Landscape Lighting in Ann Arbor, MI: Thoughtful Outdoor Lighting for a City That Values Design
Landscape Lighting in Ann Arbor, MI
Ann Arbor is not a city where generic solutions are well-received, and landscape lighting is no exception. This is a community shaped by decades of architectural intention — from the Greek Revival homes along North Division Street dating to the 1830s, to the Arts and Crafts bungalows of Burns Park and Old West Side, to the mid-century modern masterworks of Ann Arbor Hills. Ann Arbor homeowners tend to be discerning, curious about the design reasoning behind every decision, and attentive to how changes affect the character of their property and neighborhood.
The Old West Side historic district presents some of the most rewarding landscape lighting opportunities in the region. Wide front porches, ornate trim details, mature canopy trees, and intimate lot configurations respond beautifully to warm, carefully positioned fixtures. Ann Arbor Hills and Barton Hills feature architect-designed mid-century and contemporary homes on larger wooded lots where landscape lighting can reveal the interplay between built form and natural landscape in genuinely spectacular ways.
Ann Arbor also has a strong culture of environmental consciousness. We share that value. Our LED systems use a fraction of the energy of older lighting technologies, are designed to minimize light pollution and sky glow, and are specified to last for decades.
Our Ann Arbor Landscape Lighting Services
Historic and Period Home Lighting
Ann Arbor’s Victorian, Craftsman, and Colonial Revival homes deserve lighting that respects their era and character. We select fixture styles, positions, and color temperatures that feel appropriate to the architecture rather than imposing a modern aesthetic where it does not fit.
Mid-Century and Contemporary Home Lighting
The architect-designed homes of Ann Arbor Hills and newer contemporary residences citywide call for a different approach — clean lines, minimal fixture profiles, and precise illumination of architectural planes and natural materials.
Mature Tree and Canopy Lighting
Ann Arbor’s tree canopy is one of the city’s defining assets. Uplighting specimen trees and woodland edges creates the kind of nighttime environment that makes walking through Ann Arbor neighborhoods genuinely magical.
Sustainable Low-Energy LED Systems
Every system we install uses energy-efficient LED technology with appropriate controls. For Ann Arbor homeowners who value sustainability, our systems offer significant energy savings over older outdoor lighting approaches.

We bring design thinking, not just technical installation. Our team engages seriously with the design conversation — explaining the reasoning behind fixture placement, color temperature choices, and the balance between light and shadow.
We have worked with Ann Arbor’s full range of architecture. From an 1880s Queen Anne in Kerrytown to a 1962 flat-roof modernist home in Ann Arbor Hills, our team has the experience to approach each style correctly.
Our systems are built to last and easy on energy. Ann Arbor homeowners who care about sustainability will appreciate that our LED installations consume a fraction of the power older systems use while delivering superior light quality.
