Underwater LED Pool Lighting: Color-changing or classic white LED pool lighting installed in the pool wall or floor, giving your water a soft glow that’s visible from every angle of the yard.
Deck & Coping Lights: Recessed, flush-mount fixtures set into the deck or coping edge. They light the perimeter of the pool without glare, so swimmers and guests can see the edge clearly after dark.
Step & Path Lighting: Low, subtle fixtures along stairs and walkways leading to and from the pool.
Accent & Landscape Uplighting: We extend your pool landscape lighting design beyond the water, uplighting trees, retaining walls, and water features.

Smart, App-Controlled Systems: Set schedules, change colors, or dim your lighting from your phone or a voice assistant, no manual switches required.

Why Omaha Homeowners Trust Midwest Lightscaping for Pool Lighting
Designed around your pool
We tell you what your pool and backyard actually need, even when that means fewer fixtures than you expected, not the biggest package we can sell you.
Careful with what's already there
Our crews work around your existing deck, coping, and landscaping so nothing gets cracked, disturbed, or damaged running wiring near the water.
Responsive before and after
From your first inquiry to a bulb replacement years later, we respond quickly and follow through, even after the pool's closed for the season.
Owner-operated, start to finish
Josh Reeves personally walks every pool before a design is finalized, and stays involved through installation, not just the sales call.
Trusted in Omaha since 2011
A 5.0 rating on Google and over a decade lighting pools and backyards across Omaha and the surrounding area.
Improves safety, not just looks
Property owners use our pool lighting to see the water's edge, steps, and deck clearly after dark, cutting down on nighttime slips and falls, not just adding ambiance.
How Pool Lighting Installation Works With Us
We come out to your property for a free visit, usually in the evening, to walk your pool area, hear what you're picturing, and map out where the lighting should go. There's nothing you need to prepare ahead of time.
You'll get a custom lighting plan with fixture placement and a few options at different budget levels, so you decide what fits.
Our own crew, not a subcontractor, runs the wiring, sets the transformer, and installs every fixture while keeping disruption to your pool, deck, and landscaping to a minimum. We handle any required permitting as part of the process.
Once everything's installed, we turn it on with you there, test every zone, and make adjustments on the spot.
Your system is backed by our warranty, with optional seasonal maintenance to help it keep working the way it did on day one.
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

We install lighting solutions for both. Above-ground pools use different fixture types than in-ground pools, and we’ll recommend what fits your setup during your consultation.

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.

We’re responsive before and after the sale. If something needs attention, whether it’s a bulb replacement years down the road, we follow through and get it resolved.
Both. Lighting is easiest to add during new construction or a renovation, but we regularly retrofit lighting onto existing pools with minimal disruption.
We check compatibility with your existing equipment as part of the design process, before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
Our systems are installed to withstand freeze-thaw cycles and don’t need to be removed each year. Optional seasonal startup and shutdown service is available if you want extra peace of mind.
