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 Gandy-Sun Bay South
The Gandy and Sun Bay South corridor sits at the southwestern corner of South Tampa, where Gandy Boulevard runs out toward the bridge and Old Tampa Bay opens up to the west. It is a genuinely mixed area — waterfront single-family homes, townhome enclaves, and bayfront condominium communities — and each calls for a different scale of landscape lighting. What they share is exposure: open water to the west, full afternoon sun, and constant salt air.
We build for that exposure with solid brass and copper fixtures, sealed connectors, and transformers mounted in protected locations. Single-family properties typically get facade grazing, tree uplighting on palms, and pathway lighting at the entry and driveway; townhomes and condos get compact courtyard and garden lighting treatments sized to the space; and waterside patios get warm outdoor living lighting that keeps the sunset view unobstructed.

Why choose us
Our process

Common questions
Do you work with condo and townhome communities?
Yes — both individual units with private patios and full common-area projects for associations. For association work we provide a site plan, fixture schedule, and phased pricing that boards can review.
Is this area hard on lighting equipment?
It is one of the harder spots in Tampa: open western bay exposure means sustained salt air and wind-driven rain. That is exactly why we use marine-grade brass and copper here rather than aluminum.
What is the typical cost near Gandy and Sun Bay South?
Patio and courtyard systems start around $1,500. Full single-family systems generally run $3,000 to $9,000, with waterfront properties toward the upper end.
Can lighting be timed to come on automatically?
Every system includes a photocell and astronomic timer, so it tracks sunset through the year without adjustment. Zones can be scheduled separately and controlled from your phone if you want that.
