Landscape Lighting in Fort Worth, TX
Low-voltage LED landscape lighting for Fort Worth homes, built for post oaks and pecans, historic bungalows, stone ranch homes and North Texas hail.
Fort Worth character, lit the right way
Fort Worth neighborhoods have a feel all their own: tree-lined streets near the Trinity River, historic districts full of bungalows, and big stone homes on rolling lots west of downtown. Landscape lighting here should feel natural and warm, showing off the house and trees without turning the yard into a stage.
Texas Landscape Lights designs and installs custom 12V LED systems for homeowners across Tarrant County. We serve Westover Hills, Rivercrest, Monticello, Crestline, Arlington Heights, Tanglewood, Overton Park, Fairmount, Ryan Place, Mistletoe Heights and Berkeley Place. Each project starts with a free consultation and night demo, followed by a written proposal.
Craftsman porches to Austin stone
Fairmount, Ryan Place and Mistletoe Heights have some of the best collections of Craftsman bungalows and Prairie-style homes in Texas, with wide porches, tapered columns and wood siding. Rivercrest and Westover Hills are known for large estates in brick and limestone, many with traditional, Tudor or Mediterranean details. Arlington Heights and Tanglewood mix brick traditionals and ranch homes, and newer builds often use the cream Austin stone that is popular across North Texas.
For bungalows, we keep fixtures small and focus on the porch, columns and roofline. For stone and brick estates, we use grazing light to bring out texture and balanced washes to frame windows and entries.
Post oaks, pecans and North Texas trees
Fort Worth sits where the Cross Timbers meets the prairie, so post oaks and blackjack oaks are native here, along with live oaks, cedar elms, bur oaks and pecans. Older neighborhoods have big, mature canopies, while Rivercrest and Westover Hills have sweeping lawns that frame specimen trees. Crape myrtles, yaupon holly, nandina and Texas sage are common in beds.
Large oaks and pecans are perfect for uplighting at the trunk and moonlighting from above. Our tree uplighting guide explains how we choose beam spread and placement for big trees.
| Fort Worth risk | Effect on lighting | Our approach |
|---|---|---|
| Hail | Cracked lenses and dented housings | Solid brass or aluminum fixtures with tempered glass |
| Ice storms | Falling limbs knock fixtures out of aim | Placement away from likely limb drop, simple re-aim |
| Clay soil | Shrink and swell tilts stakes and strains cable | Heavy stakes, slack in cable, sealed connections |
| Flooding near the Trinity | Water reaches transformers and splices | Elevated transformers, runs routed away from low spots |
Built for North Texas storms
Tarrant County gets some of the strongest hail in the state, and ice storms can bring down heavy limbs. A good system expects both. We choose fixtures that can take a hit, keep transformers protected and accessible, and plan canopy lights where they can be checked safely. See our checklist for protecting landscape lighting from Texas storms.
Large lots, long drives and ranch-style homes
West Fort Worth and the areas around Westover Hills and Rivercrest include some of the largest residential lots in the Metroplex. Long driveways, circular drives and deep front lawns need a different plan than a city bungalow. We focus on guiding guests safely from the street to the front door, lighting the drive edges and entry, and picking out two or three specimen trees so the property reads well from the road without lighting every square foot.
Stone ranch homes with long, low rooflines look best when the light follows the horizontal lines of the house: soft washes on stone sections, gentle accents on columns, and warm light at the entry. On bigger properties, we also plan transformer locations carefully so long cable runs keep even brightness from the first fixture to the last. Choosing the right transformer size and wire gauge up front avoids dim fixtures at the far end of the drive.
Backyards on these lots often include pools, outdoor kitchens and patios with views of mature trees. We light them in layers so the space feels comfortable for a long evening outside.
Historic districts and neighborhood associations
Fairmount, Ryan Place and several other areas are historic districts, and many Fort Worth neighborhoods have active associations. Low-voltage landscape lighting is generally a landscape feature rather than a change to the house, but it is wise to check local rules first. We keep fixtures discreet, aim them onto your property, and use warm 2700K light that suits historic homes.

Landscape lighting in Fort Worth: FAQ
Do you serve Westover Hills and Rivercrest?
Yes. We work with homeowners across Tarrant County, including Westover Hills, Rivercrest, Monticello, Arlington Heights, Tanglewood, Fairmount, Ryan Place, Mistletoe Heights and Berkeley Place.
Is landscape lighting worth it with Fort Worth hail?
Yes, as long as it is built well. Solid metal fixtures with tempered glass lenses and protected placement come through most hail storms with little more than a re-aim.
Can you light historic homes in Fairmount without changing their look?
Yes. For bungalows and cottages we use small, discreet fixtures hidden in beds and focus on porches, columns and entries. Low-voltage lighting sits in the landscape and does not alter the house itself.
Does clay soil affect lighting installation in Fort Worth?
Fort Worth clay shrinks and swells with the weather, which can tilt fixtures over time. We use sturdy stakes, leave slack in buried cable and seal every connection so the system can move with the soil.
When should Fort Worth landscape lights turn on?
Sunset in Fort Worth runs from roughly 5:25 pm in early December to about 8:40 pm in late June. An astronomical timer or smart controller adjusts automatically.
