NEW ORLEANS, LA – August 03, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
TurnKey Drainage has added professional landscape lighting design and installation as a formal service category within its landscape division, giving residential and commercial property owners across the Greater New Orleans area a dedicated option for illuminating gardens, pathways, and outdoor living areas alongside the company’s existing drainage and landscape offerings.
The addition expands a service portfolio that has centered on drainage systems, hardscaping, irrigation, landscape installation, and outdoor structures, and it positions lighting as a standalone discipline rather than an incidental add-on to other projects. Through the new category, the company evaluates a property’s layout, identifies the features worth illuminating, and installs fixtures intended to serve both functional and aesthetic purposes after dark.
According to the company, landscape lighting serves three primary roles for property owners. It accentuates architectural features and landscape elements such as trees, shrubs, and flower beds to create visual focal points; it improves safety by illuminating walkways, steps, and driveways to reduce the risk of trips and falls at night; and it extends the usable hours of patios, gardens, and backyard spaces well past sunset. A well-lit exterior, the company notes, can also act as a deterrent to trespassing by reducing the dark areas around a property’s perimeter.
The service encompasses several distinct lighting types. Pathway lighting is positioned along walkways, driveways, and garden paths to guide movement and improve nighttime visibility, with fixtures available in a range of designs. Garden and plant accent lighting focuses on trees, shrubs, and flower beds to highlight texture, color, and form. Deck and patio lighting, ranging from overhead string lights to recessed step fixtures, is intended to make seating and dining areas inviting after dark. Security lighting, including motion-activated lights and floodlights, is placed around a property’s perimeter, while pool and water feature lighting uses underwater and floating fixtures to add visual interest while improving safety around aquatic features.
A spokesperson for TurnKey Drainage said the expansion reflects demand the company has encountered while completing other outdoor projects. “Property owners frequently invest in landscaping and hardscaping only to have those features disappear once the sun goes down,” the spokesperson said. “Formalizing landscape lighting as its own service allows our team to plan illumination deliberately, so the design works as well at night as it does during the day, with attention to safety, energy use, and the specific character of each property.”
The company indicated that several considerations guide each lighting project. Budget is established early so that design recommendations remain within a property owner’s financial parameters. Design preferences are accommodated across a spectrum from subtle, understated illumination to more dramatic effects. Energy efficiency factors into fixture and bulb selection, with LED options noted for their durability and lower energy consumption, which can reduce long-term operating costs. Maintenance needs are also weighed, including the accessibility of fixtures and wiring for future bulb replacement, adjustments, and inspections.
TurnKey Drainage stated that the new offering complements its broader landscape work, allowing lighting to be coordinated with drainage grading, irrigation routing, and hardscape placement during a single planning process rather than handled as a disconnected project. The company maintains business hours Monday through Saturday and offers consultations for property owners considering the addition.
The expansion comes as interest in outdoor living continues to grow among property owners seeking to make fuller use of their exterior spaces throughout the year. By integrating lighting into a service menu that already addresses water management and landscape construction, the company positions itself to handle outdoor projects from grading and drainage through final illumination.
