Landscape Lighting That Works Year-Round

A well-lit exterior does three things: it makes your home safer, more welcoming, and more beautiful. At Raintree, we design and install low-voltage LED landscape lighting systems built to handle Chicagoland winters — no corroded fixtures, no flickering, no callbacks.

Path & Walkway Lighting

Illuminate driveways, walkways, and garden paths with low-profile path lights:

Cast brass and aluminum fixtures rated for freeze-thaw cycles
Warm white (2700–3000K) for an inviting, natural look
Properly spaced to light the path without hot spots or harsh pooling
Buried wire runs for a clean, invisible installation

Architectural Uplighting

Highlight your home’s facade, trees, and landscaping features:

In-ground uplights for trees, feature plants, and columns
Accent spotlights for architectural details, shutters, and entryways
Directional, adjustable fixtures to focus light exactly where it belongs
Avoids the “prison yard” effect of over-lit properties — we light selectively

Low-Voltage LED Systems

All our installations use 12V low-voltage LED fixtures for:

80–90% lower energy consumption versus halogen
25,000–50,000 hour rated bulb life
Cooler operation, safer for plant material near fixtures
Simple future bulb and fixture replacement without digging

Smart Transformer Upgrades

Replace your old mechanical timer transformer with a smart unit:

VOLT, Kichler, and Hunza smart transformers available
Set precise sunrise/sunset schedules that auto-adjust year-round
Zone control to run different areas at different times
Phone app control and monitoring
Automatic voltage regulation to protect fixture life
