Expert Outdoor Lighting in Portland, OR

Does your Portland home fade into darkness after sunset? Outdoor lighting does more than just brighten your yard—it extends your living space, enhances safety, and showcases your landscape’s best features. At GreenScape Landscaping, we’ve spent 14 years helping homeowners across the Portland area turn their properties into glowing retreats. Whether you want to highlight a majestic oak, illuminate a winding path, or create a cozy entertainment zone, our custom outdoor lighting solutions are designed for the unique Pacific Northwest climate. We understand that Portland’s rainy evenings call for fixtures that are both beautiful and weather-resistant. Our team works with you to select energy-efficient LED systems that reduce glare and electricity costs while adding warmth and security. Common problems we solve: dark entryways that feel unwelcoming, trip hazards on uneven paths, undervalued backyard spaces, and lack of nighttime curb appeal. Let us help you see your home in a new light.

Outdoor Lighting Pricing Guide

Outdoor lighting in Portland typically ranges from $2,000 to $8,000 depending on your property size, number of fixtures, and complexity of design. A small pathway or accent lighting project for a typical city lot may start around $2,500. Larger installations with multiple zones—pathways, patios, uplighting on trees, and security lights—can run $5,000 to $7,000. Factors that affect cost include fixture quality (brass vs. aluminum), whether we need to run long wire runs through rocky soil, and if you choose smart controls for dimming and timers. We use only commercial-grade LED fixtures that resist Portland’s damp winters, so you won’t pay for frequent replacements. Our transparent quote includes all materials, labor, and a 2-year warranty. While you can buy DIY kits, our experience designing and installing lighting for 14 years means you get reliable, beautiful results without hidden costs.
