Managed In-House, Start to Finish
No subcontractors. No handoffs. One team handles your entire landscape lighting project from design drawings through final installation.
The right landscape lighting does three things at once, it highlights the features of your outdoor space that deserve to be seen, it extends the hours you can actually use and enjoy that space, and it adds a layer of security to your property after dark. At BR Design Build, we design and install custom outdoor landscape lighting for residential properties across Maryland, building systems around your property’s specific architecture, landscaping, and how you use your outdoor space. If you are searching for “landscape lighting contractors near me” in Maryland, BR Design Build designs every lighting system in-house and installs it as part of your complete outdoor build or as a standalone project for your existing property.
We use commercial-grade, low-voltage LED landscape fixtures selected for Maryland’s climate, durable enough to handle the humidity, heat, and freeze-thaw cycles that characterize the region. Every landscape lighting installation begins with a thorough property walkthrough where we identify your key features, discuss the atmosphere you want to create, and map out a lighting plan that achieves it. The result is a system that looks like it was always part of your outdoor space.
When landscape lighting is planned and installed as part of a complete outdoor build, cables are hidden, fixtures are positioned precisely, and transformers are placed discreetly from the start. BR Design Build coordinates your lighting with your patios, walkways, hardscaping, pool, and planting, so every system works together and your property looks its best at every hour, including lighting built into steps, seating walls, and masonry features.
Great outdoor lighting is not about putting fixtures everywhere. It is about putting the right light in exactly the right place. Here is how BR Design Build gets that right.
From pathway lighting installation near me to pool lighting, uplighting, and full property outdoor landscape lighting installation, we design and install the complete range of landscape lighting solutions for Maryland residential properties, every system designed in-house and built for the long term.
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Julia Pribyl HamWe are very pleased with our BR Design Build stone patio that was installed late summer 2023. Over the past winter and spring we noticed a little bit of patio settling around our window well, and I reached out about maybe having it repaired. BR Design Build sent someone out ASAP to address the settling and it is back to perfect. I can't recommend them highly enough. It turns out the settling was not even due to improper patio installation, but the builder of my house did not compact the soil well enough around the window well.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Pamela TurnerWe hired BR Design Build to install a hardscape around our new Generac Generator. The frame was made of tiles that matched our patio floor. The frame was filled with river cobble stones. We also had Craig install a ramp made of matching tiles, in front of our shed. We have worked with BR Design Build on other projects including retaining walls, soil erosion solutions, French drain installation and walkways.The quality of the work is always excellent and the prices are reasonable. I am already planning to hire Craig and his team for a future project next year. We would recommend BR Design Build to design all your landscaping needs.+0Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Don WesnerBR Design was very helpful with practical ideas and installed a beautiful walkway entrance to my property. His team was very diligent, professional and I would highly recommend them.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.George LucasSuperb customer service and craftsmanship on a complete pool and deck resurfacing. Great prices, too. I recommend Craig, Rene, and the team at BD Building & Design enthusiastically!VerifiedKate C.Highly, highly recommend BR Design Build! Craig is a rare gem in his field and then some--an absolute wealth of knowledge. He provided practical, effective, and beautiful solutions to every issue I have (many!). He is honest, relatable, and genuinely likes helping people specific to their budget and desires.VerifiedRuss S.This company was great to work with. From the initial contact with Craig ( came out and discussed what we wanted and provided an initial quote that was competitive and very close to final price). Crew arrived on time and worked diligently. We were removing a lot of landscape around original patio and extending the original patio by replacing with pavers. The crew dug up and disposed of old plants/bushes. BR researched the type of paver that was used on original portion of patio (we were 2nd owner and didn't have records) and the new stones matched really well. They Had to work around an initial design and the final outcome looked great. The crew cleaned up after themselves and left the property looking as they found it. Craig and team were all friendly and easy to work with. Would highly recommend them for patio work.VerifiedHeather G.Craig is an absolute angel. We had work done to regrade our front yard, install a silt trap and have two pop ups put in. Our HOA was a nightmare about it and Craig was professional and fantastic throughout the entire process. His team not only did a fantastic job, they came back and moved one of the pop-ups back by a few inches after the HOA came around with a measuring tape. I cannot recommend BR Design Build more highly.VerifiedChris J.We had several projects that needed to be completed around our home including a patio and walkway, as well as tree planting. I must say from the very start Craig, was a pleasure to work with, from our first meeting all the way through the process. He walked our property with me as I explained to him what it was we were looking for and gave insights and suggestions that were within my budget. Most contractors that came out gave inflated estimates and were trying to price with "add ons" that were not needed. Once we chose BR, Craig was top notch all the way. He was communicative, open, honest, and most of all......on time. I can not tell you how refreshing that is!! Most contractors I have ever dealt with are all over the place with time frames and scheduling (what's new right). But BR was different. Once contracted they gave specific deadlines and not only met every one of them, but were finished early!! Early and quality work they will stand by. Amazing in this day and age! BR workers were just as friendly and polite as their principle. I would highly recommend BR Design and build. I would choose them again and again based on this very pleasant and easy transaction. Craig Smith and his team at BR Design and Build are fantastic. Thank you!VerifiedKathleen A.My experience with Craig and his crew was exceptional. The job was fairly small. He extended a flower bed, tilled in a large amount of rich soil and helped me pick out shrubs and a tree. They planted and mulched. He also installed a brick walkway between my neighbors' driveway and mine. His crew was very professional and punctual. Craig did a larger job for my neighbor and we have both had compliments on jobs well done. I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again and highly recommend them.VerifiedTamika S.What an amazing experience. From start to finish, Craig has been responsive. It poured down raining and when I tell you my yard is so dry, I am so impressed with his work to waterproof my yard. We are now hoping to use him to section off our yard and design us a new backyard. You won't be disappointed. Very up front, honest and reasonable!!! A++++

Have questions about landscape lighting design, installation, or pricing? Here are answers to the most common questions from homeowners across Maryland.
We install pathway and walkway lighting, uplighting and accent lighting, pool and patio lighting, security and perimeter lighting, and full property landscape lighting systems. We also repair and upgrade existing lighting systems, including halogen to LED upgrades.
We use commercial-grade, low-voltage LED landscape fixtures selected for durability in Maryland’s climate. LED fixtures are significantly more energy-efficient than older halogen systems and last far longer, making them the right long-term choice for any Maryland outdoor lighting system.
Yes. We upgrade existing halogen landscape lighting systems to modern LED fixtures. The upgrade improves energy efficiency, reduces electricity costs, and delivers better, more consistent light output across your property.
Most residential landscape lighting installations are completed in one to two days depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the design. We provide a timeline during your initial consultation.
When searching for landscape lighting contractors near me, look for a company that designs the lighting system specifically for your property rather than applying a standard layout. BR Design Build designs every system from scratch, manages all installation in-house, and uses commercial-grade fixtures built for Maryland’s climate.
Yes. Landscape lighting works best when it’s planned with the hardscaping, so BR Design Build integrates fixtures into patios, paver walkways, steps, and masonry walls as part of the build. Cables are hidden and transformers placed discreetly, lighting your patio, pool, and outdoor living areas so the space stays usable and looks its best after dark.
