How much does landscape lighting cost?
Angi's 2026 figures for landscape lighting (updated Oct 29, 2026).
Size drives the price. Angi puts a 4-8 fixture system at $800 to $2,000 and 17 or more fixtures at $4,500 to $10,000. Local installers publish wider spreads: MSI Mechanical in Lone Tree lists $1,500 to $3,500 for a basic 8-12 fixture system, while Lighthouse Outdoor Lighting in Denver says its projects start at $5,000 and most run $8,000 to $20,000. That's why two quotes for the same yard can be thousands apart. See the full cost guide.

Local rules
Why lighting here comes with rules
Highlands Ranch needs HRCA approval
The Highlands Ranch Community Association's Residential Improvement Guidelines (adopted October 2024) require Architectural Review Committee approval for new or replacement exterior fixtures, landscape and accent lighting included. Landscape fixtures must be low voltage, and every fixture must keep its light cone inside the property.
The county leans dark-sky
Douglas County's dark-sky guidance says landscape lighting is "discouraged, especially up-lighting or 'moonlighting' of trees," asks for fully shielded fixtures, and suggests color temperature no higher than 3000K. Lone Tree, Castle Pines, Parker and Centennial each have their own lighting code with shielding or lumen limits.
None of this rules out good lighting. It favors low, shielded, warm light aimed where you need it, which is how most installers design anyway. The rules page lays out each town side by side.

Areas we cover
We have local pages, with each town's own rules, for these places:
We also take requests from nearby parts of Douglas and Arapahoe counties.
Planting a privacy screen first? Our sister site Denver Privacy Trees (same operator) takes evergreen planting requests.
How this works: Highlands Ranch Lighting is a free referral service, not a lighting contractor. We pass your request to independent local lighting installers, who may pay us for the referral. They quote, schedule and do the work; check their insurance before you hire. More about us.
