What kind of light fixtures do you install for a backyard in Oregon?

We install low-voltage LED path lights, uplights for trees and architectural features, and security-oriented fixtures near entries, all rated for constant PNW moisture exposure so they hold up through wet winters and dry summers alike without corroding.

How much power does outdoor landscape lighting actually use?

Most residential systems run on a single low-voltage transformer sized to the number of fixtures, drawing modest household power comparable to a few light bulbs. The transformer plugs into a GFCI-protected outdoor outlet for safety.

Do landscape lights need much maintenance once they're installed?

Maintenance is minimal. Most of it is bulb replacement over the years and occasionally repositioning a fixture as plants grow in. Green River Landscapes can be reached for adjustments any time after the initial install.

Can landscape lighting help with safety around my driveway and walkway at night?

Yes. Path and step lighting reduces trip hazards on uneven Oregon walkways and improves visibility at entries and driveways, which matters most during the region's long, dark winter evenings.

Will landscape lighting survive an Oregon winter without a problem?

Fixtures and wiring installed by Green River Landscapes are moisture-rated for year-round PNW exposure, from summer dry spells to wet, freezing winter nights. Professional installation avoids the corrosion issues common with big-box kits.

Landscape Lighting | Wilsonville, OR

Green River Landscapes is a licensed Oregon landscape contractor (Oregon LCB License #9793) installing outdoor lighting for homeowners across Wilsonville, Tualatin, Sherwood, and the broader Portland metro area. Landscape lighting installation means placing and wiring low-voltage fixtures along paths, on trees, and near entries so a yard is safe to walk and pleasant to look at after dark. We size the transformer, run the wiring, and set each fixture so it holds up through the season, and we see how lighting pairs with a patio or hardscape project.

Landscape lighting covers a few different jobs in one system: low-voltage path lights that mark a walkway, uplighting that shows off a tree or an architectural feature, and security-style fixtures near entries and driveways. Because Oregon winters bring months of steady rain, every fixture and wire connection we use is rated for constant moisture. Dark winter evenings are exactly when this lighting earns its keep, and professional installation means the wiring, transformer sizing, and fixture placement are all done right the first time.
