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 Palma Ceia
Palma Ceia is South Tampa's center of gravity — the golf and country club, the Bay to Bay corridor, and blocks of homes ranging from restored 1920s Mediterraneans to substantial new builds, all under a canopy of live oaks. It is also the neighborhood where lighting is most visible, because so many neighbors have it. Doing it well means going beyond a row of path lights: layered landscape lighting with a clear focal point, architectural accents, and real canopy work.
Canopy work with tree uplighting on the oaks is where Palma Ceia designs earn their keep — light through those limbs is what makes the street feel like an outdoor room. From there we graze the facade for texture, define the entry, run pathway lighting along walks and driveways, and add outdoor living lighting for back patios and pool decks. Fixtures sit low in the beds, so there is almost nothing visible in daylight.

Our process

Common questions
What makes a Palma Ceia lighting design stand out?
Layering and restraint. Most systems in the neighborhood stop at path lights and a couple of uplights. Adding canopy uplighting, facade grazing, and a genuine focal point — while keeping areas intentionally dark — is what separates a designed system from an installed one.
How much does lighting cost in Palma Ceia?
Most projects run $4,000 to $14,000. Larger properties with extensive oak canopy, pool decks, and detailed architecture run higher. Every quote is fixed and itemized after a free on-site design visit.
Can you light the oaks without harming them?
Yes. LED fixtures produce very little heat, we set them at grade away from bark and root flare, and cable is hand-trenched so major roots are never cut.
Do you offer a night demonstration before I commit?
We do, and we recommend it. We bring fixtures to your home after dark and show you exactly how your house and trees will look. It is free with no obligation.
