How Much Does Landscape Lighting Cost in the Lake Oswego Area?
By Yuriy Cheshev, Owner, Grover’s Landscape Services & Design · Last updated September 2026
Landscape lighting for a typical Lake Oswego home runs from a low-thousands path-lighting upgrade to a higher full-property design with uplighting and hardscape integration. Grover’s Landscape Services & Design has designed and installed Landscape Lighting across Lake Oswego, Clackamas County, and the Portland metro since 1995, and the real number always comes from a free on-site walk, not a phone quote.
How Much Does Landscape Lighting Cost?
Three things set the price on any landscape lighting project: how many fixtures the job needs, the grade of fixture specified, and how complex the wiring and transformer setup is. A handful of path lights along one walkway is a different job than a full property design with uplighting on mature trees, step lights, and hardscape-integrated fixtures across multiple zones.
Fixture grade matters more than most homeowners expect. Cast brass and marine-grade aluminum fixtures cost more up front than plastic stake lights, but they’re also the ones still working in ten years instead of one or two seasons. If you’re comparing the best landscape lighting installer near Lake Oswego OR has to offer, ask what fixture brand and housing rating is actually being quoted — that detail changes the real cost far more than a per-fixture number does.
Grover’s doesn’t price landscape lighting over the phone. A crew member walks the property, talks through what you want lit and why, and follows up with a written proposal covering fixture count, wiring scope, and total price before anything is scheduled. Full pricing background lives on our Landscape Lighting service page.
How Much Does It Cost to Install Outdoor Lighting?
Installation cost is really a labor-and-wiring question layered on top of the fixture cost above. Every low voltage LED landscape lighting Portland metro system runs on a 12-volt transformer, with wire routed in zones out to each fixture. Longer wire runs, multiple zones, and smart controllers all add labor time, and an undersized transformer is the single most common mistake we get called out to fix on systems other companies installed.
One piece of good news on cost: most residential low-voltage systems (30 volts or under) fall outside standard electrical permit requirements in Oregon, which keeps installation timelines shorter than a line-voltage (120V) lighting project would need. Grover’s still installs every system to code, and holds Oregon CCB #100592 regardless of permit status.
LED fixtures also cost less to run than the older systems they replace. Per the U.S. Department of Energy, residential LED lighting uses at least 75% less energy than incandescent or halogen lighting — a real factor if you’re comparing a new LED install against an aging halogen system’s monthly electric cost.
Who Installs Landscape Lighting Near Me?
Grover’s crews run landscape lighting jobs across Lake Oswego, Clackamas County, Beaverton, Tualatin, Sherwood, Wilsonville, Hillsboro, Newberg, West Linn, and Salem. If you’re asking who installs outdoor lighting in the Portland metro and want the same crew that installs your landscape to also design and wire the lighting, that in-house handoff is one of the reasons clients stay with us for 15 or 20 years.
For anyone wondering which landscape lighting company near me offers free design consultations, Grover’s does: the initial site visit is free and no-obligation, and it’s where fixture placement, beam spread, and zone layout actually get planned — not guessed at from a catalog.

Types of Landscape Lighting We Install
- Path and garden lighting. Low-voltage LED fixtures spaced and angled so the walkway is lit, not just the property line — useful on the curved paths and multi-step entries common on older Lake Oswego lots.
- Accent and uplighting. Uplighting on specimen trees, downlighting for a soft moonlight effect, and wall grazing on stone or brick features.
- Deck and patio lighting. Step lights, post-cap fixtures, and hardscape-integrated lighting that extends a hardscape or outdoor living space into the evening.
- Security lighting. Motion-activated fixtures at entries, driveways, and side yards, wired into the same low-voltage system instead of a separate mismatched floodlight.
For an outdoor lighting installation Clackamas County OR property with a mix of these needs, all four types typically run off one transformer and one zone plan, which is part of what a proper design consultation sorts out up front.
Why Lake Oswego and Clackamas County Properties Trust Grover’s
Thirty years of installing landscape lighting Lake Oswego OR and Clackamas County properties has taught our crew what actually survives an Oregon wet season — sealed, marine-rated fixtures instead of ones that fog and corrode by the second winter. Grover’s holds Oregon CCB #100592, verifiable through the Oregon Construction Contractors Board, plus general liability and workers’ compensation coverage on every job.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does landscape lighting cost in the Lake Oswego area?
It depends on fixture count, fixture grade, and wiring complexity. A small path-lighting upgrade costs less than a full property design with uplighting and hardscape integration. We provide an exact number in writing after a free site visit.
Do you offer free landscape lighting design consultations?
Yes. The initial site visit and consultation are free, with no obligation to move forward. We walk the property, talk through what you want lit, and follow up with a written proposal.
What landscape lighting types do you install (path, uplighting, deck, security)?
All of them. Path and garden lighting, accent and uplighting on trees and architectural features, deck and patio lighting integrated into hardscape, and motion-activated security fixtures at entries and driveways — usually wired into one coordinated system.
Do you install low-voltage LED systems that hold up in Oregon rain?
Yes. We install sealed, marine-grade LED fixtures rated for sustained Oregon rain rather than lower-grade fixtures that fog or corrode within a season or two.
Do you offer financing for a landscape lighting install?
We don’t currently have an in-house financing program to advertise, but every proposal is written and itemized upfront so you know the full cost before committing, and we’re happy to talk through phased installation if you want to spread a larger project over more than one visit. Call to ask what options make sense for your project.
