The entire Land Designs by Colton team is amazing and we really enjoyed working with Flavia and Colton.

Can’t recommend them enough!!!

Jonathan, Flavia and their team did a wonderful job from landscape design to communication to installation and follow up support.
They were all easy to work with, made good suggestions and gave us a fabulous backyard. Everything was installed in 5 days. We are excited to spend time in our new yard!
The Cost of Landscape Lighting in Denver, CO
Landscape lighting costs vary widely depending on the scope of the project. So, you can work with a budget that makes sense for you.
Most residential landscape lighting installations in Denver fall somewhere between $2,000 and $10,000+, based on past project estimates.
Here are the five biggest factors that move the price:
- Size of the Area. More ground to cover means more fixtures, more wire, and more labor. A compact front yard costs significantly less than lighting an entire property with multiple focal points.
- Type of Fixtures. LED systems last longer and use less power, but they come at a higher upfront cost than basic halogen alternatives. Solar fixtures can reduce installation costs but work best in specific applications.
- Complexity of the Design. A simple path light installation is straightforward. A full layered design with spotlights, water feature lighting, deck lighting, and smart controls takes considerably more time to plan and install, and that's reflected in the price.
- Existing Electrical Infrastructure. If your yard already has outdoor power access near where the lighting will go, installation is simpler. If new circuits or conduit runs are needed, that adds to the overall scope.
- Terrain and Landscaping Rocky. Soil, slopes, dense plantings, or hardscape surfaces like concrete and stone require more careful installation and can add time to the job.
Your project will be different, so the best thing to do is reach out and share the details so we can put together an accurate number for you.

We know that any contractor working in your yard can feel disruptive, and we respect that. Our crew shows up on schedule, works efficiently, and leaves the space clean when we’re done.

Common Questions About Landscape Lighting in Denver, CO
How long does landscape lighting last?
Quality LED landscape lighting fixtures typically last 25,000 to 50,000 hours of use, which works out to many years under normal conditions. The lifespan depends on fixture quality, exposure to weather, and how often the system runs. With proper installation and quality components, most systems need very little attention beyond the occasional bulb swap.
Can landscape lighting handle Denver's winters?
Absolutely. Denver winters bring freeze-thaw cycles, and good outdoor fixtures are built for that. We select fixtures rated for harsh weather conditions and install them to account for ground movement and moisture. Properly installed landscape lighting performs well year-round here.
Is landscape lighting energy efficient?
Modern LED systems are very efficient. They draw a fraction of the power that older halogen systems used, and many homeowners are surprised by how low their monthly energy impact actually is. Solar options are also available for specific applications where running wire isn’t practical.
Do I need a permit for landscape lighting in Denver?
For low-voltage landscape lighting, permits are generally not required. Higher-voltage installations connected to your home’s electrical panel may involve a licensed electrician and could require a permit depending on the scope. We’ll let you know exactly what your project needs during the planning phase so there are no surprises.
