Elegant Landscape & Lighting in Austin
Enhance your home's nighttime curb appeal, safety, and holiday cheer with custom-designed, energy-efficient lighting systems.
Designing with Austin’s Premier Outdoor Experts
At ABC Home & Commercial Services, we believe your home’s beauty shouldn’t fade when the sun goes down. A professionally designed landscape lighting system does more than just illuminate the dark: it accents your home’s unique architecture, extends the usability of your outdoor living spaces, and adds an invaluable layer of safety and security.
“True landscape lighting is an art form. We don’t just flood a yard with light. We carefully place every fixture to highlight natural textures, cast soft shadows, and guide the eye naturally through the property.”
: Juan Benitez, Landscape and Lawn Maintenance General Manager at ABC
Whether you want to highlight majestic live oaks, illuminate a stone walkway, or install customizable, permanent holiday lighting along your roofline, our experienced specialists design systems tailored to your specific property.
Our Specialized Outdoor Lighting Services
We design custom outdoor lighting systems using specialized techniques to achieve distinct visual, functional, and festive goals.
- Architectural Accent Up-Lighting: We highlight the unique textures and features of your home, focusing on stone pillars, brickwork, peaks, and gables. By positioning fixtures at precise angles, we cast elegant shadows that dramatically increase your home’s nighttime curb appeal.
- Pathway & Walkway Safety Lighting: We replace dark areas with soft, overlapping pools of light along driveways, stairs, and stone walkways. This approach ensures safe navigation across your property while enhancing its overall look.
- Artisan Canopy & Moon Lighting: For properties with mature live oaks, pecans, or cedar elms, our team mounts low-voltage fixtures high in the tree branches. The light filters downward through the leaves, casting a beautiful, dappled moonlight effect across your lawn and gardens.
- Outdoor Living & Poolscape Illumination: Extend the usability of your backyard spaces past sunset. We integrate subtle accent lighting into patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and surrounding pool hardscapes for a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
- Year-Round Permanent Holiday & Accent Lighting: Our modern, track-based LED roofline systems are permanently installed and practically invisible during the day. Programmed via a smartphone app, these smart lights can display warm, traditional white for daily architectural up-lighting, red and green for Christmas, or red, white, and blue for Independence Day. It is the ultimate hassle-free, multi-holiday lighting solution.
The ABC Technical Standard
To ensure your system remains beautiful and functional for years to come, Landscape & Lawn Maintenance General Manager Juan Benitez has established strict technical standards for every installation:
- Solid Brass & Copper Fixtures: We do not use cheap plastic or aluminum fixtures that degrade in the sun. ABC installs commercial-grade, heavy-gauge solid brass and copper fixtures designed to weather the hot Central Texas climate and develop a beautiful natural patina over time.
- Discreet, Color-Matched Track Systems: For our permanent holiday lighting, we use low-profile aluminum tracks powder-coated to match your home’s exact fascia or trim color. This ensures your lighting system is virtually invisible during the day.
- Energy-Efficient Low-Voltage LED: Our advanced LED systems consume up to 80% less electricity than traditional halogen systems. This approach provides excellent brightness while keeping your utility costs low.
- Optimal Color Temperatures: We utilize warm-white light, typically between 2700K and 3000K. This range complements the natural warm tones of Central Texas limestone and brick without creating a harsh, artificial glare.
- Tree-Safe Mounting Practices: To protect your mature trees, we secure our canopy fixtures using non-invasive, adjustable straps. This method ensures our installations do not penetrate the bark, preventing wood-boring pests and tree diseases.
- Weatherproof Connections: All underground wiring connections are secured with silicone-sealed, waterproof wire connectors to prevent short circuits caused by rain or irrigation systems.
Complete Lifetime Maintenance & Care
Over time, plant growth, lawn care activities, and changing seasons can impact your outdoor lighting system. ABC offers comprehensive maintenance packages to keep your property looking its best:
- Fixture Re-Alignment & Cleaning: We adjust fixtures that have shifted, clear away dirt and debris, and clean lenses of hard water deposits to restore maximum brightness.
- Growth Pruning: Our landscape specialists trim back surrounding foliage to ensure your plants do not block the light paths.
- System Upgrades: If you have an older, high-voltage halogen system, we can retrofit your existing fixtures with energy-efficient LEDs, saving you money on utilities and bulb replacements.
- Hassle-Free Warranty Support: We handle all bulb replacements and coordinate directly with manufacturers for any warranted fixture repairs.

Austin Landscape & Holiday Lighting FAQ
To help you make an informed decision, Landscape & Lawn Maintenance General Manager Juan Benitez has answered some of the most common questions about professional outdoor lighting systems:
Permanent holiday lights are durable, waterproof LED track systems professionally mounted along your roofline or soffit. During the day, they are practically invisible because the track is custom-matched to the color of your home’s trim. At night, you can use an app on your phone to change the color of the lights to coordinate with Christmas, Independence Day, Halloween, or even local sports events.
Because we use advanced, low-voltage LED technology, our systems consume up to 80% less energy than traditional halogen systems. Running a typical 15-fixture LED system costs only pennies per night, resulting in a minimal impact on your monthly electric bill.
Intruders prefer to operate in the dark. By eliminating dark zones around entryways, windows, and side yards with soft, overlapping light, we make your home a far less appealing target. Our designs provide excellent security without creating the harsh glare of commercial floodlights.
Moon lighting is a technique where low-voltage fixtures are mounted high in a tree’s canopy, pointing downward. This design recreates the soft, dappled light pattern of real moonlight filtering through leaves. It works best on mature trees with dense canopy structures, such as Central Texas live oaks and pecan trees.
Yes. While some local providers only service their own systems, ABC’s expert technicians can diagnose, repair, and upgrade existing outdoor lighting systems, regardless of who originally installed them. We can replace old wiring, repair broken fixtures, or upgrade your older system to energy-efficient LEDs.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Luci Miller
“I tried to use other smaller services before going to ABC. No one REALLY helped me with my rodent problem, which is always a tricky one. Many of us in Austin have those critters and ABC has been good and solid at refilling bait stations, checking traps, etc. etc.. I also use them for my Pest Control and mosquito sprays and they do a wonderful job. I particularly enjoy the Care that William and Jennifer give me I wish I had their last names!”
Kevin Patterson
