Landscape Lighting Installation in Orange County, CA

Nothing transforms a home’s exterior like professionally designed landscape lighting. The right lighting doesn’t just make your yard visible—it makes it memorable. From softly lit walkways and dramatic tree uplighting to architectural accents that highlight your home’s best features, landscape lighting adds beauty, security, and curb appeal after the sun goes down.

Installing it, though? That’s where things get… technical.

Wiring trenches, voltage calculations, transformers, weatherproof connections, zoning, timers, and local electrical codes—this is not a “grab some lights and wing it” situation. Done wrong, landscape lighting can flicker, fail early, or turn into a maintenance nightmare.

At O’Hagan Electric, we provide professional landscape lighting installation throughout Orange County, delivering clean design, safe electrical work, and lighting systems that look incredible and last for years. From Irvine and Newport Beach to Costa Mesa, Anaheim, and beyond, we help homeowners light their outdoor spaces the right way—beautifully, efficiently, and stress-free.

Why Choose Professional Landscape Lighting Installation?

Landscape lighting is about more than placing lights—it’s about proper electrical design. Professional installation ensures:

  • Correct voltage and load balancing

  • Weatherproof, underground-rated wiring

  • Code-compliant transformers and connections

  • Strategic light placement (no glare, no dark spots)

  • Long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance

DIY systems often fail early, look uneven, or create safety issues. One bad splice underground and suddenly half your yard goes dark—right before guests arrive.

That’s why Orange County homeowners trust O’Hagan Electric for landscape lighting that works flawlessly and looks intentional.
