Illuminations by DiSabatino is the landscape lighting division of DiSabatino Inc., a luxury design-build firm serving the Brandywine Valley for over 30 years. Led by Alex Hambleton, a member of the Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals (AOLP), our team designs and installs custom low-voltage landscape lighting systems that highlight your property's best features while improving safety and security.
Whether you need pathway lighting for a Greenville estate, architectural uplighting on a Chadds Ford stone facade, or a complete outdoor living lighting plan for your Main Line home, our designers create systems tailored to your property's architecture and landscape.
Professionally designed landscape lighting transforms your outdoor space after dark. Here is what homeowners across Delaware County and Chester County gain from a custom lighting installation:
Well-placed path lights, step lights, and entrance lighting reduce trip hazards and help guests navigate your property safely at night. Our low-voltage LED systems provide consistent illumination along walkways, driveways, and pool decks without high energy costs.
A dark property invites unwanted attention. Strategic lighting around entry points, garage areas, and property perimeters creates a well-lit environment that discourages trespassing. Motion-activated zones add an extra layer of protection.
Landscape lighting is one of the highest-ROI outdoor improvements you can make. A professionally designed system showcases your home's architecture, mature trees, garden beds, and hardscaping features at night, making your property stand out in the neighborhood.
With the right lighting, your outdoor living spaces become usable well past sunset. Entertaining on the patio, relaxing by the fire pit, or dining in your outdoor kitchen all improve when you can see what you are doing.
Uplights, downlights, and wall wash fixtures highlight the stonework, columns, and architectural details of your home. Our designers position each fixture to create depth and visual interest without harsh glare.
Low-profile path lights guide visitors safely from the street to your front door. We use fixtures that complement your landscape style, whether your property features formal gardens or natural plantings.
Accent lighting draws attention to specimen trees, ornamental plantings, and water features. Techniques like moonlighting (downlighting from tree canopies) create natural, soft illumination across garden areas.
Integrated lighting for patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, pool areas, and seating walls. We coordinate with our outdoor living design team to build lighting into every project from the start.
Recessed step lights, railing lights, and overhead string or pendant lighting create inviting gathering spaces. All fixtures are rated for outdoor use and designed to withstand Mid-Atlantic weather.
Custom seasonal lighting installations for homeowners who want a professionally designed holiday display without climbing ladders or untangling wires.
We visit your property at dusk to assess the landscape, architecture, and existing electrical infrastructure. This lets our designer see exactly how light falls across your property and identify the best placement for every fixture.
Your designer creates a detailed lighting plan showing fixture types, locations, beam angles, and wattage. We use professional-grade design software so you can visualize the final result before we install anything.
We specify commercial-grade, low-voltage LED fixtures from brands like FX Luminaire, Kichler, and WAC Lighting. Every fixture is chosen for durability, color temperature, and energy efficiency.
Our trained installation team buries all wiring, sets fixtures at precise angles, and tests every zone. Low-voltage systems (12V) are safe to install without trenching permits in most jurisdictions and eliminate shock risk.
We program timers, photocells, or smart home integration so your system runs automatically. During the walkthrough, we adjust every fixture with you present to make sure the result matches your vision.

We design and install landscape lighting for homeowners throughout the Brandywine Valley and surrounding communities:
Greenville, Wilmington, Centerville, Hockessin, Middletown, and North Wilmington
Media, Swarthmore, Wallingford, and surrounding communities
West Chester, Kennett Square, Chadds Ford, Unionville, and Malvern
Villanova, Bryn Mawr, Wayne, Gladwyne, Devon, Haverford, and Ardmore
Every property is different, so we provide custom quotes after an on-site consultation. A typical residential lighting system for a Delaware or Chester County home ranges from a few thousand dollars for focused accent lighting to five figures for a comprehensive whole-property system. We offer financing through HFS Financial to make larger projects more accessible.
We install commercial-grade, low-voltage (12V) LED fixtures from professional brands like FX Luminaire, Kichler, and WAC Lighting. LED fixtures use up to 80% less energy than halogen, last 50,000+ hours, and produce minimal heat. We do not use solar-powered or big-box retail fixtures.
Most residential installations take 1 to 3 days depending on the scope. Larger estate properties or projects combined with landscape construction may take longer. We schedule installations around your availability and weather conditions.
LED systems require very little maintenance. We recommend an annual check to clean lenses, adjust fixtures that may have shifted, and trim vegetation that has grown around lights. Our team offers maintenance visits to keep your system performing at its best.
Yes. Our 12-volt systems carry no shock risk, even if a wire is accidentally cut or exposed. Low-voltage landscape lighting is the industry standard for residential properties and is safe for families, pets, and anyone who comes in contact with the fixtures or wiring.
Absolutely. We regularly add lighting to established landscapes without disturbing existing plantings or hardscape. Our installation team uses careful trenching techniques that preserve root systems and existing features.
