The installers were total professionals and the buried wires are absolutely invisible. Designer Jay nailed it — we're eager to do the backyard next.
RGB Color Lighting
Permanent. App-controlled. Every color.
A discreet permanent RGB track installed along your roofline, soffits, or columns. Change colors and scenes from your phone — for every holiday, every sports season, and every other day of the year.
Overview
One install. Every color, every season.
Permanent RGB roofline lighting replaces the seasonal cycle of putting holiday lights up and taking them down. The track is installed once — neat, low-profile, and largely invisible during the day. From there, the app handles the rest.
Key Benefits
Built for the long haul.
Holiday-ready year-round
No more climbing ladders. Every holiday, sports event, and party has its own scene already.
App-controlled
Change colors, scenes, schedules, and zones from your phone — instantly.
Discreet by day
A thin, low-profile track that virtually disappears from the ground in daylight.
Millions of colors
Individually addressable LEDs deliver smooth gradients, animations, and warm-white defaults.

Hired Landscape Illumination for the front yard, then again for the backyard after we built a new deck. The team is very responsive and fast. Highly recommend.

Impressed by every facet. Alex responded fast with online design and color options. Installer Walt and his crew were courteous and detail-focused — one of the best-managed companies I've dealt with.

Lighting across the covered porch, pergola, pool area, stone walls, and tree-line. Every light placed with purpose. The property is unrecognizable after dark.
