They did a wonderful job! In spite of a street light at the corner of the property, the lighting is vivid and highlights the landscaping beautifully.Posted on Google![]()

We had lights installed inside of our lanai today and they came out great! I was greeted by Fitz and his wife, who were very pleasant people and great to chat with! They gave me a run down of the time it would take to do the job and got to work! They kept me informed throughout the process and walked me through all of the necessary functions and need to knows about the system. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Money well spent! I highly recommend using them if you need low voltage lighting done!Posted on Google![]()

Fitz & Kim are professional but friendly. Our house went from looking haunted & dark to tropical in one day. When our landscaping co @Bloomings cut the cable when trimming they came out immediately to make the repair. One of the best investments on our Rosedale home.Posted on Google![]()

During the course of our pool build I did online research on landscape lighting/services. During this extensive process I came across Illuminate Landscape Design. I reached out to Illuminate early in our pool’s construction with many questions. I was met with timely and informative answers. It was apparent that owners Fitz and Kim were experienced professionals that placed high standards on their services. I contracted with Illuminate to install pool cage lighting so we could enjoy extended use of our pool during evening hours, as well as enhance its esthetics. The end result was beyond what we could have dreamt and hoped for. Our future plans include adding lighting around the perimeter of our home. When we do, we will not hesitate to call on Illuminate Landscape Design. Without reservation we highly recommend Illuminate Landscape Design. Thank you Fitz and Kim! Liz & Ty B.

The best outdoor lighting should not look like a collection of fixtures. It should reveal the architecture, landscaping, and character of your home after dark. That is why every Illuminate project begins with the property—not a prebuilt package. We design the system around what deserves attention, how the home is viewed, and the atmosphere you want to create.
Illuminate Landscape Designs provides custom outdoor lighting for Lakewood Ranch homes, including landscape lighting, architectural lighting, pathway lighting, palm and tree lighting, garage and peak lighting, pool cage and lanai lighting, and smart lighting controls. We design each system specifically for the home and landscape using professional-grade, energy-efficient LED lighting designed for Florida’s outdoor environment.
Yes, Illuminate Landscape Designs uses energy efficient landscape lighting that provides excellent illumination while using significantly less energy than traditional outdoor lighting. For Lakewood Ranch and Southwest Florida homes, we design systems to provide the right amount of light while minimizing energy use, glare, and unnecessary light. Smart controls and timers can also automatically manage when your outdoor lighting turns on and off.
Yes. Our outdoor audio systems are designed specifically for outdoor environments and Florida weather. Illuminate Landscape Designs installs professional-grade landscape speakers and subwoofers designed to withstand heat, humidity, rain and year-round outdoor exposure. We carefully position the speakers throughout the landscape to provide clear, evenly distributed sound without overwhelming your neighbors.
Illuminate Landscape Designs installs professional-grade outdoor audio systems from trusted manufacturers including Origin Acoustics and other premium brands. We design each system around the size and layout of your outdoor space, using strategically placed landscape speakers and buried subwoofers to create balanced, high-quality sound throughout your pool, lanai, patio, and backyard areas.
Yes. Illuminate Landscape Designs specializes in installing outdoor lighting in existing landscapes throughout Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Sarasota, and surrounding areas. We carefully route low-voltage wiring through established landscaping while minimizing disruption to lawns, plants, pavers, and other outdoor features. We can also add new fixtures to an existing landscape lighting system or redesign and upgrade an older system.
Yes. Illuminate Landscape Designs provides landscape lighting repair and maintenance services throughout Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Sarasota, and surrounding areas. We troubleshoot lighting problems, replace lamps and damaged fixtures, repair wiring, reposition and adjust fixtures, clean lenses, reset timers and smart controls, and help restore older landscape lighting systems. We can service systems we installed as well as many systems installed by other companies.
The cost of professional landscape lighting depends on the size of the property, number and type of fixtures, installation requirements, and the overall lighting design. Illuminate Landscape Designs creates custom systems for homes in Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Sarasota, and surrounding areas using professional-grade fixtures and equipment. After evaluating your property and discussing your goals, we provide a detailed proposal designed specifically for your home and budget.
Yes. Smart-control options can let you manage schedules, timers, dimming, and compatible lighting features from your phone. We recommend controls based on the system design and how you want to use your outdoor spaces.
There is no ideal fixture count for every home. The right number depends on the architecture, landscaping, property size, focal points, and the effect you want to create. We design for balance and visual impact rather than simply adding more fixtures.
Warranty coverage depends on the equipment included in your project. Our proposals clearly identify the applicable material and labor coverage so you know what is protected before installation begins.
