What Fort Worth has
The established neighbourhoods south and west of downtown have the best landscape lighting material in the metroplex — enormous pecans, live oaks and magnolias that have been there since the houses went up in the twenties and thirties.
They also have lots about fifty feet wide. Your neighbour's bedroom window is closer to your trees than your own front door is, and a fixture aimed the way the box photograph shows it will put light straight into that window every night for the next ten years.
So in Fairmount or Berkeley Place the work is as much about where light does not go as where it does. Shielded fixtures, tighter beams, and aiming done after dark with somebody standing in the street telling you what they can see.
“On a narrow lot, half the job is keeping the light off the house next door.”
Jaxen Wright, Owner
Two very different jobs
Fairmount, Mistletoe Heights, Ryan Place, Berkeley Place. Big trees, small houses, tight lots. The trees are the whole scheme — usually one or two uplights per specimen with a narrow beam and a shield, plus moonlighting if there is canopy height to mount into. Bed and path lighting stays minimal; on a short walk, three path lights is a design and nine is a runway.
Period houses also tend to have interesting porch detail that takes light well, and very little frontage to waste.
Alliance, the far north, and the newer west side. Larger footprints, younger planting, more hardscape. Here the elevation does more of the work — grazing light up brick and stone, lighting the drive and the approach, and treating the planting for the size it currently is rather than what it will be.
These are the lots where there is room to light a back garden and outdoor living space as a second phase without the front looking unfinished in the meantime.
Where we work in Fort Worth
How it works
Text one picture of the front of your house. That is genuinely all we need to start. No appointment to book, nobody at your door.
We send back a picture of your house with the lights on, built from your photo. The roofline is traced from your actual structure — nothing moved, nothing redrawn.
Priced by how much roofline we light and how tall and accessible the house is. You get it in writing. Nothing to sign on the spot.
Track mounts to the fascia — the trim board under the roof edge — never through your shingles. Then we set it up on your phone and show you how to run it.
What people say
We would rather you drove past a finished job after dark than read a paragraph about one. These are verbatim from our Google profile.
“Jaxen and Colton did an amazing job on our lights. They gave us the options available to us and within one day our lights were installed and look beautiful.”Terri HornGoogle review
“It starts with the communication from any company for me and Jaxson was great from the start. The pricing is incredibly reasonable — this is coming from a single mom so you know it has to be very reasonable!”Lisa BuflerGoogle review
“Great customer service and did a great job putting lights on my house!”Jace RollerGoogle review
Also in Fort Worth
Landscape lighting handles the ground. Permanent roofline lighting handles the house, and because it goes up once it never comes down again. Quoted together or separately — there is no discount for bundling and no penalty for not.
Straight answers
Not if they are aimed properly. On the narrow lots in the older Fort Worth neighbourhoods this is the main design constraint, and it is why we aim after dark with somebody standing out in the street. Shielded fixtures and tighter beams solve most of it.
Usually two fixtures rather than one, set back further than people expect, with a beam wide enough to carry up into the canopy. A big tree lit from too close just shows you a bright trunk. It is the single most satisfying thing to get right on an older Fort Worth lot.
Often more worth it than a big new-build lot, because the trees are mature and the house has detail worth lighting. The restraint matters though — a short front walk needs about three path lights, not nine.
Yes, and on the larger north-side lots it is commonly a second phase. The system is sized so adding later does not mean pulling up what is already installed.
Yes. They are quoted separately and there is no requirement to buy both.
