Outdoor Pool Area Lighting Installation in Omaha, NE
Built for Property Owners Who Refuse to Compromise
Your pool deserves more than fixtures scattered around the edges. We design lighting for the deck, steps, and landscaping around your pool, built around your architecture, sightlines, and how the space will actually be used, so it looks intentional, performs reliably, and stays beautiful for years.
What's Included in Your Pool Area Lighting Design
Every pool area lighting plan starts with your property, its architecture, its landscaping, and how the space actually gets used after dark. From there we build a system intended to look intentional, perform reliably, and remain beautiful for years, not a set of parts installed on a schedule. Here is what that process includes.
We walk your property in person to see the architecture, landscaping, and sightlines firsthand. No lighting plan gets built from a photo or a phone call.
Every plan is drawn specifically for your property. We map fixture placement, intensity, and beam spread against your deck, steps, and plantings before a single fixture goes in the ground.
We choose fixtures for how they perform in your specific space, not off a standard package. Color temperature and beam spread are matched to each area so the result looks designed, not scattered.
We tie the lighting plan into the surrounding landscape so the whole space reads as one cohesive design after dark.
All wiring and transformers are installed by a licensed, insured team, sized correctly for your system and run to hold up through every Midwest season.
Adjust brightness, zones, and schedules from your phone. Your lighting plan should be as easy to live with as it is to look at.
We walk the finished space with you after dark, explain the controls, and confirm every detail matches the plan before we call the job done.
Fixtures, wiring, and transformers are maintained over time so the system keeps looking and performing the way it did on day one.

Omaha’s premier outdoor lighting company, acclaimed for its award-winning designs, has been illuminating homes and businesses for 15 years, establishing itself as a leader in the industry.
Every Property Is Different
No two pool areas deserve the same lighting plan. A resort-style backyard with mature landscaping and several gathering zones calls for a different approach than a modern pool with clean architectural lines and one defined sightline. A commercial or hospitality property carries different safety, code, and maintenance demands than a private residence. What works for one project can be the wrong choice for the next, even when two pools look similar on paper.
We design every plan around the specific property, its architecture, its landscaping, how it will be used, and who will be using it after dark. We do not build to a one-size-fits-all template, because no two properties are the same job.

Midwest Lightscaping: #1 Company for Pool Area Lighting
Design led by the property, not the package
We specify what your pool area actually needs, even when that means fewer fixtures than expected. We are not selling the largest package we can move.
Careful with what's already there
Our crews work around existing decks, coping, and landscaping so nothing is cracked, disturbed, or damaged, including wiring run near the water.
Responsive before and after
From first inquiry to a bulb replacement years later, we respond and follow through, even after the pool is closed for the season.
40 years combined experience
Our team brings 40 years of combined lighting and landscaping experience to every project, so each design is backed by expertise, not guesswork.

Improves safety, not just looks

How Much Does Pool Lighting Cost?
Every pool lighting project is different, so we don’t publish a one-size-fits-all price, but here’s what typically affects your total investment:
- Size of your pool and number of lighting zones
- Number and type of fixtures (underwater, deck, accent, etc.)
- Whether you’re adding smart controls
- Distance of wiring runs from your power source
- Whether lighting is installed during new pool construction or added afterward

Yes, if you choose that option. We can set up app-based or voice-assistant control as part of your installation.
Most pool-only lighting installations are completed in a single day. Projects that include deck, step, and landscape lighting typically take 2 to 3 days, depending on the size of the property and design.
Our crews work carefully around existing trees, plantings, and hardscaping so nothing gets damaged while we run wiring and set fixtures.
A standard installation places fixtures where a pool typically needs them. A designed plan starts from the property itself, its architecture, sightlines, materials, and use, and works backward to fixture placement, intensity, and beam spread. The difference shows up in how the space feels, not just how bright it is.
Yes, and it is often better that way. Coordinating lighting early means wiring, transformer placement, and fixture locations can be planned into the build instead of retrofitted around finished work.
The wrong color temperature or beam spread can undercut a well-placed fixture just as easily as poor placement can. All three are decided together, since each one only works in relation to the other two.
