Samson Landscape + Design
Artful outdoor illumination that highlights your property's best features and extends your living space into the evening.
Great landscape lighting doesn't announce itself — it reveals what's already there. At Samson Landscape + Design, we approach every property as a canvas, using light to draw attention to mature trees, highlight architectural details, and guide the eye through your landscape with intention and subtlety.
Serving Shaker Heights, Cleveland Heights, University Heights, and surrounding Eastside communities, we design lighting systems that go far beyond the basics. Uplighting, downlighting, moonlighting, silhouetting, shadowing — each technique serves a purpose, and together they paint your property with depth and dimension that only reveals itself after sunset.
We start with your property's unique architecture and landscaping, designing a lighting plan that enhances what makes your home special. Every fixture placement is deliberate — chosen for the effect it creates, not simply to fill a space.
This isn't about sticking lights in the ground. We use uplighting to dramatize trees, downlighting to mimic moonlight, silhouetting to create striking outlines, and shadowing to add texture and mystery. Each technique layers together to create an experience, not just visibility.
Professional-grade LED fixtures, low-voltage systems, and expert wiring that's invisible by day and transforms your property by night. Every connection is weatherproofed, every wire is buried, and every fixture is positioned for maximum impact with minimum intrusion.
Safe, inviting pathways with fixtures that complement your landscape rather than interrupt it. We select and position each light to guide movement naturally while adding warmth and character to your walkways, driveways, and garden paths.
Highlight your home's best features — stone walls, columns, entryways, and unique architectural details. We use precise beam angles and fixture placement to wash facades with light, accentuate textures, and create a welcoming presence that sets your property apart from the street.
Transform mature trees and garden beds into dramatic focal points that bring your landscape to life after dark. Uplighting reveals canopy structure and bark texture, while garden accents create pools of light that draw the eye through your plantings with depth and drama.
Strategic illumination that deters intruders while maintaining the beauty of your property. We eliminate dark zones around entries, garages, and side yards with lighting that feels intentional and designed — not harsh or industrial.
