Landscape Lighting NJ
Let’s be honest — most exterior lighting is just… there.
It lights a path. Maybe it highlights a tree. But it doesn’t feel like anything.
HiDEF has been changing that since 2005. We believe your home’s landscape lighting should do more than help people see where they’re going — it should make them feel like they’ve arrived. That’s the difference between simply placing lights and designing with light.
At HiDEF, we’re lighting designers first, installers second. We work with premium brands like Coastal Source, FX Luminaire, Kichler, AMP, and Radiance — the all‑in‑one audio and lighting system. But the real magic? It’s how every element works together to transform your space.
This isn’t about fixtures.
It’s about moments — family barbecues that don’t end when the sun goes down, pathways that feel like invitations, and homes that look alive even from the curb.
Whether you’re in Colts Neck, Holmdel, Spring Lake, or anywhere across New Jersey — we bring light to the things that matter.
What Is Landscape Lighting?
(And How It’s Different From outdoor lighting)
These systems integrate fixtures directly into the environment — along paths, under trees, within steps, and among gardens or walls. It’s subtle by nature, intentional by design.
What Great Landscape Lighting Actually Does
Lighting isn’t just about seeing. It’s about feeling.
When designed with intention, it shapes how your home is experienced — from the curb to the backyard, from golden hour to after dark.
🌳
Highlight What Matters
Uplights and accents bring out the natural beauty of your trees, textures, and outdoor architecture.
🏡
Make Guests Feel Welcome
From the driveway to the door, lighting creates a warm, safe, and unmistakable sense of arrival.
🌙
Extend the Night Extend Summer
Enjoy dinners, parties, and quiet moments outdoors — even long after the sun sets.
🔒
Add Ambiance + Security
A well-lit yard deters intruders and adds value — without feeling like a floodlight prison.

LANDSCAPE LIGHTING OPTIONS
Great landscape lighting isn’t one-size-fits-all. At HiDEF, we use a layered lighting approach to create depth, dimension, and drama — customized to your home, your style, and the way you live.
Uplighting: Highlight What Makes Your Home Special
A well-placed uplight does more than brighten a wall. It draws attention to the beauty you already have — trees, textures, stone, and symmetry.
Why homeowners love it:
-
Creates architectural drama after dark
-
Highlights trees, columns, or stone facades
-
Adds depth and contrast across your property
-
Makes your home feel intentionally designed


Moonlighting:
Bring the Night to Life
This technique uses subtle fixtures placed high in trees — casting shadows and shimmer like real moonlight. It’s calm, natural, and cinematic.
Why homeowners love it:
-
Creates a soft, natural glow across your yard
-
Ideal for patios, seating areas, and garden beds
-
Adds romance and tranquility without glare
-
Enhances the “wow” factor without being harsh
Path Lighting:
Welcome Every Step
The goal isn’t just to see where you’re going. It’s to feel welcomed every time you walk the path. These aren’t runway lights — they’re invitations.
Why homeowners love it:
-
Increases safety and visibility
-
Turns walkways into experiences
-
Blends into your landscape by day, glows by night
-
Helps guests feel confident and cared for


Wall & Step Lights:
Clean. Subtle. Elevated.
Integrated directly into hardscape features, these fixtures provide soft guidance — perfect for retaining walls, stairs, or garden seating.

-
No glare, no exposed bulbs — just glow
-
Great for modern and classic designs alike
-
Enhances outdoor usability at night
Our Process: More Than a Checklist — It’s a Conversation
Most companies treat landscape lighting like a checklist—bulbs, wire, trench, done. At HiDEF, it’s different. We begin with a conversation, not a catalog. We walk your property, learn how you use your space, and design lighting that feels intentional, effortless, and deeply personal. It’s not just about where the lights go. It’s about how it all comes together—and how it makes you feel every time you pull into the driveway.
👂
Step 1: Our Team Listens First
Every project starts with your story. What do you love about your property, What moments do you want to create? We begin by walking the space and listening to what matters.
📐
Step 2: We Design with Purpose
Then we sketch, mock up, and plan. We blend function with feeling — making sure every path, tree, and texture is lit in a way that feels natural and intentional.
🛠️
Step 3: We Install with Precision
Clean work. No disruption. Zero shortcuts. Our crew respects your property like it’s our own. Every fixture is aligned, buried, and finished with care.
🎯
Step 4: We Dial It In to your expectations
You walk outside. We tweak until it’s perfect. This isn’t “install and vanish.” We stay until you’re smiling — and everything feels just right.
