Enhance the safety, usability, and night-time beauty of your Vineyard home. We design and install durable, low-voltage outdoor lighting systems tailored to your property.
Landscape lighting installation on Martha's Vineyard places brass and copper fixtures along paths, steps, patios, planting beds, and architectural features. Infinity Landscaping designs the lighting plan, runs low-voltage cable to a properly sized transformer, sets fixtures with field-adjustable aim, and coordinates power feeds with licensed electricians. Most residential installs complete in two to five days once design is finalised.
Landscape Lighting
What this page covers
Custom lighting design
Every home has different architectural details, pathways, and garden focal points. We design custom layouts that highlight your property's best features, using precise beam spreads and fixture placements to guide movement and create inviting outdoor rooms.
Salt-air fixture specifications
Vineyard air is highly corrosive due to moisture and salt. We source and install heavy-gauge, marine-grade solid brass and copper fixtures that resist weathering, ensuring your lights perform reliably and develop a natural patina over time.
Low-voltage wiring & trenching
A lighting system is only as reliable as its wiring. We bury commercial-grade, direct-burial low-voltage cable below the root zone, securing all connections with grease-filled, waterproof wire nuts to prevent moisture intrusion and voltage drop.
Tree-mounted downlighting
To create a natural moonlight effect, we install shielded downlights high in mature tree canopies (such as oaks or pines). This technique provides soft illumination across lawns, paths, and patios without exposing glare or the fixture itself.
Landscape Lighting
Designing for Vineyard properties
Unlike standard residential neighborhoods on the mainland, Martha's Vineyard properties often sit on large lots with mature trees, historic stonework, and very little ambient street lighting. This requires a balanced approach that prioritizes subtle, layered lighting over harsh, flood-style illumination.
We coordinate our lighting installations directly with your hardscaping and planting plans. For example, routing low-voltage wiring behind retaining walls, under stone walkways, and into garden beds during the initial design phase eliminates the need for future disruption to finished landscapes.
Process
Lighting techniques we use
01
Path and steps
Down-directed, shielded path lights spaced to create overlapping pools of light on walkways, steps, and elevation changes.
02
Accent & grazing
Uplighting and side-lighting techniques that emphasize the raw texture of fieldstone chimneys, shingle siding, and specimen tree bark.
03
Silhouetting
Placing fixtures behind architectural plantings or garden features to outline their unique shape against a softly illuminated wall.
04
Stonework integration
Embedding compact, low-profile ledge lights under steps and wall caps to illuminate patios and outdoor kitchens directly.

Frequently asked questions
Most installations take between two to five days on-site, depending on fixture count and trenching complexity. We use clean, minimal-impact trenching techniques to lay cable under turf and plantings, leaving your landscape neat and intact at the end of each day.
Yes. Landscape lighting runs on safe, low-voltage (12V-15V) current, but the system transformer must plug into a standard 120V outdoor outlet. We coordinate directly with local licensed electricians to install weatherproof GFCI outlets at transformer locations if they do not already exist.
We install professional-grade brass and copper fixtures from premium manufacturers known for exceptional optical control, warm LED color temperatures, and durability in coastal climates.
Yes. Waterfront properties require extra care due to heavy salt spray, high winds, and coastal bird patterns. We specify fully sealed, solid brass fixtures with high IP (Ingress Protection) ratings and warm LED bulbs (2200K) that do not disturb local shorebirds or marine life.
