Why South Raleigh Homeowners Choose Lawn Panther for Outdoor Lighting

South Raleigh homeowners choose Lawn Panther because one local, licensed team looks after the whole property — lawn, landscape, and the lighting that carries it into the evening — so there’s no juggling separate contractors. We’re veteran- and family-owned, we do the work ourselves, and we treat your home like our own. The lighting is low-voltage and designed around your property, cleanly installed and placed to highlight what matters without glare. You get one accountable company that already knows your yard. Want the specifics? See landscape lighting costs and types. Every plan is drawn and installed by a Hunter University certified Lighting Designer and Lighting Specialist, so beam spread, fixture placement, transformer load, and wire runs are decided as one system before anything goes in the ground.

  • Low-voltage landscape lighting designed around your property
  • Uplighting for mature trees, shrubs, and planting beds
  • Walkway and step lighting for safe, easy entry after dark
  • Facade and entry accents that lift curb appeal from the street
  • Clean installs with buried runs and a final walkthrough


Landscape Lighting

What’s Included: Pathway, Walkway and Tree Uplighting

Every Lawn Panther lighting project is designed around your property and installed start to finish — layout, professional fixtures, transformer, buried low-voltage wire, and a final walkthrough. We build with professional-grade Pro-Trade brass as standard, with FX Luminaire smart and color systems available when you want app control and color.

Brass & Bulbs

Built to Last — Warranty and Replaceable Bulbs

Add visibility, curb appeal, and nighttime character with professionally installed landscape lighting. Every Lawn Panther system uses professional-grade brass fixtures with replaceable LED lamps (MR16, PAR36, and T3), so when a bulb eventually wears out, you swap a $10–$20 lamp instead of digging up and rebuying the fixture. Brass holds up to NC humidity and only looks better as it ages, and the transformer’s photocell and timer are field-replaceable too.

  • Lifetime warranty on brass fixtures and transformers
  • 10-year warranty on in-ground well lights
  • 5-year warranty on aluminum fixtures and LED lamps
  • Replaceable LED bulbs — swap the lamp, keep the fixture
  • Free bulb replacement for the first year
  • Backed by the Lawn Panther workmanship guarantee on every install

New-customer offer: free tree uplight ($199 value) with any lighting package.
