Custom Copper Lighting
Our custom copper lighting solutions transform outdoor spaces through handcrafted fixtures tailored to client specifications. Using 16-32 oz Revere Sheet Copper, each piece is brazed and patinated for enduring beauty. Ideal for pathways, gardens, or architectural accents, these lights combine artistic design with functional illumination. Clients receive energy-efficient LED bulbs and durable PVC anchors for easy installation.
Copper Sculpture Design
We create one-of-a-kind copper sculptures that serve as focal points for gardens and landscapes. From wildlife motifs to abstract forms, each sculpture is hand-formed using plasma-cut patterns and traditional metalworking techniques. Clients collaborate on design concepts, with options for scale adjustments and patina finishes. These weather-resistant artworks develop natural character over time while maintaining structural integrity.
Pathway Lighting
Our pathway lighting system provides both safety and ambiance through geometrically spaced copper fixtures. Each unit includes a 10-inch PVC stake for stability and an energy-efficient LED bulb. Available in styles like Mushroom, Oak Path, and Pyramid, these lights create cohesive lighting schemes while resisting corrosion in varied climates. Retail packages include free shipping and easy assembly.
Accent Lighting
Accent lighting highlights specific garden elements through sculptural copper designs like the Monarch Caladium or Cattail Bouquet. These fixtures blend artistic detail with practical illumination, available in customizable heights and patina options. The included LED bulbs reduce energy costs by 80% compared to traditional systems while maintaining a warm, inviting glow.
Landscape Lighting
Comprehensive landscape lighting plans integrate multiple fixture types for cohesive outdoor environments. Services include placement recommendations for trees, water features, and architectural elements. Copper materials ensure longevity against weather extremes, while modular designs allow mixing styles without visual dissonance. Contractors receive specialized pricing and installation guidance for large-scale projects.

Lowell does FANTASTIC work. My fiance came up with an idea to have the copper light be a tree. I thought the design he came up with looked cool but would be way too difficult to achieve, but Lowell did it and it looks even better than we imagined! It gives off such beautiful light and makes our patio look so gorgeous. Everyone who comes over comments on how lovely it looks. We couldnt be happier
