20 years in Bakersfield

How Landscape Light Guys Started

Two decades of lighting experience, grown from a family tradition into a Bakersfield lighting company.

The story

A holiday tradition turned into a year-round way to improve properties.

Brendan Collins has spent 20 years doing lighting work in Bakersfield. In 2008, he turned the holiday-lighting tradition he grew up with into a local company. The work was simple at first: helping homes feel brighter and more memorable during the season.

Homeowners kept asking what could be improved the rest of the year. That question is where the landscape lighting work came from — paths, trees, garden beds, architecture, patios, and pool areas that were dark every night, not just in December.

The standard

The install should look intentional before anyone notices the hardware.

Designed around the property

We plan fixture placement, beam angle, brightness, and how each area of the yard reads at night.

Clean wiring and finish work

Buried runs, properly mounted transformers, level fixtures, and connections that can be serviced later.

Built for real conditions

Bakersfield heat, dust, hard water, irrigation, and growing planting all get accounted for.

What we do now

One crew for the design, the wiring, the install, and the night-time aiming.

A finished property is rarely one thing. The entry has to read from the street, the trees have to give depth behind it, the architecture has to hold the middle, and the backyard has to be comfortable to sit in.

Local proof

Homeowners call us when they want the property to feel complete, not just brighter.

From curb appeal and walkways to trees, garden beds, patios, and pool areas, the work is built around how the property should feel when people are actually outside using it.

Twenty years of local lighting work means the advice is grounded in Bakersfield properties, weather, soil, irrigation, mature planting, and the way outdoor spaces are used after sunset.
