Hardscape Lighting
Precision Lighting for Built Environments
From stone walls and outdoor kitchens to fire pits and paver steps, hardscape features deserve lighting that’s just as refined as the structures themselves. At Experience Lighting Outdoors, we design and install hardscape lighting systems that are clean, cohesive, and built to perform—day after day, season after season.
This is where functionality meets design. Every light is purposefully placed to enhance safety, highlight craftsmanship, and create ambiance in your outdoor living areas.
What Is Hardscape Lighting?
Hardscape lighting refers to the integration of low-voltage lighting into permanent outdoor features like retaining walls, seating walls, pergolas, columns, steps, and outdoor kitchens. The goal is not just illumination, but integration—fixtures that disappear into the structure by day and transform it by night.
✔ Seamless fixtures that blend into stone, wood, and paver materials
✔ Enhanced safety for stairs, ledges, and elevation changes
✔ Elegant undercap and canopy lighting for walls, counters, and pergola beams
✔ Long-lasting materials built for heat, humidity, and moisture
✔ Even, glare-free illumination for comfort and style
Where We Install Hardscape Lighting
Hardscape lighting is about more than just visibility—it’s about making your outdoor features feel complete. We install clean, well-concealed lighting in areas where safety, ambiance, and aesthetics intersect.
Retaining & Seating Walls
Undercap lights are mounted beneath wall caps to provide a soft, continuous glow that defines edges and adds depth without hot spots.
Steps & Stairs
Step lights increase safety while adding architectural flair. We use glare-free designs that guide the foot without distracting the eye.
Pergolas & Shade Structures
We illuminate pergolas with low-profile lighting integrated into beams, rafters, or posts—perfect for ambient light in dining or lounge areas without compromising the structure’s aesthetics.
Outdoor Kitchens & Grills
Well-lit prep and serving areas extend the usability of your outdoor kitchen well into the evening. Our lights are installed flush and discreetly to preserve the integrity of your build.
Fire Features & Water Features
We carefully balance brightness and warmth to enhance the look of fire pits, water walls, fountains, or custom features without overpowering them.
Lighting That Feels Like It Was Always Meant to Be There
Hardscape lighting should never feel like an afterthought. That’s why we work directly with homeowners, landscapers, and hardscape contractors to ensure every light is placed with care—whether we’re lighting a brand-new build or enhancing an existing space.
✔ Designed for minimal visibility by day
✔ Installed flush with stone, wood, or paver materials
✔ Fully integrated with your landscape and bistro lighting systems
Built for the Florida Environment
Your hardscape lighting has to stand up to heat, rain, humidity, salt air, and heavy use. We only install commercial-grade fixtures made from materials that can take it—all while maintaining a refined look.
✔ Corrosion-resistant metals and sealed housings
✔ LED systems with minimal heat output
✔ Smart-compatible transformers and dimmers
✔ Clean installs with hidden wires and secure mounting
The ELO Standard
As with every system we design, your hardscape lighting will reflect the same level of craftsmanship and detail we bring to every project. When the sun goes down, your outdoor features should still shine.
✔ Precision installations with a clean finish
✔ Custom layouts tailored to your hardscape and pergolas
✔ Long-term durability and visual consistency
✔ A premium lighting experience, start to finish
