Landscape Lighting in Frisco, TX
Custom low-voltage LED landscape lighting for Frisco homes, designed for newer construction, master-planned community guidelines and North Texas weather.
Landscape lighting for a fast-growing city
Frisco has grown from a small town into one of the busiest cities in North Texas, and much of its housing is new. That creates a specific set of lighting needs: crisp new facades, young landscapes still filling in, and master-planned communities with clear design standards.
Texas Landscape Lights designs and installs custom 12V LED systems for Frisco homeowners in both Collin and Denton County. We serve Starwood, Stonebriar, Newman Village, Phillips Creek Ranch, Richwoods, Hollyhock, Frisco Lakes, Panther Creek and the newer neighborhoods north toward the Fields development. Each project starts with a free consultation and night demo, then a written proposal.
Stone, brick and modern farmhouse
Frisco homes are mostly masonry, with builders using a mix of brick, cast stone and the cream or white limestone-look stone popular across North Texas. Older sections near Stonebriar and Starwood include large traditional and French-inspired homes. Newman Village is known for its traditional, front-porch neighborhood design. Newer streets lean heavily toward modern farmhouse and transitional styles with white or painted brick, board and batten siding, black windows and gabled porches.
Clean modern elevations reward precise, symmetrical lighting: matched fixtures on each side of the entry, soft light on gables and porch columns, and careful aiming so light does not spill onto windows. Stone sections can be grazed to show texture, while painted brick needs a wider, gentler wash.
Designing around young trees
Many Frisco yards are only a few years old. Builder trees, often live oaks, cedar elms, red oaks or Chinese pistache, may still be small, and beds are filled with young boxwood, dwarf yaupon, Indian hawthorn, liriope and ornamental grasses. Crape myrtles and Eastern red cedars are common accents.
We design these yards in two stages. Today, the facade, entry and paths carry the look, with small accents on young trees. As the canopy grows, fixtures can be moved back from the trunk, switched to wider beams, or added to light the upper canopy. Because the system is low voltage, these changes are simple. Our path light spacing guide covers how we lay out walks and drives on newer lots.
| Frisco factor | Why it matters | Our approach |
|---|---|---|
| HOA design standards | Exterior changes may need review | Layouts and fixture specs ready for submission |
| Young landscapes | Plants and trees grow fast | Adjustable fixtures and room to expand |
| Hail and ice | Common in Collin and Denton County | Solid metal fixtures, tempered glass, protected placement |
| New irrigation and sod | Easy to damage during install | Careful routing around heads and lines |
New backyards, pools and outdoor kitchens
Frisco backyards are often where homeowners invest next, adding a pool, covered patio, outdoor kitchen or fire pit a year or two after moving in. If that is on your list, it pays to plan lighting at the same time. We can run cable and set transformer capacity for future zones so the backyard can be added later without tearing up new sod or hardscape.
Once the space is built, we focus on comfortable, glare-free light: soft downlights from pergolas and eaves, step lights on level changes, gentle accents on trees and fences, and pool lighting balanced with the surrounding landscape. On smaller lots with close neighbors, careful aiming matters more than fixture count.
Master-planned communities and HOAs
Most Frisco neighborhoods have HOAs, and master-planned communities like Phillips Creek Ranch, Starwood, Newman Village and Richwoods typically have architectural guidelines for exterior changes. Landscape lighting is usually welcome, but some associations want a quick review. We provide a simple plan and fixture details, aim every light onto your property, and use warm 2700K to 3000K light that fits most community standards.
Gated communities such as Starwood and parts of Stonebriar often have tighter rules about visible equipment. We mount transformers discreetly near the house and keep fixtures low and tucked into beds.
North Texas weather
Frisco shares the same storm patterns as the rest of the northern Metroplex: spring hail, occasional ice storms and long, hot summers on clay soil. Quality fixtures and sealed connections make the difference. Read our tips on protecting landscape lighting from Texas storms for what to check after severe weather.
Sunset and scheduling
Sunset in Frisco runs from roughly 5:20 pm in early December to about 8:40 pm in late June. With busy family schedules, an app-based controller is the easy choice: lights follow sunset, and you can change zones for parties, holidays or travel. Our sunset timer planner shows suggested on and off times by month.
- Architectural lighting for stone, brick and modern farmhouse homes.

Landscape lighting in Frisco: FAQ
Do Frisco HOAs allow landscape lighting?
Most do, and many encourage it. Some master-planned communities ask for a simple architectural submission for exterior changes, so we provide a layout and fixture details to make approval easy.
My trees are young. Is it worth lighting them now?
Yes. We place adjustable fixtures that work for a young tree today and can be moved back, re-aimed or upgraded in beam spread as the canopy grows. The facade and paths carry the design until the trees mature.
Can you add lighting to a brand-new Frisco home?
Yes, and new construction is a good time to plan it. We can coordinate around irrigation, sod and beds, and if you need an exterior outlet for the transformer, a licensed electrician handles that line-voltage work.
How does hail affect landscape lighting in Frisco?
Hail is common in Collin and Denton County. Solid metal fixtures with tempered glass lenses handle it far better than plastic, and most storms mean a quick check rather than replacement.
When should my Frisco landscape lights turn on?
Sunset in Frisco runs from roughly 5:20 pm in early December to about 8:40 pm in late June. A smart controller or astronomical timer tracks it automatically.
