At Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting, we believe outdoor lighting should do more than glow, it should reframe how you use, enjoy, and showcase your property. The most common questions we receive always point back to the same need: lighting that feels seamless, performs daily, and looks like it belongs. These five answers are built on real installs, real environments, and real performance in Florida’s coastal climate.
Lighting is one of the most effective ways to enhance both the look and safety of a property. A well-planned system adds depth, definition, and comfort after dark. According to the National Association of Realtors’ Remodeling Impact Report: Outdoor Features, homeowners recover an average of 59% of their investment in landscape lighting at resale. Real estate professionals consistently recommend exterior lighting for its curb appeal and practical value. Good lighting not only highlights architectural features but also improves visibility, deters unwanted visitors, and makes every evening at home feel more inviting.
Davidson Irrigation serves Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Estero, Bonita Springs, and Naples with full lighting design and installation. Every project begins with a property walk to assess drainage, shade, and focal points. We develop a plan tailored to your landscape. Our systems rely on efficient LED fixtures for paths, driveways, gardens, and outdoor entertaining areas. They’re bright when you need them to be but stay energy conscious year-round.
Each area of a property calls for a different touch. We handle walkway and driveway lights, accent lighting for trees and façades, pool cage and patio lighting, and even compliant dock lighting for waterfront homes. Dock installations follow Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission standards: fixtures stay low, use long-wavelength amber or red tones, and face downward to protect local wildlife. The result is practical, attractive lighting that fits the coastal setting.
Florida’s weather is rough on anything left outdoors. Cheaper lights corrode, peel, or seize up within a season. We install fixtures made from solid brass, copper, or marine-grade composites that resist salt corrosion and moisture three to five times longer than aluminum. They’re built to an IP65 rating or higher, which means they keep out water and dust even during storm season. These fixtures keep their finish and color season after season, staying just as attractive as the day they were installed.
You don’t have to go outside to manage your lighting anymore. Using a phone or tablet, you can brighten pathways, dim accent lights, or create different settings for entertaining and relaxing. The system connects over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and adjusts instantly. It’s one of those upgrades that quietly makes daily life easier while keeping energy use low.
Outdoor lighting doesn’t stop at pathways and patios. If you’re looking to highlight plant life or improve efficiency across your lighting system, we also offer solutions designed specifically for modern gardens.
Bring attention to feature plants, trees and garden beds with purpose-built plant lighting. These fixtures create depth, shadowing and soft upward illumination that makes your landscape feel alive at night. Ideal for showcasing statement foliage or adding dimension to darker corners of your yard.
Upgrade to long-lasting, low-energy LED lighting for consistent brightness and reduced power use. LED systems are durable, cost-efficient and perfect for homeowners who want reliable illumination with minimal maintenance. They provide crisp, clear lighting that enhances visibility and elevates the overall appearance of your outdoor space.

Florida’s weather is not kind to cheap lighting. High humidity, salt air, and year-round exposure quickly corrode weak finishes and crack subpar housing. We only install solid brass, copper, or marine-grade composite fixtures specifically rated for long-term durability in Fort Myers, Estero, Cape Coral, and Bonita Springs. Our fixtures resist corrosion, withstand harsh UV exposure, and perform flawlessly through summer storms and seasonal transitions. Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting doesn’t install lights that shine for six months, we install fixtures that survive six years without fail. A lighting system is only as reliable as its weakest fixture, and we refuse to compromise on quality.
The secret to impactful lighting is restraint. More fixtures don’t always mean more beauty, they often mean more glare, more chaos, and more disappointment. At Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting, we design using contrast, depth, and purposeful placement to highlight structure without flooding your space with unnecessary brightness. Our designs create layers of warm, balanced illumination that make your yard feel inviting, safe, and sophisticated after dark. You’ll see the results without seeing the source, which is the mark of expert lighting. We light focal points, frame the home’s lines, and guide movement through the yard with lighting that feels intuitive, not overdone.
Absolutely. The best outdoor lighting designs prioritize visual appeal while increasing perimeter visibility, pathway navigation, and zone awareness. Homeowners in Cape Coral and Bonita Springs are often surprised that elegant, understated lighting improves security more than any harsh floodlight ever could. We position downlights and step lights strategically to eliminate tripping hazards, define walkways, and increase confidence during nighttime use without turning your yard into a spotlight showcase. Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting believes beauty and security are not mutually exclusive, they’re two halves of the same smart system. We build lighting that makes you feel secure while still impressing your guests.
Smart lighting gives you full control of your entire system with just a phone or tablet, and in Southwest Florida, that control makes a difference every single day. Whether you want to adjust brightness, change timing, or set seasonal themes, you can do it without stepping outside. We install Bluetooth and Wi-Fi-enabled transformers that let you fine-tune lighting from anywhere, so your yard always looks its best, even when you’re not home. At Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting, smart systems are no longer upgrades, they’re standard tools for homeowners who value ease, consistency, and polish. You’re not just turning lights on and off, you’re managing your home’s nighttime personality.
Landscape lighting is low-maintenance, but it’s not no-maintenance, especially in Florida, where plants grow fast and salt air wears on everything. Over time, lights shift, lenses get dirty, and connections need checking to maintain peak performance and safety. That’s why Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting offers full lighting system tune-ups in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Estero, and Bonita Springs. We inspect every fixture, adjust aim, clean lenses, and recheck voltage to make sure your system still performs like the day it was installed. Preventative maintenance ensures your investment continues delivering maximum impact every single night.
If you spent time, money, and care creating a beautiful yard, it shouldn’t vanish after dark. Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting provides custom outdoor lighting systems designed specifically for homes across Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Estero, and Bonita Springs. We don’t guess, we measure, plan, install, and maintain lighting that enhances the property you’ve already built.
