Outdoor Lighting in Highwood
Highwood is Chicagoland's dinner-and-drinks downtown — a walkable Sheridan Road strip that lights up every night. We handle both the residential streets and the patios that line them.
For over two decades, Paramount Outdoor Lighting Group has been designing, installing, and maintaining outdoor lighting on Highwood 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 Highwood homeowners and property managers a single accountable partner for every category of outdoor lighting.

Local Landmarks and Context
Highwood's character — defined by landmarks like Downtown Highwood Restaurant Row, Everts Park, Fort Sheridan (adjacent), and the surrounding neighborhood — 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 restaurant-row downtown street don't necessarily work in a different setting, and vice versa. We design for Highwood specifically.
