Outdoor Lighting in Des Plaines
Des Plaines spans riverfront homes to bungalow blocks. Each calls for a slightly different lighting language, and we speak both.
For over two decades, Paramount Outdoor Lighting Group has been designing, installing, and maintaining outdoor lighting on Des Plaines properties of every size. Our four specialized divisions — Advanced Lightscaping (landscape), Frosty's Holiday Lighting (seasonal), Patio Lighting Pros (outdoor rooms), and Roof Lites Chicago (permanent JellyFish) — give Des Plaines homeowners and property managers a single accountable partner for every category of outdoor lighting.

Local Landmarks and Context
Des Plaines's character — defined by landmarks like Des Plaines River Trail, Lake Opeka, Rivers Casino, and the surrounding Historic Downtown area — informs how we approach lighting design here. The architecture, plantings, lot sizes, and street character all shape what kind of lighting reads as right for the place. Lighting designs that work in a riverfront homes street don't necessarily work in a different setting, and vice versa. We design for Des Plaines specifically.
