Landscape Lighting Installation in Surprise & the West Valley
Most homes in Surprise and Goodyear have the same problem after dark: a nice yard that disappears at sunset. Mason Electric designs and installs low-voltage and line-voltage landscape lighting systems that extend your outdoor living hours, improve curb appeal, and add a layer of security — all without skyrocketing your electric bill.

What Is Landscape Lighting?
Landscape lighting is a permanent, wired outdoor lighting system designed to highlight specific features of your yard — pathways, trees, garden beds, architectural elements, pool areas, and driveways. Unlike plug-in solar lights, professionally installed landscape lighting uses reliable 12V low-voltage or line-voltage systems that deliver consistent brightness and last for years with minimal maintenance.
Landscape Lighting Options We Install
Low-Voltage Landscape Lighting (Most Popular)
Low-voltage systems run at 12V, making them safe to install around plants, kids, and pets. They're energy-efficient, flexible, and our most requested outdoor lighting option across Surprise, Goodyear, and Peoria. We wire a dedicated transformer at your electrical panel and run low-voltage cable throughout your yard to place fixtures exactly where you want them.
Line-Voltage Landscape Lighting
Line-voltage (120V) fixtures are used for high-output applications — large trees, long driveway entrances, or commercial-grade floodlighting. Because these run at full household voltage, they must be installed by a licensed electrician. Mason Electric handles all permitting and code compliance for line-voltage outdoor work.
Smart Lighting & Automation
We can integrate your landscape lighting with smart home systems, automatic timers, dusk-to-dawn sensors, and motion activation.
