Outdoor lighting is one of the most powerful upgrades you can make to your landscape. When designed and installed correctly, it improves safety, highlights your home’s architecture, and completely transforms how your property looks at night.
At Acadiana Landscape Materials, we specialize in professional low voltage outdoor lighting systems for homes and commercial properties in Youngsville, Broussard, Lafayette, and surrounding Acadiana areas.
This page covers everything you need to know about outdoor lighting—how it works, why it matters, and why professional design and installation make all the difference.
Outdoor Lighting That Adds Beauty, Safety, and Value
Outdoor lighting does more than illuminate your yard. It creates depth, improves visibility, and brings your landscape to life after dark.
A professionally designed lighting system can:
-
Improve nighttime safety and visibility
-
Enhance curb appeal and property value
-
Highlight trees, landscaping, and architectural features
-
Extend the use of patios, walkways, and outdoor living areas
-
Deter unwanted activity through proper illumination
The goal is not brightness—it’s balance, placement, and purpose.
Our Outdoor Lighting Services
We design and install custom low voltage landscape lighting systems tailored to your property. Every lighting plan is built around how you use your space and what you want to highlight.
Landscape Lighting Design
Lighting starts with a plan. Our design process considers:
-
Property layout and elevation changes
-
Trees, shrubs, and planting beds
-
Architectural features and focal points
-
Light angles, spacing, and beam spread
-
Future plant growth and landscape changes
Good lighting should feel natural—not harsh or ovedone.

We install energy-efficient LED low voltage lighting systems designed to last. Proper installation is critical for performance and longevity.
Our installations include:

-
Balanced voltage across all fixtures
