The Ann Arbor take
A 125,000-resident Washtenaw County city where Burns Park and Ives Woods anchor a Craftsman and Colonial Revival estate market adjacent to the university.
Landscape lighting in Ann Arbor takes advantage of mature urban canopy across Burns Park, Ives Woods, Geddes-Highland, and Barton Hills estate properties. Mature hardwood canopy (oak, maple, beech, hickory) defines much of the affluent residential market. Barton Hills 1+ acre estate properties have substantial mature plantings.
Ann Arbor landscape work requires brass with stainless mounting throughout, narrow-beam uplighters for mature canopies, 18-inch wire burial depth for reliable freeze-thaw performance, slope-aware trenching for Geddes-Highland and Barton Hills grades.
A good Ann Arbor estate landscape install: 8–14 brass specimen tree uplights, perennial bed accents, brass throughout. Investment: $8,000–$20,000.

Landscape Lighting in Ann Arbor — common questions.
How much does landscape lighting cost in Ann Arbor, MI?
Most residential landscape lighting projects in Ann Arbor run between $2,900 and $11K. Estate-scale work in Burns Park or Ives Woods runs significantly higher. Ann Arbor sits within the Michigan pricing tier. Material grade (brass vs aluminum), property size, and smart-control integration are the biggest cost drivers.
Do I need a permit for landscape lighting in Ann Arbor, Michigan?
Low-voltage landscape lighting is permit-exempt in most Ann Arbor installs. Any work involving new circuits, panel changes, or high-voltage fixtures needs a permit from the City of Ann Arbor Building Division.
How long does landscape lighting installation take in Ann Arbor?
Standard residential landscape lighting installs in Ann Arbor typically complete in 1–2 days. Whole-property or estate-scale work in Burns Park, Ives Woods, or larger Old West Side properties usually runs 3–7 days. Most installers schedule within 1–2 weeks of quote acceptance.
What should I look for in a Ann Arbor lighting contractor?
Three things matter most for Ann Arbor: current State of Illinois license + general liability insurance ($1M+), itemized written quotes (fixtures, transformer, wire, labor each on its own line. Never lump-sum), and brass fixtures specified by manufacturer and model number. Not just “brass fixture.” Ann Arbor’s freeze-thaw climate (averages 38 inches of snowfall annually) means fixture material is the single highest-impact decision. The right installer specifies it without being asked.
What is the best time of year for landscape lighting in Ann Arbor?
April through October is peak landscape lighting season in Ann Arbor. Plantings are established for fixture placement, mature trees are leafed out, and the ground is workable for trenching. Book April for May install.
