Plant lighting does more than make your yard glow—it helps your greenery thrive, guides nighttime movement, and turns plant beds into focal points. In Southwest Florida cities like Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, and Estero, outdoor plant life isn’t just decoration—it’s a year-round investment. But without the right lighting system, all that work fades into darkness the moment the sun sets.
At Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting, we specialize in plant-focused lighting solutions designed to enhance your landscape without overwhelming it. From ornamental grasses to palms, flowering beds to shrubs, we light your living elements with care and precision—so they stand out, stay healthy, and serve your home’s overall design well into the evening.
A plant lighting design starts with understanding how your plants grow—not just where they sit. Our team considers plant height, spread, leaf texture, bloom cycle, and water sensitivity before deciding where, what, and how to light each area. We avoid overexposing delicate species and place fixtures where growth won’t interfere with function. Whether you want your bougainvillea to pop after dark or your palms to cast clean shadows on your entry wall, we’ll build a lighting plan that elevates your landscape and prevents visual chaos. The result is a balanced, layered design where each plant plays a role—not just during the day, but every night.
Even the best-designed plant lighting systems can run into problems—especially when wires get pinched by roots, fixtures are nudged by trimmers, or LEDs begin to dim from water intrusion. Florida’s sandy soils, salt exposure, and year-round humidity wear down even “weatherproof” systems over time. That’s why we offer fast, full-scope repairs for all types of plant lighting. If your fixtures are flickering, dimming, or completely out, we test voltage drop, transformer output, wiring integrity, and fixture seals. We don’t just swap bulbs—we restore function from the base up. Our goal is simple: return your plants to the spotlight they deserve.
Plant lighting is not a set-it-and-forget-it system. As your plants grow and change, your lighting needs to adapt with them. What worked for a 2-foot shrub last season may now cast shadows over your flower beds. That’s why we offer seasonal plant lighting maintenance to keep things sharp. We realign fixtures, clean lenses, trim overgrowth, reset beam angles, and verify your system’s voltage and coverage. We also inspect plant areas for burn risks or signs of stress from improper lighting exposure. Our goal is to maintain both the health of your plants and the quality of your lighting system—without disrupting either.
Installing plant lighting in Florida requires more than burying a wire and screwing in a fixture. We install for durability, aesthetics, and biological respect. Our team carefully routes wires to avoid root systems, places fixtures to account for future plant growth, and ensures every component is sealed against moisture and insects. We also coordinate with your irrigation system to avoid overlap, shorting, or fixture corrosion from direct water flow. Whether you’re lighting a hedgerow, a garden island, or a series of planter beds, we install with your full yard in mind. Clean layout, seamless coverage, and worry-free performance—that’s our standard.
A visual glance won’t tell you if your plant lighting is working right. Dimming may happen slowly. A wire may corrode silently. And a shift in your irrigation pressure could be soaking fixtures without your knowledge. Our plant lighting inspections cover every point of failure—wiring, transformer loads, LED condition, fixture aim, seal integrity, and potential plant interference. We walk each lighting zone with a real-time checklist and provide a follow-up report with action steps, if needed. Whether you’re selling your home, just moved in, or haven’t touched your lighting in years, our inspections reveal the truth before small issues become major expenses.
