As homeowners we can appreciate the appeal and value of a professionally installed landscape, yet are you aware that although different from what is visible during the day, the evening beauty of your landscape can be equally as compelling? Outdoor landscape lighting can bring this hidden beauty to life. Barring the sconce on the porch, flood light above the garage and the obligatory pole light, the function and aesthetic value of landscape lighting systems remains undiscovered by the majority of today's homeowners.
A properly designed 12-volt lighting system can address security as well as safety and traverse concerns effectively without being abrasive or disruptive. Through selective use of light, attention can be directed towards unique features in your landscape. Perhaps the most exciting feature of your lighting system is that it can be easily expanded. Let us start by uplighting a specimen tree, downlighting a patio or garden area, or perhaps soft pathlighting to your front door. Once you see the nighttime beauty we can create, we truly feel it becomes a question of when, not if you expand your system.
Our Mission Statement
By infusing our passion for lighting with the best products and practices, Commonwealth Landscape Lighting will fulfill your vision of light for your property. We will surpass all current expectations and create an atmosphere of excitement for future lighting design.
About Commonwealth Landscape Lighting
We are a registered contractor for Nightscaping™, the originator and the country's leading source for landscape lighting fixtures and transformers. We have over 30 years of experience in the landscaping industry. We are both a Massachusetts Certified Landscape Professional and a Massachusetts Certified Arborist. Our understanding of plant material and landscape construction, allow us to identify the aesthetic needs as well as safety and traverse concerns of a property. In short, we understand the unique challenges that are faced when adding light to the landscape.
Your landscape is continually evolving, so too must your lighting system. For every system we install and for those which we inherit, we offer a comprehensive maintenance program. Your yearly visit will include the replacement of all lamps due at that time for change out, cleaning of all reflective surfaces and lenses, adjustment and or re aiming of the fixture, minor pruning of vegetation for better illumination and timer and photo cell adjustment. During the service, we will make recommendations based on the changes to the property. Perhaps the ornamental tree with two up lights has grown sufficiently to require three? Or the addition of a patio, wall or fire pit requires path lighting or additional down lighting? We want your system to continue to be as beautiful, functional and efficient as it was when installed.

Commonwealth Landscape Lighting is chosen to work with the Crane Estate in Ipswich, MA
Beginning in 2008, Commonwealth Landscape Lighting was chosen to assist The Trustees of Reservations in their ongoing restoration of the famous Crane Estate, located in Ipswich, MA.
The lighting projects include both path lighting and moon lighting of the granite steps leading to the Italianate Garden, step lighting of the staircases accessing the Bowling Green and statuary and staircase lighting of the Grand Allee for the wedding and concert season.
We are excited to be involved in the process of revitalizing such a beautiful and historic property, and look forward to our continued relationship with both the Crane Estate and the Trustees of Reservations.
Bowling Green
Integrated into the newly poured walls will be brass fixtures to illuminate the steps. Work will be completed in late Spring 2009.
Grand Allee
Pending benefactor support in 2009, the Grand Allee reconstruction will feature both down lighting and staircase lighting for concert safety. Statuary and facade lighting will add dramatic interest.
Commonwealth Landscape Lighting recently partnered with Nightscaping™ to create a new path lighting fixture.
Working closely with our client and the design team at Nightscaping™, we developed a fixture that would provide general illumination of large scale plantings and walkways. The design incorporated elements of two existing fixtures the Savoy wall mount and the Libertyliter path light. We are proud to announce the resulting fixture has been named the Savoy Commonwealth. This is in keeping with a long standing Nightscaping™ tradition of honoring the designing contractor.

Commonwealth Landscape Lighting has installed low voltage lighting at the Old Manse in Concord, MA.
This historic site bore witness to the start of the American Revolution and was home to both Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Having secured permission from the Concord Historical Commission, down lighting from trees along the entry path will provide subtle yet effective traverse lighting. This will solve two of the key issues presented to us at our initial meeting with the Trustees of Reservations; event lighting and staff safety. Guests will now be able to wander the grounds freely without being blinded by temporary tripod lighting or tripping over extension cords. Both the Old Manse and event staff will now have safe passage to their vehicles at the end of the day without the abrasiveness of commercial parking lot lighting.
