Austin and the team at Bayshore Nightscapes absolutely knocked it out of the park! We recently had landscape lighting installed around our home, including the front landscaping and driveway, and the results exceeded our expectations. Austin was fantastic to work with from start to finish. He really knows his stuff, has a great eye for detail, and helped bring our vision to life. The lighting completely transformed the look of our home at night. Everything looks clean, elegant, and professionally done without being overdone. You can tell Austin takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about making sure his customers are happy. Couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. If you’re considering landscape lighting in the Tampa Bay area, I highly recommend Austin and Bayshore Nightscapes. Five stars all around!
Outdoor lighting in Ballast Point
Ballast Point sits at the southern tip of the Interbay peninsula, where Bayshore Boulevard curves toward the water and Ballast Point Park's pier reaches out into Hillsborough Bay. It is a neighborhood built for families — convenient to MacDill Air Force Base and a short drive from downtown, Hyde Park, and the rest of Tampa — while the luxury homes along the eastern shore enjoy some of the most striking skyline views in the city. Our landscape lighting designs are built around those views, framing the house without ever washing out the water beyond it.
Living this close to the bay changes what a lighting system has to survive. Salt air, summer storms, and afternoon sun are hard on cheap fixtures, so we install marine-grade solid brass and copper with sealed, corrosion-resistant connections and weather-rated transformers. Along the shoreline we use shielded, precision-aimed pathway lighting for docks, seawalls, and walkways, and warm outdoor living lighting for the porches and patios where Ballast Point families actually spend their evenings.

Why choose us
Our process

Common questions
Do you work with homes near MacDill Air Force Base?
Yes — Ballast Point and the surrounding Interbay neighborhoods are among our most-served areas, and we work regularly with military families. We can schedule consultations around deployment timelines and PCS moves, and our systems are designed to be low-maintenance if you're away for extended periods.
Can you light a bayfront property without blocking the view?
That is the heart of the design. We keep fixtures low, shielded, and aimed inward at the house and landscape so nothing throws glare toward the water. The result is a home that glows while the bay and the downtown skyline stay perfectly visible from your patio.
How much does outdoor lighting cost in Ballast Point?
Most Ballast Point projects range from $3,000 to $9,000, with larger bayfront properties running higher when docks, seawalls, and extensive landscaping are included. Every quote is detailed, fixed, and comes after a free on-site visit — no obligation.
Will salt air ruin the fixtures?
Not the ones we install. We use solid brass and copper rated for coastal environments, which develop a natural patina instead of corroding. They are backed by a 20-year fixture warranty, and we service what we install.
