Comparing landscape lighting quotes

Published local ranges run from about $1,000 to more than $20,000. Most of the gap is fixture count, fixture quality and design time. Line the bids up before you pick one.

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.

Put each quote on one line

Red flags

• No fixture count or drawing, just a lump sum.
• Cool white (4000K+) or unshielded fixtures, which may not pass your HOA or town rules.
• No mention of who handles HRCA or HOA approval in Highlands Ranch, where it is required.
• A verbal warranty only. Angi says fixture warranties commonly run 1 to 5 years; get it in writing.

Fair comparisons

Angi's per-fixture ranges (path $100 to $250, spot $150 to $350, flood $200 to $500) are a sanity check: divide each quote by its fixture count. A higher price can be fair for better fixtures or more design work, as long as the quote says so.
