses very little electricity compared with older halogen systems, and timers keep it from running when you do not need it.
Can lighting be added to an existing landscape?
Yes. Lighting is often added after the plants and hardscape are in place, with fixtures positioned around what is already there.
Will landscape lighting hold up in salt air?
The fixture material matters. Brass, copper and quality aluminum resist corrosion better than cheap fixtures. Tell us how close you are to the water.
How many fixtures does my property need?
It depends on the size of the property and what you want to highlight. The best way to plan it is to talk through the goals and look at the property.
Do landscape lights attract bugs?
Warm-white LEDs tend to attract fewer insects than cool white lights, so warm color temperatures are usually the better choice outdoors.
