I’m Hayes Bauer

Upscapes Founder and Staples High School Student in Westport, CT.

I created Upscape to bring thoughtful, modern landscape lighting to local homes at an affordable price. I approach each project with a design-first mindset, focusing on subtle, elegant lighting that elevates your architecture and landscaping.

I lead every project from start to finish — the design walkthrough, the lighting plan, the fixture selection, on-site project management during install, and the after-dark fine-tuning that makes the system look right. The actual electrical installation is handled by our licensed Connecticut electrical contractor, who I work alongside on every job. My dad partners with me on operations, customer experience, and making sure every install is done with the level of care a homeowner expects from work on their property

Upscape is a small, family-run lighting company, and that’s exactly why I can give your home the personal attention and craftsmanship it deserves.
