Lighting Contractor in Sarasota

When it comes to outdoor lighting, design is only part of the job. To get long-term results, you need a lighting contractor who understands installation from the ground up. At Down to Earth Landscape Lighting, we handle every part of the process, from fixture placement to wiring, transformer setup, and custom system configuration.

As your lighting contractor in Sarasota, we don’t just make it look good. We make sure it works, lasts, and integrates seamlessly with how you use your home. Whether you’re starting fresh or upgrading an existing system, we bring clarity, craftsmanship, and care to every project.

3-Step Process

1. Onsite Lighting Walkthrough

We meet you at your property to review goals, walk the space, and inspect any existing equipment or wiring. Whether it’s a brand-new install or a retrofit, we look at everything.

2. Custom Layout and System Design

Our team creates a plan that shows fixture placement, transformer zones, wire routing, and any advanced controls or timers you’d like to include. You’ll get a full picture before we begin.

3. Professional Installation

We handle every part of the install, from trenching and wiring to fixture mounting and voltage testing. The result is a lighting system that looks polished and works flawlessly.

What to Expect

Good lighting design matters only if it’s installed right. We handle voltage drop calculations, precise fixture mounting, safe wire burial, protected connections, and full system testing. We treat every install with the care you’d expect from a top-tier lighting contractor.

You’ll never get a sloppy install or mismatched equipment with our team. Every connection is checked. Every fixture is aimed and adjusted. Every system is tested before we walk away.
