Pool & Patio Lighting
Balanced illumination around pools, patios, and outdoor living areas. Bernardy Lighting plans fixture placement around the home so the finished system feels intentional—not over-lit.
Every project starts with a conversation about the areas you use, the views that matter after dark, and the look you want. We then build and refine the lighting plan around those priorities.
Why homeowners choose it
- A custom design built around the architecture and landscaping
- Warm, efficient LED fixtures with hidden low-voltage wiring
- Careful final adjustments for balance, comfort, and curb appeal

Your Backyard, Illuminated
Your backyard is an extension of your living space — especially in Texas, where outdoor entertaining is a way of life. Bernardy Lighting LLC specializes in complete backyard lighting systems that make your outdoor spaces as usable and beautiful at night as they are during the day.
Whether you have a simple patio and some garden beds, or a full outdoor setup with a pool, pergola, outdoor kitchen, and fire pit, we design and install lighting that works with your space — not against it. Every system uses 100% LED technology, runs on a low-voltage transformer, and is designed for the DFW climate.
We serve homeowners throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area from our Lewisville, TX base — including Flower Mound, Southlake, Westlake, Frisco, Plano, Grapevine, Colleyville, and all surrounding cities.
What’s Included
Backyard Lighting Services We Offer
From a single pool deck to a full entertainment yard, we handle every component of your outdoor lighting system.
🏖️Patio & Deck Lighting
Recessed deck lights, step lights, and overhead string-light integration that create a warm, inviting atmosphere on your patio or deck without harsh glare. Perfect for dining, entertaining, and relaxing after dark.
🏊Pool Deck Lighting
Above-ground pool-area lighting for decks, patios, surrounding landscapes, and architectural features. Fixture placement is planned to support comfortable visibility while limiting glare on the water.
🌿Pergola & Gazebo Lighting
Uplights to accent pergola posts, downlights integrated into the overhead structure, and perimeter accent lighting that makes your pergola or gazebo the focal point of your backyard at night.
🍳Outdoor Kitchen Lighting
Task lighting under cabinets and over countertops, accent lighting for bar areas, and ambient overhead lighting so your outdoor kitchen is fully functional and atmospheric whether you’re grilling at sunset or midnight.
🔥Fire Pit Area Lighting
Subtle in-ground accent lights and perimeter lighting around fire pit areas that complement the natural warmth of the fire without overpowering it. We light the seating area, walkways, and surrounding landscape to create a cohesive feel.
🌸Backyard Garden & Path Lighting
Uplights for garden focal points, path lights along walkways, and downlights from trees or overhead structures to highlight your backyard garden, flower beds, and water features after dark.
Why It Matters
Benefits of Professional Backyard Lighting
Good backyard lighting does more than look nice — it extends how you use your outdoor space and adds real value to your home.
- More usable outdoor space — Extend your entertaining hours well past sunset. Properly lit patios and pools become year-round amenities rather than daytime-only spaces.
- Improved safety & security — Well-lit pool decks, steps, and pathways prevent accidents at night. Motion-activated and perimeter lighting also deter intruders.
- Increased home value — Quality outdoor lighting consistently adds to home appraisal value and improves buyer appeal in the competitive DFW real estate market.
- Energy-efficient LED technology — LED system energy use and service life depend on the selected products, operating schedule, and site conditions.
- Professional design vs. DIY chaos — Store-bought solar lights fade, shift, and look cluttered. Our professionally installed systems maintain their look and performance season after season in Texas weather.

FAQs
Backyard & Pool Lighting Questions
Can you light a pool deck if we have a vinyl liner or concrete deck?
Yes — we work with all pool deck types including concrete, pavers, and natural stone. We select fixtures and installation methods appropriate for your specific deck surface and ensure all wiring meets electrical code for proximity to water. We do not install in-pool underwater lights (those require a pool contractor), but we handle all deck perimeter and surrounding landscape lighting.
How much does backyard and patio lighting cost?
Project pricing is quoted for the current scope, equipment, access, and site conditions. New installation projects generally begin at $2,000.
Do outdoor lights hold up in Texas summers and storms?
Absolutely. Fixture materials and environmental ratings are selected for each application and identified in the proposal.
Can we control the lighting from our phone?
Yes — we can integrate your system with smart transformer controls that let you control zones, brightness, and schedules from a smartphone app. We also offer timer-based and photocell (automatic dusk-to-dawn) options if smart control isn’t needed.
