Safer, Stunning Landscape Lighting
Boost curb appeal, light walkways, and enjoy your outdoor space longer after sunset.
Boost curb appeal, light walkways, and enjoy your outdoor space longer after sunset.
We start with a free on-site consultation at your home to review dark areas, entry points, paths, patio spaces, and focal features like trees, beds, pergolas, or stonework. Then we build a custom lighting plan with fixture placement, beam angles, and a clear estimate, usually within 2 to 4 days.
Once approved, we schedule your install and place fixtures with careful wire routing, low-voltage connections, and transformer setup to protect your lawn, mulch beds, and hardscape. Most landscape lighting projects are completed in 1 to 2 days, and we use a detail-first approach that keeps the finished look clean and polished.
After installation, we return at dusk or test the system in low light to fine-tune brightness, spread, and aiming so your home looks balanced, safe, and inviting. We finish with a full walkthrough, show you how the system works, and make sure you are completely happy before we wrap up.
Boost safety, curb appeal, and evening comfort—contact First Tier Services before prime install dates fill up.
At First Tier Services, we design and install landscape lighting that makes your home look better, feel safer, and stay usable after the sun goes down. Good outdoor lighting does more than brighten a walkway. It adds curb appeal, highlights the best parts of your property, improves visibility around steps and paths, and helps you enjoy your patio, deck, pergola, or outdoor living space longer.
As a locally owned company based in Dublin, we work with homeowners across Central Ohio who want lighting that looks clean, works reliably, and fits the style of their home and landscaping. We take the time to plan each system around the property instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. That means better placement, better nighttime appearance, and better long-term value.
A well-planned landscape lighting system gives you both beauty and function. During the day, your landscape already adds to your home. At night, the right lighting keeps that investment visible and useful.
We provide custom outdoor lighting solutions for residential properties. Our service can be part of a larger landscape design and installation project, or it can be added to an existing yard or outdoor living space.
Common landscape lighting options include:
If you are already planning a new outdoor project, we can also coordinate your lighting with landscape design, installs, pergolas, decks, and hardscape construction so the final result feels cohesive from the start.
We keep the process simple and clear. Every property is different, so we start by understanding how you use your yard and what areas matter most to you.
Our goal is to make your property look better after dark, not just brighter. That takes experience, thoughtful layout, and attention to detail.
Homes in Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, and the surrounding Central Ohio area all have their own layout, style, and lighting needs. Some properties need better front walk visibility. Others need to highlight mature trees, retaining walls, patios, or outdoor gathering areas. We design around your home, your lot, and how you want to use the space.
Because we also handle landscape design and installs, hardscape and construction, pergolas, and decks, we understand how lighting should work with the full outdoor environment. That wider experience helps us create systems that feel integrated rather than added on as an afterthought.
Homeowners choose us because we are locally owned, easy to work with, and focused on quality. Owner Ryan Cox is a Dublin native with more than five years of hands-on experience in landscape design and lawn care. He brings a practical eye for layout, function, and long-term value to every project. We know outdoor spaces are an investment, and we treat them that way.
We are also committed to making the process easy. We offer free estimates, and for clients planning broader outdoor improvements, we also provide free landscape design. If you are a DIY homeowner, design-only landscape plans are available as well. Financing is also available for qualifying projects.
Landscape lighting can be installed in many parts of your property, including:
Whether you want a subtle front yard lighting design or a more complete outdoor lighting system for the whole property, we can help you build a plan that matches your goals and budget.
Professional landscape lighting is about more than putting fixtures in the ground. Proper spacing, beam direction, brightness, and fixture placement all affect the final look. When lighting is poorly planned, it can create glare, dark gaps, or an uneven appearance. A professional layout helps avoid those problems and gives you a finished result that looks intentional and high-end.
Our team focuses on clean installation, smart fixture placement, and a balanced nighttime effect that fits the home and landscape. We want your lighting to look good from the street, from the driveway, and from the backyard gathering area.
If you want to improve curb appeal, increase safety, and get more use out of your outdoor space, landscape lighting is a smart upgrade. First Tier Services proudly serves homeowners in Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Delaware, Westerville, Galena, Plain City, Marysville, Sunbury, Johnstown, New Albany, and nearby Central Ohio communities.
