Serving Tidewater · Mon–Fri 9:00 – 5:00
As a landscape lighting contractor, we design and install low-voltage outdoor lighting for the decks, fences and yards we build, and for existing ones too, using Volt Lighting fixtures that we purchase and supply ourselves as part of the project, the same way we supply any other material on a job.
That's different from how our Eagle Patio pergola line works, where you buy the kit directly from Eagle Patio and we handle site prep and installation. With lighting, there's no separate purchase on your end — it's a normal materials-included part of the build, priced into your project the same way decking or fencing material is.
The system runs on Volt's low-voltage transformers, which use a timer and photocell (daylight sensor) receptacle to switch the lights on automatically at dusk and off again at dawn — nothing to remember, no timer to reset when the seasons change. The transformer cabinets are weatherproof stainless steel, built to sit outside year-round in Tidewater's humidity and salt air.
This outdoor lighting isn't tied to one service on our end — we've run it on deck stairs and railings, along fence panels and garden beds, and up into trees for uplighting. That range is part of why it gets its own page here instead of staying buried inside just the Decks or Fences page.
Volt Lighting (voltlighting.com) is the fixture brand we install for this service. Every system includes:
Volt backs its brass fixtures, LED bulbs and transformers with its own lifetime warranty — full terms are on Volt's warranty page. That's Volt's warranty on the product itself, not ours. It's separate from Evoke's own one-year workmanship warranty, which covers the installation work we do — the same separation we make on our Eagle Patio pergola line.
This isn't a one-off — it's the same Volt low-voltage system, installed the same way, on real jobs across decks and fences:
Riser lights line every stair, post lights mark the railing, and lighting traces the gazebo's skirt — all run on Volt low-voltage transformers with daylight sensors. View this project →

Landscape lighting typically runs $1,000 to $7,500 installed, averaging around $4,000 nationally, according to HomeAdvisor. Your real number depends on how many fixtures you need, transformer size, and how much wiring or trenching the yard requires.
More stairs, railings, fence panels and trees to light means more fixtures and more transformer capacity.
Larger properties or more fixtures need a bigger transformer, which changes the equipment cost.
Running low-voltage wire through an existing, established landscape costs more than wiring it in during new construction.
Lighting installed while we're already building your deck or fence costs less than adding it to a finished one later.
| Fixture Type | Typical Installed Cost |
|---|---|
| Low-voltage landscape lighting | $90 – $150 per fixture |
| Uplights (trees & plantings) | $100 – $400 per fixture |
| Path & stair lights | $50 – $150 per fixture |

We price lighting the same way we price the rest of the project — good, better, best material tiers, so you control the cost based on what you choose, plus a firm, written quote before anything is signed. No surprise change orders once the work starts.
Most landscape lighting projects run $1,000 to $7,500 installed, averaging around $4,000 nationally per HomeAdvisor. Fixture count, transformer size and how much wiring the yard needs move your specific number.
No. We purchase and supply the Volt Lighting fixtures ourselves as part of the project. That's different from our Eagle Patio pergola line, where the homeowner buys the kit directly and we handle installation.
Volt Lighting. Their transformers use a photocell (daylight sensor) for automatic on and off, and Volt backs its brass fixtures, LED bulbs and transformers with its own lifetime warranty.
Yes — every system runs on a Volt low-voltage transformer with a photocell (daylight sensor) receptacle, so it switches on at dusk and off at dawn automatically.
Yes. On our Riverfront project in Norfolk, we worked Volt lighting into the fence panels, the garden bed and the trees — it's the same system whether it's going on a deck, a fence or open yard space.
Evoke's own one-year workmanship warranty covers the installation. Volt's separate lifetime warranty covers the brass fixtures, LED bulbs and transformers themselves.
