Beyond the waterline

The pool is only one part of the nightscape.

HLL designs the environment around a pool: the approach from the house, steps and grade changes, deck edges, seating, dining, planting, and the views looking back toward the home. The goal is comfortable visibility and atmosphere—not raw brightness.

Our landscape lighting design process considers those elements as one composition. HLL focuses on the surrounding landscape and hardscape lighting; underwater pool fixtures are coordinated with the pool professional when part of the project.

Questions before you begin

Pool lighting FAQs

Can HLL add lighting around an existing pool?

Yes. HLL can assess the surrounding environment, access, existing lighting, and the areas that need improvement before recommending a focused upgrade or broader plan.

Will pool-area lighting create glare on the water?

Water and glass make sightlines especially important. Fixture placement, shielding, output, and after-dark aiming help reduce distracting reflections.

Can pool-area lighting coordinate with home controls?

When appropriate, compatible exterior lighting can coordinate with Lutron, Control4, or Savant through Home Technology Experts.

How is the lighting maintained after installation?

Seasonal care helps keep fixtures clean, connected, and properly aimed as planting and weather affect the property.
