✨ Why Lighting Design Matters More Than Ever

Your home’s outdoor space is more than a backyard — it’s an extension of your lifestyle. But once the sun sets, that beautiful patio, landscape bed, or water feature? It disappears into the dark.

That’s where professional outdoor lighting comes in.

At G Construction & Landscape, we specialize in building high-performance, low-voltage landscape lighting systems that combine luxury, safety, and energy efficiency — all designed to meet ICPI construction standards and perfectly complement Unilock paver installations.

💡 What Is Professional Outdoor Lighting?

Outdoor lighting is more than just spotlights and pathway lights. It’s a strategic lighting system that uses precision-designed fixtures and smart controllers to:

Highlight architectural elements
Accentuate plantings, trees, and focal points
Add safety to walkways, steps, and driveways
Create a mood or ambiance around outdoor living areas

We design systems using brands like FX Luminaire, Unique Lighting Systems, and Kichler Pro, with features including:

✅ Zoning & dimming✅ Wi-Fi & app-based control✅ Photocell/timer integration✅ Brass, aluminum, or composite housings✅ Expandability for future fixtures

📐 Built to Work With Pavers & Hardscapes

Because we’re ICPI-certified and Unilock Authorized Contractors, our lighting systems are installed during or after your paver patio build using hardscape-compatible techniques:

Conduit channels beneath patios or walls
Low-voltage runs integrated with step lights
Recessed lights that sit flush with pavers
Core-drilled caps or pillar-mounted lights

We follow strict ICPI best practices to ensure your base integrity, slope, and compaction aren’t compromised during or after installation.
