Gemstone Permanent Trim Lighting in Tempe

Gemstone permanent trim lighting is a low-profile LED track installed once along your roofline that replaces temporary holiday lights forever — and it’s our most-requested install in Tempe. The track is color-matched to your fascia and tucked under the eave, so it’s nearly invisible in daylight, whether it’s a mid-century Maple-Ash home or a newer build in The Lakes. At night it does whatever you want: warm white architectural accent lighting year-round, full color for Christmas and Halloween, or maroon and gold for ASU game day — all scheduled from your phone. Every system is engineered for Arizona sun and heat and backed by a lifetime parts warranty.

Landscape Lighting Design & Installation in Tempe

Tempe’s older neighborhoods have some of the Valley’s best mature tree canopy, and our low-voltage LED landscape lighting is built to show it off: uplighting on established shade trees and palms, wash lighting on block, brick, and stucco walls, path lighting along walkways, and lighting for pool decks, patios, and outdoor kitchens. We design in warm color temperatures (2700K–3000K) with heat-rated fixtures built for Arizona summers and placement that lights the property without spilling into the night sky. Landscape lighting also doubles as security lighting — a well-lit lot is the simplest deterrent there is.

Patio & Bistro Lighting for Tempe Backyards

Tempe backyards are built for evening living, and professionally installed patio and bistro lighting is what makes them usable ten months a year. We install commercial-grade string lighting with proper poles, tensioned cable, and hidden wiring — no sagging strands or extension cords — over patios, pergolas, pool areas, and courtyards. It’s the fastest way to turn a backyard into a place you actually want to be after sundown.

Christmas Light Installation in Tempe

Our professional Christmas light installation is fully turn-key: custom design for your home, commercial-grade lights we supply, full-season maintenance, then takedown and storage after the holidays. You never touch a ladder — that’s the whole point of the name. Tempe install dates fill months before Thanksgiving, so early booking gets first pick of pre-holiday slots. See examples of our work in the gallery.

What Tempe Customers Say

Frequently Asked Questions

What goes into the cost of outdoor lighting in Tempe?

Tempe pricing is always specific to the property, never a flat rate. A permanent Gemstone trim quote depends on your roofline footage, the track profile your home calls for, and your construction type. Landscape lighting is shaped by the fixtures you choose, the brightness, and how far the wiring runs. Holiday displays come down to the light types, the design, and add-ons like wrapped trees and shrubs. We design and price every Tempe job individually on a free on-site visit.

Do you install permanent (year-round) Christmas lights in Tempe?

Yes — from the mid-century streets of Maple-Ash to Tempe’s newer infill homes, permanent trim is a favorite. As an authorized Gemstone Lights® dealer, we install a custom roofline track that stays up all year: warm white for everyday, full color for the holidays or ASU game days, all run from an app.

Will permanent roofline lighting be approved by my Tempe HOA?

In our experience, yes — Gemstone is one of the most HOA-friendly permanent lighting systems available because the track is color-matched to your fascia and virtually invisible in daylight. Tempe’s HOA communities, like The Lakes, Warner Ranch, and Cyprus Southwest, are exactly where it fits best, and for architectural review we can provide product spec sheets, track color samples, and daytime photos of completed local homes to submit with your application.

How soon can you schedule an installation in Tempe?

Most Tempe estimates are booked within the week, with crews dispatched from our Phoenix location just minutes away. The October-through-December stretch fills quickly, so call or text (480) 567-7088 early to claim your install date.

Can you install on block, brick, and stucco homes in Tempe?

Yes — Tempe’s housing runs from mid-century block and brick to modern stucco builds, and our custom Gemstone track profiles mount cleanly on all of them, including stucco walls without standard eaves that clip-on systems struggle with.

What areas of Tempe do you service?

We cover all of Tempe — Maple-Ash, The Lakes, Warner Ranch, Cyprus Southwest, the neighborhoods around ASU and Tempe Town Lake, and the rest of the city. Not sure you’re in our area? A quick call to (480) 567-7088 confirms it.

Do you light commercial properties in Tempe?

Yes — beyond homes, we handle Tempe storefronts, offices, restaurants, and HOA common areas around Mill Avenue, Tempe Town Lake, and the ASU area with permanent architectural lighting and seasonal holiday displays. Ask about commercial quotes at (480) 567-7088.
