From waterfront homes in The Peninsula to the walkable streets of Antiquity, Lawn Firm designs landscape lighting built for Lake Norman's boating and lakefront lifestyle.
Super responsive, fair price, and worked their hardest in 90+ degree heat to finish.
Cornelius's identity is tied directly to Lake Norman — with more than 35,000 residents and a reputation as one of the lake's upscale boating hubs, the town's waterfront properties have lighting needs inland towns simply don't: dock and shoreline lighting, uplighting for landscaping that has to hold up to lake-effect moisture and reflected glare off the water, and security lighting for boat storage and waterfront access points. In The Peninsula, a gated golf-and-waterfront community, both lakefront and golf-course sightlines factor into where fixtures go.
Antiquity's walkable, village-style layout is a different environment altogether — closer-set homes and pedestrian streets call for path lighting that works with foot traffic rather than sprawling estate lighting, and fixture choices there tend toward a more cohesive, streetscape-friendly look. Jetton Park, Cornelius's 105-acre flagship lakefront park, draws crowds year-round, and homes near it often want lighting that extends their outdoor living space toward the water for evening entertaining.

Landscape Lighting
Every landscape lighting plan is custom-designed around your property's layout and focal points. Here's what we install most often for Cornelius homeowners.
Low, evenly-spaced path lights guide foot traffic safely to your front door and along walkways — reducing trip hazards while adding a warm, welcoming glow to your entryway.
We space and aim each fixture individually rather than using a generic spacing template, so light pools evenly instead of leaving dark gaps.

Uplights placed at the base of trees, columns, and architectural features create dramatic shadow and depth, turning your home's best features into a nightly focal point.
We use adjustable, shielded fixtures to highlight what you want seen and keep glare out of your eyes and your neighbors' windows.

String lights, step lights, and railing-mounted fixtures extend the hours you can actually use your outdoor living space — patios, decks, and fire pit areas included.
Every fixture is wired to a dedicated low-voltage transformer, so you're not running extension cords across your yard.

Well-lights and small accent fixtures tucked into flower beds and garden features add depth to your landscape at night without looking like an airport runway.
We design every layout with dark zones in mind — good landscape lighting is about contrast, not covering every square foot in light.

Homes in The Peninsula and other lakefront properties need lighting designed for shoreline and dock areas, using fixtures rated to handle moisture and glare reflected off the water.
Landscape lighting in this gated community accounts for both lakefront sightlines and the golf course, so fixtures highlight the property without creating glare in either direction.
Antiquity's village-style, closer-set homes call for path and entry lighting that fits a pedestrian streetscape rather than sprawling estate-style lighting more common on larger lake lots.
This range reflects most residential landscape lighting installations we complete in the Cornelius area. Larger properties or fully custom architectural lighting plans may run higher — your free on-site assessment will give you an exact, itemized number.
