Permanent Outdoor Lighting in Leander

Start with the parts of your Leander home you want lit, such as the garage, entry and upper peaks. The track is color-matched aluminum, and you control the lights from the app.

Start with an online estimate. We confirm measurements and scope for your final proposal.

Coverage and cost

Choose the roofline you want to light

A front roofline and a full-perimeter installation are different projects, so decide which sections you want lit before you compare quotes.

Front Accent

Front roofline only

$3,000-$4,000

The Sweet Spot

Front and side rooflines

$4,500-$6,500

The Full Treatment

Full perimeter coverage

$7,000-$10,000+

These ranges are for typical homes. Every home is different.

Measured footage, roof height, mounting surfaces, and equipment access affect the final scope. We also confirm track finish, power, controller placement, and the wire route before installation.

Devine Lake and Horizon Lake

Devine Lake Park is a 45.5-acre regional park at 1807 Waterfall Avenue, and vehicles enter from Waterfall Avenue in the North Creek subdivision. The lake allows fishing, non-motorized boating and wildlife observation, and the park has trails, a group pavilion and a playscape. Horizon Lake Park, at 444 Horizon Park Blvd., covers 65.7 acres with a stocked fishing lake, a fishing pier, a canoe and kayak launching area and paved walking trails. The city held its grand opening on May 18, 2024.

Where a home backs onto open parkland, zones let the rear keep its own settings apart from the street side, so each side can have a different look.

From Bagdad to Old Town

Leander was established in 1882 after the Austin and Northwestern Railroad bypassed Bagdad, a mile to the west, and its citizens incorporated the town in 1978. Many Bagdad businesses and residents moved to be near the new train station. The Mason Homestead at 1101 S. Bagdad is an 1860s-era restored farmhouse that Christine Mason gave to the city in 2005; before city ownership it was designated a Texas Century Farm. Every first Saturday of December, the city and the Leander Chamber of Commerce host the Old Town Christmas Festival at 100 N. Brushy St., which includes the lighting of Leander's 60-foot Christmas tree.

The festival tree is the city's. For your own roofline, you can save a color scene for the holidays and switch back to warm white for everyday evenings in the app.

City permits and the zoning ordinance

Inside Leander city limits, the city says a permit is required before starting any construction, and its examples include remodels with electrical work. Properties outside the city limits but in the Leander ETJ currently need permits only for signs and water/wastewater connections. The city says the list is not comprehensive and asks you to confirm with a city building inspector which permits are needed before work begins; Development Services is at 512-528-2733. For property in the city, the zoning ordinance also says residential outdoor lighting on residential property will be "located so as not to create a nuisance for adjoining property owners." Ask the city which permits apply to your project and who should pull them; anything the city asks you to submit is yours to make.

Homes covered by the Crystal Falls dark-sky amendment

If your home is in one of the subdivisions listed in the Crystal Falls Home Owner's Association's 2026 dark-sky amendment, read the amendment first, before planning. It governs all exterior lighting, including soffit, eave, fascia and under-roofline lighting, and its Section 5 says "Prior written ACC approval is required for installation, addition, relocation, or replacement of any soffit or eave fixture" and for certain other lighting changes. Any request to the association is yours to submit.
