Landscape Lighting in Verona & Madison, WI

Lighting planned around how you use the yard after dark, and installed by the same company that designed it.

In December the sun sets before 4:30 in Madison, so for a good part of the year most people only see their yard by porch light. We design landscape lighting around how the space actually gets used: getting from the driveway to the door safely, sitting on the patio after work, seeing the yard from inside the house. Then we install it ourselves, so what gets built matches the plan.

Why Dane County Homeowners Hire Madison Green Team

  • In business since 2010. Founded by Matt Geier, still run by the same owner.
  • 4.8 stars across 44 Google reviews.
  • Licensed and insured. Ask us for proof. Ask everyone you’re considering.
  • Open Saturdays, 7 AM to 6 PM. Most contractors around here aren’t. If weekends are the only time you can walk the property with someone, that’s when we’ll come.

Designed and installed by the same company, so nobody hands your plan to a crew that never saw it. And when lighting is planned alongside a patio, wall, or steps we’re building, the wiring can go in before the surface does, instead of being trenched through it afterward.

Path & Walkway Lighting

Low light along walkways, steps, and the edge of the driveway, placed so you see the ground, not the bulb.


Patio & Hardscape Lighting

Light built into seat walls, steps, and patio edges, so the space still works after sunset.


Tree Uplighting & Accent Lighting

Trees, stone walls, and the front of the house lit from below, so the yard has shape at night.


Pergola & Deck Lighting

Soft light along beams, posts and deck stairs, wired into the structure.


Landscape Lighting Repair & LED Upgrades

Dark runs traced and fixed, and old bulbs swapped for LED.


Christmas & Holiday Lighting

Christmas lights put up, tested and taken down after the season.

Why Landscape Lighting Often
Disappoints

Lighting bought one fixture at a time, or added after everything else is finished, usually ends up with problems like

  • Glare: bulbs pointed at eyes and windows instead of at the path, the wall, or the tree
  • A straight row of path lights that looks like a runway and still leaves the steps dark
  • Fixtures in winter’s way: knocked over by the shovel, buried under the plow pile, or pushed up by frost
  • Wiring trenched through a finished patio or lawn because nobody planned it before the surface went in

Good lighting starts with where you need to see and what you want to see, and only then picks fixtures. Planned that way, with winter and the rest of the yard in mind, it usually takes fewer lights, placed where they still work in February.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. We provide free, no-obligation estimates for all landscaping and hardscaping projects. We'll visit your property, discuss your vision, and provide a detailed quote within 5-10 business days.

What's the difference between landscaping and hardscaping?

Landscaping covers the living elements of your outdoor space — lawns, plants, trees, mulch, and irrigation. Hardscaping refers to the non-living, structural elements like patios, retaining walls, walkways, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens. We handle both, so we can design a space that blends greenery with durable structure.

How long does a typical project take?

Timelines vary by project size and scope. A basic garden bed refresh might take a day, while a full patio or retaining wall installation can take days/weeks. We'll give you a specific timeline estimate before work begins.

Do I need a permit for hardscaping work?

Some projects — like retaining walls over a certain height, fire features, or structures near property lines — may require a permit depending on local regulations. We handle the permitting process for projects that need it, so you don't have to navigate it yourself.

What's included in the price of my quote?

Our quotes typically include materials, labor, equipment, and cleanup. Any additional costs (like permit fees or unexpected site conditions such as poor soil or drainage issues) will be discussed with you before we proceed.

Do you offer maintenance after the project is complete?

Yes. We offer ongoing maintenance plans for lawns, plant beds, and hardscape upkeep (like re-sanding pavers or sealing stone) to keep your investment looking great year-round.

What forms of payment do you accept, and do you require a deposit?

We accept cash, check, credit card. Most projects require a deposit to secure your spot on our schedule, with the remaining balance due upon completion.

What time of year is best to start a landscaping or hardscaping project?

While hardscaping (patios, walls, walkways) can often be done nearly year-round depending on weather, spring and fall are ideal for planting and lawn work. We recommend booking early, since our schedule fills up fast during peak seasons.
