From the mature tree canopy of Sardis Forest to the HOA-governed subdivisions surrounding historic downtown Matthews, Lawn Firm designs landscape lighting that fits each neighborhood's distinct standards.
Super responsive, fair price, and worked their hardest in 90+ degree heat to finish.
Matthews' history as a Charlotte suburb dating to the pre-1800s railroad era shows up in its landscaping as much as in its historic downtown — neighborhoods like Sardis Plantation and Sardis Forest have decades-old tree canopies well suited to uplighting, while newer communities like Deerfield Creek are working with younger landscapes that call for a different approach. Because Matthews is a patchwork of dozens of subdivisions, each with its own HOA architectural standard, Lawn Firm designs every project around what that specific neighborhood's guidelines allow rather than a one-size-fits-all fixture package.
With more than 32,000 residents and corporate headquarters like Family Dollar and Harris Teeter based in town, Matthews draws homeowners who want their property to look as established as the town itself — that means path lighting through the historic Crestdale area, accent lighting for homes near Stumptown Park or Squirrel Lake Park, and security lighting for properties along the Four Mile Creek Greenway. Matthews Alive Parade draws crowds downtown every year, and Lawn Firm sees a similar pride of place reflected in how residents invest in their home exteriors after dark.

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 Matthews 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.

Decades-old trees in these established neighborhoods are ideal for uplighting — Lawn Firm designs fixture placement around the actual canopy rather than a generic tree-lighting package.
Matthews is a patchwork of subdivisions each with its own architectural review board, so lighting plans for Deerfield Creek or historic Crestdale are designed to match that specific community's fixture and color-temperature standards.
Homes near Four Mile Creek Greenway, Stumptown Park, or Squirrel Lake Park often add security and path lighting for properties bordering public green space, alongside standard entry and patio lighting.
This range reflects most residential landscape lighting installations we complete in the Matthews area. Larger properties or fully custom architectural lighting plans may run higher — your free on-site assessment will give you an exact, itemized number.
