Landscape Lighting Services in Westchester & The Hudson Valley

Blue Hour Lighting designs and installs low-voltage landscape lighting and outdoor audio systems across Westchester County, the Hudson Valley, and Greenwich, Connecticut. Based in upstate New York, we work with residential, commercial, and HOA properties from the first on-site visit through the finished installation. Every residential project begins with a property visit and a detailed lighting plan for the homeowner to approve.

Our Landscape Lighting & Outdoor Audio Services

Landscape Lighting Design & Installation

A detailed lighting plan and written estimate are prepared before each outdoor lighting installation, with every fixture, transformer, and cable route planned for the property. LED fixtures in brass, copper, or stainless steel are selected for the weather and exposure at each position.

Patio, Wall & Walkway Lighting

Blue Hour Lighting integrates lighting into steps, walls, pillars, patios, and pavers for safety and visibility, with each fixture recessed so the source stays discreet. Where masonry is still under construction, sleeves for future wiring can be coordinated before the work is finished.

Outdoor Sound Systems

Outdoor audio is installed by the same team that handles the lighting. Blue Hour Lighting installs Sonance systems with satellite speakers and subwoofers for even coverage at a natural volume across patios, lawns, pools, and gardens, with the satellites set in planting beds and the subwoofers installed below grade.

Smart Controls & Automation

The lighting works with Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, Savant, Lutron, Control4, and Crestron. Scenes and schedules set which lights come on, dim, or hold, all from a phone, a smart device, or a wall switch.

Commercial & HOA Lighting

Blue Hour Lighting provides lighting for buildings, office parks, apartment properties, and HOA communities. Commercial and HOA work begins with a paid lighting-level inspection and assessment that addresses security, protects residents, and reduces liability exposure.

Seasonal Maintenance Plans

After the one-year workmanship warranty, an optional maintenance plan is available to keep the system working year after year. Residential plans include two scheduled visits covering fixture adjustment, lens cleaning, a bulb check, control testing, and transformer checks.

Holiday Lighting

Blue Hour Lighting installs professionally managed seasonal displays beginning in November, with take-down in mid-January. Installation dates are limited each season, so scheduling by October 1 is recommended. Off-season storage is available for an added cost.

Our Lighting Installation Process, Stage by Stage

Shaped by the property’s outdoor lighting needs, every landscape lighting project follows the same sequence of stages, from the first property visit to the final adjustment of each fixture on site.

What Every Lighting Project Includes

Each landscape lighting installation includes:

Professional-grade LED fixtures. Brass, copper, or stainless steel selected for each position, many carrying lifetime factory warranties depending on the product and maker.
Low-voltage installation. Direct-burial cable, outdoor-rated connectors, and transformers mounted above anticipated snow levels.
One-year workmanship warranty. Standard on every installation.

Design and installation are done by the Blue Hour Lighting team, from start to finish, with no subcontractors.

Frequently Asked Questions About Landscape Lighting

What do landscape lighting services from Blue Hour Lighting include?

Blue Hour Lighting’s landscape lighting services include a carefully designed plan, appropriately specified equipment, well-planned wire routes, reliable outdoor connections, and fixture placement that considers architecture, planting, circulation, and glare. The system can also improve visibility at steps, grade changes, and other outdoor areas used after dark, providing another layer of safety and security.

Does landscape lighting installation need an electrician?

The system operates at approximately 12 volts beyond the transformer, so the fixtures, cable, and connections are low-voltage components. Where a new GFCI-protected outlet or switch is needed for the transformer, Blue Hour Lighting handles that work as part of the project.

Which fixture makers does Blue Hour Lighting install?

Blue Hour Lighting installs professional-grade LED fixtures from Kichler, CAST Lighting, FX Luminaire, Brilliance LED, Auroralight, Unique Lighting Systems, and Infinity Lighting. The lighting plan determines which fixture goes where. Blue Hour Lighting is a Gold Level Kichler LightPro contractor and a Sonance authorized dealer and installer.

Can Blue Hour Lighting repair an existing landscape lighting system?

Yes, existing landscape lighting systems are serviced and repaired, including systems installed by other companies. The same on-site visit applies, and the typical problems in an older system are improper wire size, poor connections, overloaded circuits, and transformers. Lamps are replaced as necessary.

How much does a landscape lighting project cost?

Every property requires a different scope of work based on the homeowner’s needs and the layout of the property. The estimate is shaped by how much of the property is lit, fixture count and placement, transformer capacity, wire run length, material grade, trenching conditions, and the number of independently controlled zones. For a home, a free on-site consultation provides the information needed to develop an accurate estimate.
