Discover the Distinct Appeal of Landscape Lighting

Landscape lighting is more than just an aesthetic upgrade. It’s a strategic way to enhance your property’s safety, usability, and curb appeal. At TCI Companies, we specialize in designing and installing professional outdoor lighting systems that bring out the best in your home or business. Whether you want to showcase gardens, highlight architectural features, or extend the enjoyment of your outdoor space into the evening, our landscape lighting services make it possible.

Outdoor lighting doesn’t just help you see at night. It changes the entire character of your property. A well-lit walkway feels welcoming instead of intimidating. A softly lit patio invites conversation long after sunset. Even simple uplighting on a tree or architectural column creates drama and elegance that elevates your entire landscape design.

Serving Central Illinois communities like Peoria, Bloomington, Galesburg, Champaign, Decatur, and Springfield, TCI combines decades of expertise with high-quality fixtures to deliver outdoor spaces that shine, day and night.

Our Approach to Landscape Lighting

At TCI Companies, we believe the best results come from a clear and proven process. Our team blends creativity with technical know-how to ensure your lighting system not only looks great but also performs reliably for years to come

Here’s how we do it:

  1. Consultation and Design We begin by understanding your goals, whether it’s highlighting a pathway, securing dark areas, or creating dramatic garden accents. Our designers walk your property, take note of focal points, and develop a plan that complements your landscape and architecture.
  2. Lighting Selection With countless styles, finishes, and beam spreads available, we guide you through selecting the perfect fixtures. From subtle garden lights to bold architectural accents, every choice is made to enhance your space’s character.
  3. Professional Installation Our skilled technicians ensure safe wiring, proper placement, and lasting durability. Every fixture is installed with precision, with careful attention to both function and aesthetics. We also make sure wiring is discreetly concealed to maintain a clean look.
  4. Testing and Adjustments Once the system is in place, we test every fixture for brightness, coverage, and angle. This step ensures lighting highlights the right features while avoiding unwanted glare.
  5. Ongoing Support Outdoor spaces change over time, and so can your lighting needs. From seasonal adjustments to fixture upgrades, our team is here to maintain and optimize your system for years to come.

By taking a consultative and detail-oriented approach, we make the entire experience stress-free while ensuring the final product exceeds expectations

The Benefits of Landscape Lighting for Your Home or Business

Investing in a professionally designed and installed system goes far beyond appearance. Landscape lighting offers long-lasting advantages that improve everyday life and add measurable value to your property.

  • Extended Usability – Keep patios, gardens, and pathways functional after dark. Whether you’re entertaining guests or simply enjoying a quiet evening outside, good lighting extends the day into night.
  • Improved Safety and Security – Reduce tripping hazards along walkways, stairs, and driveways while also deterring intruders. A well-lit property signals that it’s cared for and protected.
  • Enhanced Beauty – Professional lighting showcases the best parts of your property. From highlighting a beautiful tree canopy to drawing attention to a building’s architecture, lighting adds depth and artistry.
  • Boosted Property Value – Outdoor lighting increases curb appeal and creates a premium impression. For homeowners, it can enhance resale value. For businesses, it communicates professionalism and pride of place.
  • Custom Style Options – With a wide selection of fixtures, finishes, and technologies — such as energy-efficient LED systems — your lighting can match your personal or brand aesthetic while staying efficient and low-maintenance.
