  • Gorgeous tree uplighting

    Uplighting

    Subtle beams that highlight your home’s architecture and mature trees, adding dramatic curb appeal without harsh glare.

  • Pathway lighting for safety

    Pathway Lighting

    Low-profile fixtures that guide guests safely to your front door, pool, or patio while looking clean and minimal.

  • Driveway and stone wall lighting

    Driveways & Stone Walls

    Precision lighting that defines your property’s edges and elevates the look of stonework and hardscaping. Creates a dramatic nighttime entryway that looks luxurious and improves visibility for guests.

    Hidden LED strips that wash patios, steps, and architectural lines with a soft modern glow. Perfect for creating elegant, resort-style accents without visible fixtures.

How it Works

  • We walk your property with you, discuss how you use each space, and sketch a custom lighting plan. Request your walkthrough here

  • Our licensed electrical partner installs your system with minimal disruption — no trenches left open, no mess. An Upscape project lead is on site to manage the day and ensure the design is executed exactly as planned.

  • We return after dark to aim and fine-tune every fixture so the light looks perfect from the street and from inside your home.

  • We reveal your new lighting installation with a bottle of champagne and a celebratory toast (optional)

  • We’re available for seasonal adjustments, upgrades, and service as your property evolves.

Homeowners Love the Upscape Glow

  • Upscape transformed our backyard

    The tree uplighting they installed, especially on our Japanese maple, looks incredible every night. Hayes was professional, fast, and clearly cares about the details. The champagne toast at the end was an unexpected touch that made the whole experience feel special. Couldn’t recommend Upscape more.

FAQ

  • Upscape is a family-run business, and I (Hayes Bauer) am the founder, but every project is supervised and quality-checked by experienced adults like my dad who ensure the work meets professional standards. I handle design, fixture placement, and layout, while licensed specialists handle the technical work when needed.
    Clients love the combination of fresh design thinking and meticulous oversight. The results speak for themselves.

  • Yes — on both counts. Upscape is a fully insured Delaware C Corporation and carries general liability coverage for outdoor lighting design and project management work; proof of insurance available on request. All electrical installation is performed by our licensed Connecticut electrical contractor [name and CT license # once you have one], who carries their own contractor's insurance and pulls any required permits. Every project is delivered through this two-party structure.

  • No, I'm not an electrician — landscape lighting installation is regulated as electrical work in Connecticut, and all installations are performed by our licensed Connecticut electrical contractor. Upscape handles the design, project management, customer experience, and ongoing service. The licensed install is a feature of how we work, not an exception.

  • Most Upscape projects range from $2,500–$12,000, depending on the size of the property, number of fixtures, and design complexity.
    We provide a clear, itemized estimate following your free design walkthrough, no surprises.

  • Very little. All fixtures we install use high-efficiency LED technology, typically consuming 1–7 watts per fixture. A full property lighting setup often uses less electricity than a single indoor lamp. A typical setup of 10 outdoor lights will consume ~7.2 kWh per month and cost $1-2/month to run.

  • You’ll have multiple options:

    • A simple dusk-to-dawn timer

    • Smart automation (schedules, sunrise/sunset, scenes)

    • Phone control through a smart plug

    We’ll set everything up for you and show you exactly how to use it.

  • Not much. LED fixtures should last 10+ years, and transformers are extremely reliable.
    Occasionally, you may want:

    • Seasonal re-aiming

    • Replacing a fixture that gets damaged

    • Adjusting the design as landscaping grows

    Upscape offers on-demand service as well as ongoing maintenance and tune up programs

  • Not at all. We design lighting to highlight your home, not shine into windows or across property lines. Our fixtures use precise beam angles and shields to ensure beautiful, subtle illumination without glare.

  • Absolutely. Most of our clients start with the front facade or pathways and expand over time.
    Your transformer and wiring will be designed with future additions in mind.

  • Yes—if you want it!
    It’s a fun Upscape tradition for clients who enjoy celebrating their home’s transformation. (Sparkling cider available too.)
