Outdoor Lighting Installation in Tysons, Virginia

Lawn Theory designs and installs low-voltage lighting systems built for how Tysons properties are actually used \— path lights that guide guests up a Craftsman-style walkway in Old Courthouse without glare in a neighbor's window, wall-wash fixtures that pull the brick facade of a Rotonda-area home out of the dark, step lights recessed into stone risers so nobody misjudges a tread coming up from a lower patio, and uplighting on mature trees that gives a.

The Short Answer

A professionally installed low-voltage landscape lighting system for a typical Tysons home runs $2,500–$7,500, with most projects landing near $3,500–$5,000 for 12–20 fixtures covering a front walkway, entry, and accent trees. Fixture-only pricing runs roughly $100–$200 installed per light depending on type (path, uplight, or wash) and wire-run distance. Because these systems run on 12-volt transformers, most residential installs in Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, Arlington, and Alexandria are exempt from a building permit — we still pull one whenever a project ties into house power or a irrigation-timer panel, per current Virginia electrical code. Most installs are designed, wired, and lit up in a single day.

Tysons, Answered

Outdoor Lighting Installation in Tysons — Common Questions

Will low-voltage lighting work with the mature trees and mixed grading found in Old Courthouse and Wolftrap Vale?

Yes. Low-voltage systems are built for exactly this kind of terrain. We survey root zones, retaining walls, and grade changes before running any wire, then route and bury cable to avoid established landscaping so nothing gets disturbed. Our crews work Tysons regularly, so scheduling is usually available within the week outside the spring rush — and every visit ends with before-and-after photos of the finished work.

How do you keep fixtures from shining into a neighbor's window in a dense area like The Boro or The Rotonda?

Every fixture is aimed and shielded during a nighttime walk-through, not just set by daytime guesswork. In stacked or close-set properties we use lower-lumen, narrow-beam fixtures and cutoff shields so light stays on your property and off adjacent units. Our crews work Tysons regularly, so scheduling is usually available within the week outside the spring rush — and every visit ends with before-and-after photos of the finished work.

What's included in a typical outdoor lighting installation?

A properly sized transformer, buried and sleeved low-voltage wiring, path and step lights, wall-wash or uplighting for facades and trees as needed, and a timer or photocell control so the system runs on a schedule without manual switching. Our crews work Tysons regularly, so scheduling is usually available within the week outside the spring rush — and every visit ends with before-and-after photos of the finished work.

How long does installation take for an average Tysons property?

Most single-family lots in areas like Old Courthouse or Wolftrap Vale are completed in one to two days. Townhome and condo-adjacent properties with tighter side yards, like those near Vale at Tysons or Idylwood, are typically a single-day install. Our crews work Tysons regularly, so scheduling is usually available within the week outside the spring rush — and every visit ends with before-and-after photos of the finished work.

Do you handle the wiring and transformer setup, or just the fixtures?

We handle the full system: transformer sizing and placement, wire runs, fixture installation, and control setup. Nothing gets left as a half-finished job for another contractor to sort out later. Our crews work Tysons regularly, so scheduling is usually available within the week outside the spring rush — and every visit ends with before-and-after photos of the finished work.

Is outdoor lighting mainly for looks, or does it improve safety too?

Both, and we design for both. Step and path lighting reduces trip hazards on uneven walkways and stone steps, while a lit perimeter removes the dark cover that makes a property look unattended after dark. Our crews work Tysons regularly, so scheduling is usually available within the week outside the spring rush — and every visit ends with before-and-after photos of the finished work.

How much does outdoor lighting installation cost in Northern Virginia?

Most low-voltage landscape lighting projects run $2,500–$7,500, with a typical front-yard system of 12–20 fixtures landing around $3,500–$5,000 installed. Per-fixture pricing runs roughly $100–$200 depending on fixture type and wire-run length. Whole-property systems with multiple transformer zones can run $10,000 or more.
