Landscape Lighting Cost: What Fixtures Really Run in 2026

Real per-fixture prices, what drives them, and a free tool to quote your own job.

Landscape lighting is usually priced per fixture, and installed cost varies a lot by fixture type and how much wiring/trenching each one needs.

ScopeTypical cost
Per fixture, installed$100 – $391
Whole-property job (10–15 fixtures)$2,000 – $4,500

What moves the price

Fixture quality and style, transformer and wiring runs, trenching distance from the power source, and whether it's a simple path-lighting job or a full uplighting design on trees and architecture. More fixtures on one circuit run is more efficient per-fixture than scattered singles.

Worked example

12 fixtures at $220/fixture installed = $2,640, plus roughly $500 for the transformer and main wiring run = $3,140 before markup and tax — labor, fixtures, and wiring as their own line items.
