Wondering what landscape lighting costs in Austin? Most professionally installed systems here run between roughly $3,500 and $14,000 — driven by property size, fixture count, and material quality. Here’s an honest breakdown before you call for a quote.
What determines your cost
- Number of fixtures. Most Austin homes need 15–45 to light the facade, trees, and paths.
- Fixture material. Solid brass costs more up front but survives Hill Country heat and sun for decades.
- Transformer & wiring. Properly sized, hand-trenched, hidden.
- Design complexity. Uplighting live oaks and moonlighting take more skill and fixtures.
Typical ranges in Austin

| Path & entry lighting | $3,500–$6,000 |

Why brass is worth it
Aluminum and plastic corrode and fade in Texas sun and sprinkler spray. Solid brass keeps working 20+ years. See brass vs. aluminum.
