Landscape lighting in Cypress
Water changes the design. A lit tree on a bank gives you the tree and its reflection, and a warm fixture read across still water at fifty yards does more for a rear elevation than anything you can mount on the house. We spend real time on the far side of the water on Towne Lake and Bridgeland jobs.
The wide lots here also mean the front elevation is often seen from an angle rather than head-on. That moves fixtures off the obvious symmetrical positions and onto the sightline people actually arrive from.
On the ground
What we light in Cypress
Waterfront reflection
Lakes and canals double every fixture aimed across them. Bank-side placement beats another uplight on the patio.
Wide, angled frontages
Cypress lots are seen from an approach angle. We aim to the sightline you arrive on, not to the floor plan.
Newer construction detail
Stone columns, mixed brick and tall entries respond well to grazing at a shallow angle.

What Houston-area homeowners say
Elwin was very professional. I watched him the whole time he was restoring my landscape lighting. He replaced bulbs for better lighting, installed new wiring, and did a great job of hiding wires. He arranged for my unit to run off of one box instead of three. My landscape lighting means the world to me.Luong Tieu Hung
We are so excited about our new outdoor dramatic lighting. Elwin was amazing to work with, always on time and communicated throughout. He also rewired and reworked some of our existing lighting and replaced bulbs. Can’t say enough about his workmanship and his professional approach.Connie Loftus
Ambiance Outdoor Lighting did a great job with my outdoor lighting project. They were very easy to work with and communicated with me throughout the project. They did a quality job at the best price that I found.Justin Chowattukunnel

Answers
Cypress lighting questions
Can you light across a lake or canal?
Yes, and it is usually the highest-impact thing we can do on a waterfront lot. Fixtures placed on the bank and aimed across still water give you the lit subject plus its full reflection, which no amount of patio lighting matches.
How much does landscape lighting cost?
Most residential systems land between roughly $3,500 and $12,000 depending on fixture count, wire runs and transformer size. Every quote is fixed and written before work begins — see our pricing guide.
Is there a charge for the design visit?
No. We come out after dark with fixtures, light the property in front of you and leave you with a written quote. There is no charge and no obligation.
Do you charge extra to travel to Cypress?
No. Cypress is inside our normal service area and there is no travel surcharge.
