Landscape Lighting in Hingham, MA: What You Need to Know

Hingham is one of the most active landscape lighting markets on the South Shore. Here is how we approach projects in Hingham and what homeowners there typically invest.

Hingham Homes at Night

Hingham has some of the finest residential architecture on the South Shore, colonials and capes dating to the 1700s on the town's historic streets, larger newer construction on the hills above town, and waterfront properties along the harbor. The range of architecture means every project in Hingham is designed from scratch for that specific house.

We work in Hingham regularly and it consistently produces some of our most photographed projects. The combination of mature trees, quality stonework, and architecturally detailed homes gives the lighting design a lot to work with.

Stone Walls and Fieldstone in Hingham

Many Hingham properties, particularly in the older sections of town, have original fieldstone walls and granite foundations that are remarkable when lit correctly. Wall grazing on old New England stonework is one of the most compelling landscape lighting techniques we use, and Hingham has some of the best stone to work with in our entire service area.

Coastal Considerations

Hingham Harbor and its surrounding neighborhoods bring the same salt-air durability consideration that applies throughout coastal Massachusetts. All fixtures we install in Hingham are solid brass, the only material that holds up long-term in a coastal environment. Plastic and aluminum fixtures fail within a few years on properties near the water.

What Projects in Hingham Typically Cost

A mid-size Hingham colonial with walkway lighting, tree uplighting on two or three specimen trees, and facade lighting on the entry columns typically runs $4,000 to $7,000 installed with solid brass fixtures and a lifetime warranty. Larger waterfront or historic properties run higher. We provide an exact quote with your free design plan, no surprises at the end.
